Joey Mercury----Released

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.

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
