Release List
Gail Kim
Melina
Vladimir Kozlov
Chris Masters
DH Smith

Should change the title to WWE: Bitches Leave

Vladimir Kozlov is gone as well. WHAT WILL NXT DO NOW?!

I find it funny that today WWE.com seems to have posted a new set of "Diva Focus" pictures featuring Melina as well.

Neither ones really a big suprise, almost forgot Melina was still employed.

Melina and Gail don't surprise me, but Kozlov does. I guess this explains why they've been putting Santino with Ryder lately.

WWE Presents: Melina: Destroying your career in 140 characters or less.

Chris Masters is gone.

Gail Kim was decent in the ring. But her opinions on the current situation of the diva roster might have gotten her fired. Not to mention the self elimination at RAW.

I was never a fan of Melina. Her thing with David Bautista was kinda sad. But her bitching about not getting a match at Wrestlemania...I mean she had one of the worst matches at Wrestlemania if my memory serves me right.

Vladmir was adorable and he used to bring a smile on my face :'(

Hearing A. Fox may be lurking on the unemployment line, but I haven't seen it on any reputable source yet.

Wow. And earlier today I was talking about how he should be promoted to the mid carder level :nono:

There goes Morrison's girl...Now people will criticize him for not trying to talk WWE into keeping her.

Nah j/k.

DH Smith is gone. Didn't really see that one coming, even though it's not a surprise.

Tactical Force shall also be released this tuesday on DVD and Blu-ray.

Gail Kim quit the WWE? I didn't know she was even a wrestler. I always thought she was one of those Asian women who did Layla's nails.


lol

I feel bad for DH, never really got a chance.

He hasn't been on TV for a while, and im sure it was his mother saying he was doing alot of MMA training as of late in interviews, can see him going to TNA though.

BTW, someone put out a suicide watch on Ryder's dad.

Vladimir Kozlov is trending on Twitter.

And now DH Smith, David Hart Smith and Chris Masters are.

DH smith :( i liked him

Wouldn't be surprised if Morrison protest quits at some point down the line.

Honestly, if I were Morrison, I'd be like "thank fuck".

Honestly, she'll probably fuck him over anyway, as long as they're together and she's on Twitter. She'll say something stupid and he'll get punished for it.

Nothing can stop Batista now

I'm not really that surprised. I had a feeling she would quit.

I'm a bit surprised but also somewhat happy that I won't have to listen to her pointless screams during her matches anymore.

I wasn't expecting Kozlov. But when I think about it, I should have seen it coming. Recently, it looked like nobody really knew what to do with the guy.

It's sad to see him be released again. He can still go for The Internet Championship, right? :shifty:

Like Innovator said, he never got a chance. It's a shame. :-\

Haha. Yep. Morrison spending all those nights on the road while Melina's all alone with the like of Batista and Mike Knox lurking. It'll probably drive him nuts.

Brooklyn Brooklyn!

DH Smith's release surprised me the most. I bet he's back at some point.

He doesn't have to worry about both of them, Batista walks alone.

lol

Does Batista fuck alone, though?

I am surprised that guys like Tyler Reks, Trent Barreta and JTG didn't make it to the future endeavored list.

I guess Masters shouldn't have said the bad word Vince doesn't like on Ryder's show, "IWC" :shifty:

The WWE is going to pull a "Carlito" for Kozlov on NXT considering how he was in the middle of a feud with JTG and one of the pros.

Kinda gutted about Kozlov and Masters. I really liked Masters, and Kozlov is entertaining. Don't care about Melina and Gail Kim, and I forgot all about DH Smith to be honest.

It's still early. WWE has been known to wait as late as after SmackDown! to release talent. Could still be major releases in a bit.

I would think this were a joke if not for the timing. :(

My thoughts exactly.

Smith was rushed through his development years and suffered for it. I agree, I dont doubt he can get some work in Japan and really find himself.

Hes only 25. That means he was what, 21 when he was first called up and suspended.

Hes not even in his prime yet. If he can keep working, he can have a chance to come back.

Think of it this way....If they thought Kidd had more to offer, he needs some work.

I love Gail. I think she was the sexiest Diva on the roster. For reals.

Oh well, I never saw her anyways.

Melina can fuck off...Have hated her since day 1.

How a I supposed to win TPWW Survivor Round 2 now????

Agreed, Gail had it going on.

Gail has less squinty eyes that Kelly Kelly BTW

and a better ass.

I’ve always believed that Melina is the most talented Diva ever employed by World Wrestling Entertainment. (not to mention the hottest!) Her face conveys emotion. Vince McMahon likes to say “Television is a feeling” and I agree with him. That’s what Sports Entertainment is all about. Melina’s presence on Television, aside from the obvious (she be sexy!) is raw emotion- joy, rage, surprise, disgust… her passion just pours out of her.
Melina’s presence on Monday Night Raw will be missed by the WWE universe… and especially by me.
I think this is the end of a chapter in the book of @RealMelina – I met Melina on my audition for Tough Enough 3, I never forgot the smile, and hug she gave me when I made the show and she got cut and told to go home. I’ve stood next to her with Joey while MNM was yelled at; told we’d never make it, we were worthless. I’ve seen her come back from 2 career threatening injuries. She is one of a kind, and talented enough to do whatever she wants. I’m proud to be her man. I love her, and will support whatever she chooses to do next.
#staystrong #thankyoumelina - Morrison

gay

didn't Gail Kim just say she wasn't trying to get fired? I mean I suppose she's technically right....

I have a feeling that it was one of those "You're fired" "you can't fire me, I QUIT!"

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x-QYibE4rFM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

He's the anti-Chael Sonnen.

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Gun5BF0aGCo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I guess the feeling wasn't mutual :'(

I bet Morrison does the splits entrance into the ring next time he's on TV to pay homage.

I can't wait to blow a kiss to Big Vito 22 before disappearing into the crowd.

Chael Sonnen should definitely be a professional wrestling manager. He's sold the Silva/Okami fight better than either guy.

I see Melina going to TNA and cutting shoot promos on the WWE & the divas or something.

Getting the pink slip from your employer is the biggest loss of all. Kozlov should be out. This is Kelly Kelly's moment damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He just had a Q & A before the 133 weigh in, highlight (from jabba) "Ed Soares, the Nogs, and Anderson walked into a bar, but there was only one stool left. so they just turned it upside down"

None of these are really surprising. Kozlov I thought would have had more time considering the guy was only in the main event 2 years ago and they looked to be building up back up to at least mid-card level with Santino and his latest antics on NXT.

I love that Melina is released the same day she is that "diva focus" thing for August 5th. lol

Can't wait to see Zack's dad's reaction to Melina going.

LOL Primo Colon hanging on! Haha...

...I'm sure the only reason WWE hasn't fired him is because he's the only Puerto Rican wrestler they have...

or they think he's Sin Cara unmasked

Wait he's NOT Sin Cara unmasked?!

Yes, he is. Actually, Sin Cara's real name is Sin Cara Colon.

Phew okay. There IS a Santa Claus.

3 Of them will end up in Tna ...pick and chose which.

Gail Kim (Because she has been there before and has "history")
DH Smith (Because he is a second generation, which they can exploit for a few months based only on that and not on any talent he may have himself)
Melina (Because she is most likely to go insane and start spouting negative comments about WWE)

Has to fight Rob Terry in a series of classic bouts.

On a pole.

<font color=goldenrod>Honestly I forgot David Hart Smith was still on the roster. He didn't even appear on Superstars anymore. I could see him going into MMA.</font>

He'll join the British Invasion..

TNA doesnt really need Masters since they've got like 6 guys that are all the same Big Dumb Guy..

I honestly didn't expect a summer house cleaning.

Not surprised Gail Kim is out. She came back, we all thought she was going to be something again, then got thrown together with Bryan, and that was that.

Kozlov is a bit of a surprise, as is DH Smith. You'd think Bret Hart would call in a few favors to keep him around right about now.

Never cared for Melina only seen Masters once or twice since he came back.

Kozlov if the only one that suprises me here especially when it clearly should have been JTG instead that guy has no freaking potential.

His initial push as a serious heel type failed, but as a comedy face Kozlov was awesome.

Plus, he loves Double Double E!

I'm most surprised by the Kozlov firing..... He was actually growing on me.... Smith & Masters haven't been on TV for a while and Gail Kim was probably the most underused (yet most deserving) wrestler in the company.....

However, I will not miss Melina..... she seems like a bitch and now maybe Morrison will get his head out of his ass and take the ball.....

Nah, JTG has potential, but he'll never go anywhere.

Kozlov was the one that saddened me the most. Especially after this:
http://i47.tinypic.com/nz3tq9.jpg

If T and the A were smrt, which they ain't. They would bring all of em in and start a group like the radicalz and have them talk dirty poo poo about the dub dub E. Then make them get huge pushes for 2 weeks.

Only one I actually care about is Gail Kim. Very talented, and a shame she didn't get another big run on her return. Her release is the least surprising of these to me.

Always thought Melina was awful, and her being a complete idiot (judging from tweets) didn't help. At least now I won't have to hear those damn screams during her matches.

I was never a huge fan of Vladimir Kozlov. He was pretty entertaining with Santino, but that was about it. He isn't bad in the ring, I just never really cared for him. Never bought him as a main event-level threat, either.

Speaking of guys I never cared for: Chris Masters. People here seem to love this guy, especially recently. As I've said in the many threads dedicated to him, I don't get it. He's always just seemed kind of "there" to me. Never saw anything special in him, and certainly didn't see him as a World title guy like others did.

While I don't love DH Smith, I do see that he has talent. Problem is, it's all in-ring and not much in the way of charisma. Thought he and Kidd were going places with Bret's backing, and even with the split I saw potential. He's still young, so I could see him coming back sometime down the line. I won't be crushed if he doesn't, though.

Remember when Joey Mercury returned with his face covered and Melina tweeted right away "Welcome back, Joey Mercury!"

Jeez, Kozlov wrestled three times on tv this week and this is how he's rewarded.

lol then claimed she wasn't even watching the show.

Did Melina say it like this:

"WELCOME BACK, JOEY MERCURY!"

Melina is a caps girl.

LOL she said she wasn't watching the show?

So why tweet "Welcome Back, Joey Mercury!"? Maybe he hadn't F'd her in a while, and came back for some of that sweet, Mexican ass?

Why would they fire Kozlov?! The guy was great. :'(
Don't care about Melina and pray to god she doesn't go to TNA.
Gail will be back in TNA as soon as her no compete is up which makes me happy. :)
Should have kept DH and Kidd together expect Kidd to be gone soon as well.
Masters I'll miss but since they wern't doing anything with him I guess it's for the best. :-\

I'm very surprised they waiting this long to have the usual WWE spring cleaning.

So in a couple of weeks, we will once again see TNA mention that they will have a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT...they will tease that they have signed a BIG NAME...and it will probably turn out to be Chris Masters or something...

...can you imagine the kinds of things Vince Russo can make up that involve Masters' pec dance?

Make him the new Total Package Lex Luger.

...Russo will do that too...don't think he won't...he'll give him the name "The Complete Deal" Chris Masters and make him TNA Champion.

He'll be back. They always bring him back.

Are you fucking with me right now?

I was going to make a Mike Knox joke, but... nah.

http://cdn3.iofferphoto.com/img3/ite...-p-l-a5a9c.jpg

WWE can't get enough Freakazoid! references!!!

I seem to recall a conversation in these forums awhile ago about the theory that she and JoMo were possible swingers and therefore he not only knew about but ENCOURAGED the things with Big Dave and Mike Epicbeard, to which I replied something to the point of "that's why Mercury had a job for so long.". Is it possible that joke has a layer of truth...?

Tyson Kidd
JTG
The Bella Twins
Trent Berreta
Kelly Kelly
Alicia Fox

All need to be future endeavored also.....They all suck

Fuck you in your turtle infested arse.
