WWE Expected To Release Several Wrestlers

Breaking News: WWE Expected To Release Several Wrestlers

"Source: PWTorch.com Audio

Reports from backstage indicate that WWE management will be cutting several members from the talent roster in the coming weeks. Although no names are available, wrestlers are said to be on alert for a potential release.

While some past release threats did not materialize, the belief is that WWE will definitely be following through with releases in the coming weeks.

The upcoming move to USA is undoubtedly the driving force in the decision to make cuts. With WWE set to gross less from USA than Spike TV on RAW, and the loss of two weekend shows, the need for budget limitations is imminent."

Predictions anyone?

Some of those shitty divas from Smackdown
Many of the guys from heat, which I am unsure of because I don't watch it

In a backstage meeting held at last night’s RAW/SmackDown! Supershow, management informed the talent that there would be several superstars released from their contracts within the next month. There was nobody individually singled out during the meeting, but it is expected that there will be 5-10 cuts made.

There are several reasons behind the upcoming layoffs. When WWE jumps from SpikeTV to the USA Network in October, they will be losing HeAT and Experience, with Velocity being the only regularly scheduled weekend programming. Additionally, with the domestic house show business in a slump and the recent acquisitions of Juventud, Psicosis, Super Crazy and CM Punk, they simply can’t have as many superstars with downside guarantees on their payroll.

C'mon, Hardcore Holly.

Marcyo 06-29-2005 12:27 AM

Although that is sad, we can kiss Akio goodbye.

Zen v.W.o. 06-29-2005 12:32 AM

They seem to do this whenever they have diva searches. Making roster cuts to sign all the damn divas? God I hope not. Seemed that way last year.

Hired Hitman 06-29-2005 12:38 AM

I like Akio. *bows with fist in palm*

Innovator 06-29-2005 01:02 AM

Bye Val

Batsu 06-29-2005 01:12 AM

The cuts will be sure to piss us off, for sure.

What's so different about USA and Spike TV? Velocity and Heat are going bye-bye?

M. Banana 06-29-2005 01:12 AM

Fuckin' hell....

Jaded-Dragon 06-29-2005 01:24 AM

Yes... it is around this time we all ask ourselves this question, "You need to make talent cuts because business is down, yet you are spending 250k on another silicon filled waste of space?"

Ruien 06-29-2005 01:24 AM

I swear they better not let Maven go.

Sorry, but I don't see him staying where he is. :(

Scootie Stankers 06-29-2005 01:32 AM

they are so retarded

they shouldnt make cuts. they should take Velocity and Heat, combine the two hours together and start up ECW on saturday nights. I would totally watch it. Have the ECW guys go at it but then they should incorporate the soon to be cut wrestlers into the shows too

KayfabeMan 06-29-2005 01:34 AM

Good move, take guys off the road who have children to feed.

Replace them with single women who have the minds of children.

Children could do a better job of running the WWE.

Therefore the Diva Search is a good idea. :shifty:

for some reason I think I'm going to be saying bye bye to Charlie Haas :'(

Hired Hitman 06-29-2005 02:01 AM

Maven will be good, look how far he has came, in the next 5 years he will be atleast midcard with a title.

What Would Kevin Do? 06-29-2005 03:16 AM

Haas will be safe, as will Akio. ( Haas seems to be in good with Holly, and was teaming with him recently, so I doubt it'll be him.) And WHy would they release Akio when they're obviously trying to build the cruiser division up.

There we go. I need Joy. :D


But yeah... they need spots for the new Divas, so they've gotta let people go of course.

That's why they HIRED the Godfather on Sunday (unless that was a one time only thing). http://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/meh.gif

Mister Sinister 06-29-2005 04:37 AM

Come On, Release The Masterpiece!

Maybe you're right, She does have a nice butt.

Shaggy 06-29-2005 09:27 AM

That would be funny as hell is they release The Masterpiece before someone breaks the Masterlock

SuperSlim 06-29-2005 11:09 AM

Masterpiece can never be let go. He finally had a watchable segment Monday. Maybe next MOnday it can continue

RottingFreak 06-29-2005 11:25 AM

The cruiserweight division is looking good. I hope to god they don't release any of the talent...

Evil Vito 06-29-2005 11:44 AM

<font color=goldenrod>For some reason I can see JBL begging Vince to release Stevie/Simon Dean just to piss off Blue Meanie.</font> :(

Anybody Thrilla 06-29-2005 11:48 AM

I really don't want to see Heat go. This is super shitty.

Anybody Thrilla 06-29-2005 11:48 AM

Hey, maybe they can alternate Velocity between Raw and Smackdown stars from week to week?

KingofOldSchool 06-29-2005 11:59 AM

My predictions to be released.

Funaki
Steven RIchards
Billy Kidman

Going to be more divas than wrestlers soon and I still don't know any of their names.

PorkSoda 06-29-2005 01:17 PM

Funny how the WWE is going to probably release Val, Moore, Akio, and other wrestlers while they keep the diva search going on.

Actually, maybe the current divas in the diva search are the ones to go. Vince might just realize that this whole diva search thing is pure BS and announce on Raw that they're all FIIIIIIRRRRRREEEEDDDDD.

Just John 06-29-2005 02:10 PM

Kidman - I really dont want him to go,.... but

And for some really bad gut feeling I think Jericho will, which I would die if he was.



oh and Maven

NoRoolz 06-29-2005 02:45 PM

Akio :(:(
Shannon Moore
Mark Jindrak
Scotty 2 Hotty
Val Venis :(:(
Steven Richards :(:(
Simon Dean :(:(.

They're my predictions, I really hope the majority of them DON'T go. It's stupid releasing the heat and velocity guys, because then if they're released - who gets demoted to Velocity and Heat?
