I can't see reports of Test gone.

This Just In

Entire SmackDown roster released.

"I forgot we even had that show." - V.K. McMahon

it was in the same report as the one in the link

That's right, thanks for correcting that. :y:

I'm glad to see A-Train and Gunn gone. Test is a little bit of a shame, I always thought he could be a lot more than he was, but I can't say I'll miss him.

Pretty sad, really. All three of these guys had some pretty good potential that was never realized to its fullest extent. Lets look at their highest points in the WWE:

Billy Gunn: King of the Ring, feud with The Rock, NAO, Intercontinental Champion

A-Train: Feud with Chris Benoit... Intercontinental Champion

Test: Stephanie/Triple H marriage, vs. Shane McMahon at SummerSlam 99 (probably his best in-ring showing), Intercontinental Champion

I really thought Test had something special about him. He was the best tall man in the business, and seemed to me like a much younger Kevin Nash with twice the speed, but half the charisma. They could've done a lot more with Test than they did, and he's really the only one I'm going to miss.

Everything went downhill for Test after the "marriage" to Steph was broken up by HHH, as his face push with Stacy didn't go over well enough and nobody cared about him as a heel after. Billy Gunn was getting kind of old and has lost a step in the ring already, but he was still somewhat entertaining. A-Train was probably the best of all three of these guys as his back hair would get him instant heat every night, although he would never make it past the midcards. As long as the WWE keeps bringing in some good new talent, I don't mind the loss of these guys too much.

i guess the tag team t an a can get back togather at tna.

Damn, this is some bad news. All three of those guys are inactive, but I think A-Train & Billy Gunn are able to return soon. I think Billy Gunn is likely to end up in TNA (since it is near his home), and I can see him being a major player there. I can see Gunn interfereing in the Ladder Match, and either taking the title for himself, or beating down Hall, Nash, Hardy and/or Jarret. In coming weeks you could build the tension between BG and BG James, but then have James side with Gunn, and turn on Killings and Konnan (or have them sort of become a "4 Live Kru").

A-Train was fairly talented, and it's a shame to see him go. He might end up in TNA as the partner of Abyss or something. Jim Mitchell would make a great manager for this guy.

Test is injured, but it wouldn't surprise me if the WWE re-hired him when he is able to return. If not, TNA would be a great place for this guy. It will be interesting to see if Stacy tried to help her boyfriend out in any way, or if she's on protest now he's gone.

Test was a huge piece of shit that blew chance after chance after chance at main-eventing

dido for both A-Train and Billy Gunn

I just wonder how they ever blown a chance when that chance was never given to them.

Please tell me when any of them even GOTTEN that chance.

For Test & A-Train, I agree 100%. I also agree with you on the standpoint that Billy Gunn never really got a good opportunity. Some people will try and convince you that the WWE did push him, though.

I disagree with this, however, simply because people put The Big Show in the same boat, yet a strong push to the top (with just giving him one win over Brock Lesnar, and putting Paul Heyman in his corner), and he was a full-time main event superstar. I believe if Gunn had been given a role like JBL now, he could have run with the ball as well.

Hardcore Holly would seem like the logical choice.

There goes my dream of a T & A reunion

billy gunn was still getting massive face pops

i never liked him tho (after DX)

if billy gunn had the talent, he would have git a Main Event push 4 sure.
However, he never had much charisma, could be very stiff in the ring, and ultimatly, just didnt have IT

agree w/ Billy Gunn

However, after the marriage, Test was just kinda forgotten about. inever cared much for him
as for A-train, he never got a strong main event push. His biggest push was probably at WM19 i guess

Damn. I really liked A Train.

They should have kept A-Train on Smackdown, just to keep mid-card interesting. I think if Test went over to Smackdown he could have done alright. Just like they should have done with Steiner.
