Joey Mercury----Released
 

Credit: wwe.com

WWE.com has learned that today in Chicago, WWE officials have agreed on the immediate release of Joey Mercury.

Wow, that's worded kind of strangely. IMMEDIATE release? Wonder what happened.

?

My initial reaction was "this is work." For the record.

Tovo----Doesn't give a shit.

Weak.

Mercury: Maaaan... I was released? :-\

I hate to say it, but I'm actually pleased. Seriously, it seemed like MNM and mercury were holding back any plans they wanted to pursue with Nitro. Now you can go ahead with a push for Nitro and the Foley/Nitro/Melina angle on Raw without having to worry about what to do with Mercury.
I mean, he's alright and I realize some consider him the better of the two, but they just had nothing for him and at the moment he was becoming more of an anchor than an asset.

But yeah, this wasn't one I was expecting. Going to guess he did something to upset someone.

Which one was he? The one everyone says had potential, or the other guy?

I guess they finally decided to not keep MNM as a tag team.

They should have at least left him on until after mania and had Melina and Nitro kick him out in kayfabe.

The one that's not having sex with the man with boobs.

I bet they fired him just so they couldn't go back on breaking them up (as easily).

Did he break the wellness policy again perhaps?

Maybe he ran into Stephanie McMahon and asked who she was.

Mercury: Hey, you're not supposed to be here! SECURITY!

Stephanie: ...

Mercury: It's a joke.

WWE.com has learned that today in Chicago, WWE officials have agreed on the immediate release of Joey Mercury.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that sucks. It is like getting fired before christmas.

Why didn't they wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors? I'm going to look into this. I will return when I have an answer.

Well, it's not like he was going to have any gifts under the Christmas tree, anyway.

lol And to think that guy busted his nose for the company putting on a good match.

Which one is fucking Flair? :?:

Anyway, wasn't Mercury the one who violated the Wellness policy? Perhaps this is a followup from the recent "Drug" business.

Unlikely, but still.

It's his fucking nose. It's not like he donated a kidney.

Yeah, and "I won gold with a broken freakin' nose!" Doesn't have the same ting.

Mercury: How far did you say you could squirt?

Stephanie: ...

Mercury: It's a joke.

They should've let him win the US Title for that very reason. :o

Come to think of it, you're on to something.

He had some potential, but considering him and Nitro have the same look and gimmick, and as Nitro is the superior wrestler, it makes sense to cut him loose.

Nitro needs to improve on the mic but he is fastly becoming great in the ring, plus he has the best female talent in years as his manager. Joey has been the 3rd wheel for some time now.

Mercury released. Didn't see this one coming. Unless he did fuck up something back stage or something with the "wellness program".

Oh well, good luck in the future.

well, it was more like his whole face got busted up, rather than just his nose.


This one doesn't surprise me @ all. They wanna push Johnny Nitro as a singles, and Joey Mercury was holding that back. I was actually thinking they would be getting rid of him soon

There goes MNM vs London/Kendrick.

Allenoid's dreams have been getting dashed left and right.

No, it was just his nose. Nose injuries can cause your whole face to swell.

And anyway, its not a big deal.

Yeah, this sucks.

I'm hoping this is all a work, and they'll have Mercury show up randomly and attack people, like Matt Hardy circa 2005 done right, or they'll have him join a new WCW brand or something, but that is highly unlikely. He sounds like he fucked up really bad.

Joey Mercury had so much fucking skill it wasn't funny. Mercury was the better talker in MNM, the more experience, and the better wrestler. Nitro is improving, but he is still a rookie compared to Mercury, and still pales in comparison. Mercury is the Matt Hardy to Johnny Nitro's Jeff Hardy.

Hopefully Joey Mathews goes to TNA, or Ring of Honor, or something, and proves his worth to the wrestling world. If this were another era in sports entertainment, I'm pretty sure Mathews could be a guy who gets a push in a rival company, ala Steve Austin when he made the move from WCW over to WWE.

It is my bet that it is drug related.

i remember hearing before he broke his nose that he was going to be released soon anyways (in that group that included tatanka, gymini, mamaluke.etc) but then after he broke his nose they were going to have him as a permanent jobber on smackdown.

Mercury got Marty Jennety'd

wwe would never just do something rash without a proper explanation and continuity :shifty:

Shame.

That sucks. Really curious as to what happenned.

That sucks. I liked MNM. :(

Am I the only one who doesn't give a damn that he's gone? I liked MNM, but I like NM more. Nitro as an IC title singles guy entertains me far more than the two of them together. I could see a well-pushed Nitro vs Edge for the WWE or World title as early as WM26. Being half of a tag team has been dragging Nitro back.

Maybe they fired Mercury to bring in Uranus.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:foc:

This sucks. Has it been confirmed by wwe site yet?? BTW did you guys know he was in original ecw for like 3 years until it went bankrupt. He had tag team there and started to use the "snapshot"

Did you even read the first post?

I stand corrected.

there is reports they caught him doing lines off a toliet in one of the bathroom stalls. Apparently, one of the boys found heard him talking to himself.

Ok, you wanna do coke, fine, but when you're doing it off a toilet in a communal-use bathroom, you have a problem.

I wonder what he did for a couple months when his nose was broken. Must have smoked crack.

But seriously, welcome to professional wrestling. Maybe the reason they use to release him is coke, but the real reason is because they don't need him and have no use for him right now.

If doing coke off a toilet was cause for immediate release regardless of who it was, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair among countless others would have been released.

Given I wanted toi see them both firedfrom a cannon...

On the other hand, Mercury would be doing coke after Eddie Guererro died, and be a small enough fish to be sacrificed to the Wellness program.

That's not even pointing out how those favored by WWE are handled, that's just the sheer magnitude of the lack of his possible comparison with Flair and the Half-Coked Kid. Well, combined with the fact that drugs in wrestling are now so big a deal that ESPN decided to run with a story that wrestlers did steroids several years ago.

That was my whole point. That they're bigger stars. Hence they get away with it. And someone useless like Joey Mercury is cut loose.

That was only part of what he said, though.

And that was the part I was adressing. He prefaced it with except.

Except, of course, it was a compound sentence.

My dad could beat up your dad.

Dude, have you ever looked around in the non-wrestling areas? Al Franken is righter than KK.

1. Pretty sure he wasn't adressing the one who was agreeing with him.

2. I don't even know where to begin on the other falsehood in that one...

I don't think anyone was disagreeing with him

As much as I lacked interest in Mercury, I did see some potential in him. He doesn't suck quite as hard as alot of other guys on the roster, and they could have made him into a pretty credible midcarder if he kept up the "ARGH SAVAGE RUIN THE FACE RUIN THE FACE" thing. He just needed to come up with a cooler mask...

Hoping it's a work.

Hyperbole and a very badly botched attempt to make a joke on the use of the word "righter."

No, YOU SUCK!

...Wait. :shifty:

*insert vaguely homoerotic phrase related to me sucking anything of your choosing*

Meh, all I saw was:

I have no attention span and there was something shiny out the window.

Sorry, distracted. Anyways, as I was saying, I think that the real reason WCW went under was a distinct lack of cowbell.

You heard me. My dad would kick your dad's ass! :mad:

And your dad's, too!

I've been kicking my dad's ass since I was 7. You impress me not at all, sir.

He could probably still beat up my dad. By accident.

Pssht. You're just scared because my dad's a Quaker and will STILL kick his ass!

Well, you can smoke Buddha, so is "eat it" a reference to Quaker Oats or something?

I have a hard time envisioning Ghandi in one of those awful Quaker getups.

Did you see his own getup? He wasn't exactly the cutting edge of fashion.

Well he did kind of look like the elf-guy from Harry Potter.

Elf-Guy?

What would even compel you to make such an outrageous comparision :wtf:

What am I missing here?

They both dress in something resembling a sheet and are generally emaciated in appearance?

But still just read post #87 and you'll get it

Uh huh. Am I supposed to start protesting that I'm NOT a nerd? That wouldn't do any good.

Not really, we all post on here, that speaks for its self

Thank you. I was hoping I wouldn't have to make that point.

Yes, as I have established in the G4 thread, wrestling really is for nerds. The website is just icing.

First of all, Ghandi is my House Elf.


Secondly, I'm not a nerd. I'm just gay.


:shifty:



That is better, right?

Only in the sense that beating the holy shit out of a nerd doesn't get you prosecuted under hate crime laws.

I can't rep you, but :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I'd have to agree that Wrestling is essentially a nerdy endevor.
