You'll be fired, you'll see! *More WWE Releases*
 
http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/WWErelease0815

Stevie Richards, The Highlanders, Cherry, Colin Delaney, and referee Wes Adams are gone.

Xero 08-15-2008 01:27 PM

Wow, I thought for sure Stevie was pretty well protected.

KingofOldSchool 08-15-2008 01:29 PM

And I guess Cherry has joined Domino in the unemployment line.

Londoner 08-15-2008 01:29 PM

Didn't expect Richards to go.

KingofOldSchool 08-15-2008 01:29 PM

And Colin Delaney. :rofl:

Xero 08-15-2008 01:33 PM

So I guess the Diva's search is just around the corner?

Probably, that's why they released Colin Delaney. They don't want one of their male wrestlers to weigh less than the Deever Search whores.

BigDaddyCool 08-15-2008 01:37 PM

Seriously, Colin Delaney? He was just starting to pick up steam. Wow. I'm not suprised by the Highlanders, they were treated like jobbers, plus the whole TNA thing. Anyhow, WWE is doing a lot of late summer cleaning.

Anybody Thrilla 08-15-2008 01:38 PM

I'm not upset by any of those releases, but I wish them all the best of luck in their future endeavors.

That pasty white jobber? Yeah, good riddance.

Surprisingly, Funaki still has a job.

Londoner 08-15-2008 01:40 PM

Delaney is a future TNA world champ.

TerranRich 08-15-2008 01:41 PM

Cherry? :'(

BigDaddyCool 08-15-2008 01:42 PM

I'm only suprised about Colin because his entire gimmick all summer long has been trying to get a WWE contract. Now that he has one, they up and realease him. I suppose he could still show up and beg for his job back...

Afterlife 08-15-2008 01:42 PM

I'm surprised by all of those. Less so the Highlanders, but Stevie? What the hell?

They were teasing him. They had him get his ass kicked to get a contract, then when he does...they turn around and fire him. :lol:

BigDaddyCool 08-15-2008 01:44 PM

At least Boogen is still gainfully employeed...I mean independently contracted :shifty:

Paranoid Rattlesnake 08-15-2008 01:45 PM

Why are so many getting fired?

Afterlife 08-15-2008 01:45 PM

They do this once every couple years.

They are sending a clear message. I mean Brenden Walker is on TV for a week, then fired. Colin gets his ass kicked for month on end for "free" only to be released after he gets his first check.

Cutting dead wieght, stream lining the company. Honestly Stevie, the Highlanders, and Colin weren't going to amount to anything. Especially Stevie, he is just a jobber as of the past 5 years.

BigDaddyCool 08-15-2008 01:48 PM

Bastard koos, you beat me to it. Did you have a happy birthday?

Afterlife 08-15-2008 01:50 PM

I love it when ppl say "he's just a jobber" in reference to Stevie. The crowds all eat him up and everybody loves him except the company. You know, the company that snubbed him every time he started gaining any momentum. But, sure, it's his fault he "wasn't going anywhere".

But unlike Not Roddy Piper 1 and 2 and pre-teen boy who wondered into a wrestling ring, Stevie was at least somewhat over.

It's okay my new HDTV is coming some time today. :y:

Juan 08-15-2008 01:53 PM

Stevie Richards :(

thedamndest 08-15-2008 01:54 PM

Hardcore Holly, Val Venis, Super Crazy and Chuck Palumbo could go too. They will never amount to anything in the WWE.

thedamndest 08-15-2008 01:55 PM

Oh, and ECW should be canceled and merged with Raw and Smackdown rosters, but now we're just dreaming.

I agree on all counts, plus Hardcore is old now and had plenty of shots. Palumbo has had plenty too.

Shadow 08-15-2008 01:59 PM

Man.....I'm gonna miss the invisible Stevie Richards jokes.

Blitz 08-15-2008 02:10 PM

Nooooooooooo Stevie :'( and Cherry was hot as hell. Sucks.


Sad about Colin too, but at least he can return to Chikara now :y:

thedamndest 08-15-2008 02:24 PM

Deuce hasn't been fired yet. I wonder if they're having meetings about whether to call him Jimmy Snuka, jr. or Deuce Snuka.

Afterlife 08-15-2008 02:31 PM

He's not really "Jimmy Snuka, Jr" tho, is he?

#BROKEN Hasney 08-15-2008 02:38 PM

And Paul Wight was not the son of Andre The Giant. At least there is a connection in this case.

Loose Cannon 08-15-2008 02:41 PM

there's about 30 more guys I would like to add to this list

ClockShot 08-15-2008 03:48 PM

It was only a matter of time for The Highlanders. And here some of us in the RAW thread on monday thought were shocked to see they still working.

Never seen Cherry on tv since the draft. I guess that was a sign.

Could care less for Colin Delaney.

Stephen Richards. Yeah, I thought he had some friends in the company and thought he would be taken care of.

Oh well, how many weeks before they annouce the Diva Search of whatever plan they got cooked up?

screech 08-15-2008 04:01 PM

Sucks about Stevie, I loved watching him. He has a real passion for the business that comes out every time he's in the ring.

Highlanders getting cut doesn't surprise me at all, they really didn't do anything.

Colin's heel turn didn't go anywhere, but he was at least featured on the show so in that aspect it was surprising. It's not like he would have made it big.

Cherry was actually being used on SD so that's kind of a shock. I was interested to see how she did, but I guess I won't see it.

Of the guys thedamndest said, Super Crazy should definitely go first, with Hardcore Holly following closely behind. As for Val Venis, I've always been a fan so I'd be sad to see him go. I don't care for Chuck Palumbo one way or the other. I like watching him wrestle, but his characters always suck. I wouldn't miss him that much.

At least Funaki is still there and everyone loves Funaki.
