Smackdown vs Raw 08 is gonna seem fucked up.

KingofOldSchool 09-11-2007 06:44 PM

NOT ON 9/11!!!!!

Mercury Bullet 09-11-2007 06:46 PM

Two months ago I wouldn't have been surprised, but he has actually been used on Raw a fair amount lately.

BigDaddyCool 09-11-2007 06:46 PM

You know if this was right before the draft, I wouldn't have cared. But now I'm just confused. I'm as confused by this as his push he was getting. Ah well.

Stickman 09-11-2007 06:47 PM

They could have just kept him on ECW as a jobber in hardcore matches, but no, they had to move him to Raw.

Fucker, you beat me too it.

Loose Cannon 09-11-2007 06:48 PM

never a fan of his.

KingofOldSchool 09-11-2007 06:49 PM

It must've been something that was pretty sudden or they would've jobbed him to Santino last night.

BigDaddyCool 09-11-2007 06:50 PM

Yet Booker T and Ric Flair haven't been released and they wanted too. Odder still.

Mercury Bullet 09-11-2007 06:50 PM

He probably told a writer that The 'Swog as Vince's son was stupid idea.

Flair > Booker > Sandman

Mercury Bullet 09-11-2007 06:52 PM

Same with Cryme Tyme, I mean, they were hardly ever on TV for quite a while. Then, they get on Raw and get significant air time for 4 weeks or so, and bam. Gone.

Loose Cannon 09-11-2007 06:52 PM

yea, I agree Koos. I was thinking the same thing about something happening between last night and today

Yeah, but they wanted to leave, I'm not saying Sandman is better, nor will I ever.

And getting over. But they fucked around when they shouldn't have.

Well what I meant is that they probably feel like Flair and Book are too important to just let go like that.

Mercury Bullet 09-11-2007 06:56 PM

(Somewhere in a board room inside WWE Headquarters...)

WWE Agent: Well, Booker, Mr. Flair, thank you both for coming in today. I wanted to talk to you a little about your, eh, requests to be let go by the company. Our thinking, is that you both really just need to see some other people released right now. So this is what we did, we went ahead and got rid of the "Sandman" for you. How do you feel about this? Are we any closer to reaching a resolution?

(Booker and Flair look at each other and shake their heads.)

I'm assuming Sandman did something to the same effect that we just aren't aware of yet. I'm sure Boone will have some crack reporting on it though.

Jura 09-11-2007 07:11 PM

Yay.

St. Jimmy 09-11-2007 07:12 PM

I'm seeing Pacman Jones getting caned in the face, in the near future.

RGWhat316 09-11-2007 07:30 PM

Well this sucks, I was a fan of his, even if he wasn't one of the better wrestlers around. I figured he wouldn't be active right now anyways since it looks as if he had gotten injured last night. But I don't think they would release someone due to injury, but with these rash of firings, I probably wouldn't be surprised.

Not bad reasoning, but I wouldn't put it past the WWE to release a guy just because he popped into their heads and wasn't Randy Orton.

thedamndest 09-11-2007 07:45 PM

At the end of Raw last night, the Sandman was one of the last three people in the ring with Vince, which must have caused Vince to realize he actually still employed the Sandman. The end.

Xero 09-11-2007 08:01 PM

Exit Sandman.

:(

I know, I'm so clever.

#1-norm-fan 09-11-2007 08:02 PM

It was just about a month ago when they teased Sandman winning a battle royal featuring nearly every Raw superstar.

Crazy.

Anybody Thrilla 09-11-2007 08:10 PM

I do find this release odd, but color me unphased. He has looked terrible during his whole WWE tenure. His matches were uncomfortable watch, and he was tarnishing whatever 'legacy' he had. I guess I too wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors, but I'm just happy I won't have to suffer through watching whatever endeavors those may be.

you know, that's pretty funny.

Anybody Thrilla 09-11-2007 09:16 PM

A simple ":lol:" would have cut it.

YOUR Hero 09-11-2007 09:36 PM

I decided to go the extra kilometer.

FourFifty 09-11-2007 10:31 PM

This is the most tragic 9/11 in 7 years!

FourFifty 09-11-2007 10:31 PM

......and with that, FourFifty has sealed his place in Hell, also known as New Jersey.

FourFifty 09-11-2007 10:42 PM

I don't know, but being a SoCal native I believe that New Jersey is hell.

I've never been to NJ, but if I did, I'd have to go to the Quik Stop to see the Clerk's sights.

Blue Demon 09-11-2007 11:13 PM

I think he's better off.

Anybody Thrilla 09-11-2007 11:13 PM

FakeRazor lives in New Jersey and he seems to have a pretty good time.

Jordan 09-11-2007 11:28 PM

I am ok with this to an extent. The Sandman has nothing to offer WWE really... but at the same time he is a character that is over as hell... I am kinda pissed with this personally but I can see why they did this.
