Many talents released

[loopydate]

It's not on WWE.com yet, but JR confirms it in his blog.

Is it already time for the next Superstar Purge?

[Ermaximus]

Luke Gallows too sir.

[BigDaddyCool]

Oh, so they are dropping the bland bigmen?

[St. Jimmy]

BEGIN THE PURGE

[Ermaximus]

Oh, so they are dropping the bland bigmen?

No, because then Khali would've been cut first, and then Otunga. :roll:

[dronepool]

Money, money- yeah, yeah.

[Rammsteinmad]

I was surprised Shad was still under contract. Although this makes for typical WWE booking. You have a decent tag team that are over, split up them, release one of them, and put the other on Superstars for him to rot.

Gallows I don't really care about. He did a good job with his role in the SES, but after that you knew it was a matter of time.

On that note, where's Joey Mercury?

In his home injured so I'm sure he's just waiting for that phone call now. What's left for him to do now anyways? The SES is done, Serena and Gallows were cut, and I don't see MNM reuniting given Morrison's sudden push so I think it's safe to say he's next.

[St. Jimmy]

If Otunga gets fired I will do the Santino trombone dance for the rest of the day.

[BigDaddyCool]

No, because then Khali would've been cut first, and then Otunga. :roll:

Khali is a gaint, not a big man. Plus he is a wacky foreigner. Not a run of the mill 300+ pound 6'8" guy.

[Ermaximus]

If Otunga gets fired I will do the Santino trombone dance for the rest of the day.

I will see your Santino wager and raise you an R-Truth "What's Up?" sing-a-long.

[St. Jimmy]

You're on, good sir.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Shit. What are they gonna do with Shad's theme song now?

[Innovator]

House cleaning has been rumored for a week, sad to see Shad go.

[Innovator]

Big Dick Johnson is gone

[Innovator]

In addition to the previously reported Shad Gaspard and Luke Gallows, WWE has also released Vance Archer, Caylen Croft, Tiffany and Jillian Hall today.

[St. Jimmy]

Quickly re-hire JTG and pair him with R-Truth. They're both black so no one will notice the difference.

[erickman]

kind of like to see luke get his old tag partner and go to tna.

[Ermaximus]

WTF? Why would they release Archer and Croft but keep Baretta and Hawkins? Shit, brb, gotta update the points in the pink slip pool again.

You might want to hold off on that for a second. May be more to follow.

[Xero]

Someone rename this to a general release thread.

Surprised Shad was the one released. Always thought he'd be the one to go far just for his size.

[St. Jimmy]

When was JTG released?

I keep forgetting he was re-hired.

[Ermaximus]

Shit just got real.

[Xero]

They released like five or six developmental talents on Monday, so I pretty much expected this.

[XL]

You might want to hold off on that for a second. May be more to follow.
They must be packing their bags in anticipation.

[Xero]

Hope Orton didn't leave them a going away present in said bags.

[Xero]

Hawkins might be safe because he was on TV this week, but obviously that doesn't mean anything.

Could see JTG go, though, and he was on TV this week...

[Innovator]

Cmooooooooooon outside chance of Heath Slater

[Triple Naitch]

It's been all SmackDown guys so far. You have to figure they are going to balance the roster somehow.

[Ermaximus]

Hawkins might be safe because he was on TV this week, but obviously that doesn't mean anything.

Could see JTG go, though, and he was on TV this week...

If anyone appeared on SD, they'd wait until tomorrow to cut them. Masters being on SS may have saved his job until Monday. Just like Primo being an NXT pro has saved him for a few more weeks, along with the Bellas.

[Xero]

After jobbing to The Cobra, I could absolutely see the Usos go.

[Ermaximus]

Jillian is a Raw talent. :shifty:

[Xero]

This is true. Was thinking the same about Reks.

Then again, Primo could easily be released and no one would care about his NXT commitments, much like Carlito.

[Ermaximus]

After jobbing to The Cobra, I could absolutely see the Usos go.

Considering the state of the tag team division, or major lack there of, would anyone care or notice?

Hart Dynasty=broken up
Dudebusters=done
Archer and Hawkins=done
Cryme Tyme=done
The Dashing Ones=broken up

So aside from The Usos, Kozlov/Santino, and the 2 potential tag teams in Nexus, what teams are there? Kofi and Big Show?

[Innovator]

Hopefully not Zack

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why did I read on the front page on one of those bogus links that Christian was fired?

[Xero]

The tag titles should win themselves and go onto have the longest title run in WWE history.

They would wrestle by having the ring crew hit their opponents with the belts.

[Innovator]

Well Tiffany everyone saw coming

[Ermaximus]

This is true. Was thinking the same about Reks.

Then again, Primo could easily be released and no one would care about his NXT commitments, much like Carlito.

I'm honestly still dumbfounded that Reks still has a job after his incident with the plane earlier this year and the fact nobody really gives a fuck who he is in the WWE universe. Dude gets no reaction at all.

[Ermaximus]

Hopefully not Zack
I so hope he doesn't get cut.

Why did I read on the front page on one of those bogus links that Christian was fired?
Because Ryan Clark is a seductive evil cock goblin?

[Innovator]

Reks gets no reaction on a show with dubbed noise

[Xero]

Reks gets no reaction on a show with dubbed noise

lol this says it all.

Jillian is a Raw talent. :shifty:

SmackDown guys, not girls, smartass. :p

What are you referring to?

[Xero]

Orton shitting in bags.

[Ermaximus]

This makes me laugh.

WWE Chairmain and CEO Vince McMahon has signed a new contract with WWE. The employment contract is effective for three years from January 1st, 2011, with additional year extensions unless he or the company decide not to extend.

Vince will serve in his current roles as Chairman and CEO, as well as Creative Director, writer and performer. He’ll get a yearly salary of $1,100,000 and will be entitled to receive an annual bonus target of 100% of base salary depending on performance.

Vince will also have access to the company aircraft for personal time if it’s not in business use at the time, along with immediate family members, and gets four weeks paid vacation.

Vince also has a one-year no-compete clause.

[Xero]

They have to make room on the payroll for Vince's ridiculous demands.

[Ermaximus]

They have to make room on the payroll for Vince's ridiculous demands.

So this explains why all these talents are getting cut. That or they're making room for HHH's 3 daughters to join the company.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder how Alex Riley is feeling right now.

[whiteyford]

Vince also has a one-year no-compete clause.

Must be really scared of him Jumping to TNA:shifty:

[Xero]

I wonder how Alex Riley is feeling right now.

Probably Sidding himself.

[Ermaximus]

Considering he'd automatically win the TNA Title and bury everyone else for almost a year before dropping the title to Vince Russo, I can see why.

[Xero]

Restage Bischoff calling out Vince from WCW but this time Vinnie Mac really does come out.

[whiteyford]

Considering he'd automatically win the TNA Title and bury everyone else for almost a year before dropping the title to Vince Russo, I can see why.

Would he drop it in a pole match of some sort? if so book it:y:

[thedamndest]

How did Shad go before JTG? I mean JTG will probably go with this round, but they gave Shad a makeover and everything.

[Xero]

I wonder how they decide on the order of the releases coming out. Are they real time, or are they like "yeah, we'll release the jobbers now and wait until just before 5 to release anyone of importance"?

[Triple Naitch]

Didn't Shad rub the bookers the wrong way a long time ago?

[Xero]

Didn't Shad rub the bookers the wrong way a long time ago?
I'm sure he rubbed Michael Hayes the wrong way the day they met and Shad said "hi".

[Ermaximus]

How did Shad go before JTG? I mean JTG will probably go with this round, but they gave Shad a makeover and everything.

I'm wondering this myself actually. I guess they need a few credible jobbers on both brands?

[Xero]

Superstars would be a ghost town without the likes of JTG.

[Ermaximus]

Superstars would be a ghost town without the likes of JTG.

Nah, they still have Darren Young, Primo, Trent Baretta, Curt Hawkins, Chavo, and Yoshi Tatsu.

[Xero]

Such a strong lineup.

[Rammsteinmad]

Thought Jillian was released years ago.

[Ermaximus]

Such a strong lineup.

Maybe if they take a page out of SvR2011 and just have those 6 guys main event superstars in a 6 man iron man battle royal the ratings would sky rocket?

[Xero]

I think she was released at one point but came back.

Then she "retired" recently and said she was going to go help out in FCW. Which I suppose is still possible, as I assume these are just talent contracts.

[St. Jimmy]

"Talents" would be better for the title.

[Xero]

Maybe if they take a page out of SvR2011 and just have those 6 guys main event superstars in a 6 man iron man battle royal the ratings would sky rocket?

Inferno matches on Superstars!

Apparently the only non-expendable divas in the WWE are McCool, Kelly Kelly, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, and Layla. I see AJ being added to that list before too long.

[Rammsteinmad]

Yeah, I could honestly imagine McCool's character being her attitude in real life, especially since she's married to one of WWE's most respected veterans, she's probably an uber-bitch backstage.

[MoFo]

<font color=goldenrod>Drew McIntyre is probably going to use this as an excuse to have sex with Tiffany all night.</font>



Why on earth would you need an excuse to have sex with Tiffany?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Anyway, none of these releases is surprising. With tag teams being broken up left and right I figured Croft was a safe bet since he's already in his 30's and I'm not sure what else there'd be for him to do. Ditto for Archer one The Gatecrashers broke up. I think Trent and Hawkins are safe though. Both guys are still really young and from what I've seen pretty solid in the ring. Not sure they'll be regular fixtures on the main roster anytime soon but I can deal with them having decent matches on Superstars while continuing to hone their craft in FCW.

Pretty sure Jillian's sticking around as a trainer in FCW, which is good. Her on-air character was beyond stale and she'd been buried to the point of no return, so letting her train the new divas is a smart move.

Couldn't give a fuck less about Shad or Tiffany. Although I'm sure Drew will use this as an excuse to sex her all night.

The only one that upset me was Gallows, I liked him and thought they could give him a decent babyface run. He's young and has some size to him. But, he's been through like 4 gimmicks and it just doesn't seem like they ever knew what to do with him. Out of this released bunch I'd say he's the most likely to head over to TNA in 90 days.</font>

[Dante69]

They need to fire John Cena :)

[Innovator]

CMPunk CM Punk
Days like today bum me out. Gallows, many times was given chicken shit and turned it gold. He has heart, hustles, and loves wrestling.

[Ermaximus]

Just FYI, not that it matters.

According to a backstage source, referee Aaron “Goose” Mahoney was among those cut by WWE Friday. His release, however, was not officially announced and won’t be.

Who the fuck is Vance Archer anyway? I mean I watch every Raw and skip through bits of Smackdown and have never heard of him until I loaded up Smackdown 2011 and saw him on the roster.

Luke Gallows was just this generation's A Train without the bear outfit.

Jillian is a surprise, because she's been useless for years now and they haven't gotten round to dropping her till now. Must have slipped under the radar.

This happens every year, they bring out a new SvR game and then sack most of the lower card guys which fucks with my simfed roster. How dare they.

God dammit not Jillian. :(

[Jakob Synn]

I wasn't suprised by any of the releases, though, wasn't Jillian just given a job in the WWE that was more so a trainer than a wrestler?

[RiX1024]

Aye, wasn't surprised with some of the releases, maybe Shad and Gallows were the surprised ones. Yeah I was wonder why Alex Riley wasn't cut?

From PWInsider:

Christopher DeJoseph was not the only member of the World Wrestling Entertainment creative team let go last week, PWInsider.com has confirmed. Although we are still working on the names of the writers who were dismissed, we've confirmed that WWE let an additional 2-4 writers go.

The writers were dismissed because company management was unhappy with the results of the last quarter financially and the decision was made to purge the writers and bring in fresh blood with new ideas.

As we noted when word came out that DeJoseph was released, the company has been actively scouting for new writers in the last several weeks.

--

Holy shit, they're actually doing something about the writers.

[Ermaximus]

Someone tell Noid to submit a resume asap.

[Poit]

Also, I bet they stick Trent Baretta and Curt Hawkins in a tag team and act like they were always a tag team. People won't know any better.

Weren't they a tag team in FCW?

[loopydate]

Hawkins was sort of an informal third Dudebuster. In fact, after Barretta and Croft won the belts, the three of them defended them under Freebird Rules.

[Rollermacka]

Hawkins was sort of an informal third Dudebuster. In fact, after Barretta and Croft won the belts, the three of them defended them under Freebird Rules.

Yea, I remember that. Then They gave Hawkins that big Matt Morgan lookin guy as his new back up/ tag team partner. I wonder if he's still around...


Side Note, why the hell is Eli Cottonwood still around when they are firing decient big men like Shad and Luke?
