Yes, he probably will. Venis is one of those guys who never complains, is well-liked, and has a wealth of knowledge to spread onto the younger guys. I would consider him right up there with the best sellers in the company, which makes him very good at putting guys over. He also seems to be their go-to guy when they need someone to ring announce if the scheduled ring announcer misses a show, or something. He'll become a producer, and possibly keep an on-screen broadcasting role when he moves away from the ring.

Balls Mahoney was always on my "getting cut soon" list, so it doesn't surprise me he went. I liked him hanging around, though, because he was over as anyone else on ECW. They haven't used him in months, though. He is also not one of the guys who would be a major asset to TNA or ROH. A good cut.

Here are some other guys I can see the WWE releasing in future weeks:

The Highlanders: TNA is pretty much guaranteed to give them jobs for fucking over Robbie. They've never really been used much by the WWE, either. They're also not that over.

Nunzio: He's apparently one of Vince's favourites, but with Funaki doing jobs on the SmackDown!/ECW side of things, does the WWE really need Little Guido?

Charlie Haas: They always seem to release one wrestler who could actually be something.

Torrie Wilson: Come on, they're not going to keep her employed until she's as old as Mae Young, are they?

Snitsky: The WWE keeps trying to get him over, to no avail...I don't think Vince can even like him that much.

The Boogeyman: He is so injury prone, and although he has improved, I can't help but maybe think him recently getting his teeth back might be paid for by the WWE, just so they don't feel bad about firing him.

Jonathan Coachman: He failed pretty bad as the SmackDown! color commentator, and I can't see a spot for him in the WWE's current scheme of things.

Mike Adamle: OK, all Mike the Adamle humor aside, the man is pretty awful as commentator, and when ECW begins to become even more of a joke because of it, I can see the WWE just cutting their losses with him.

Lena Yada: She isn't even that hot. No one even cares about her. Torrie Wilson does nothing for me (since I've seen her without make-up), but at least she really connects with the idiot fans. Yada can't even do that. It's time to hire new sluts, anyway.

Stevie Richards: Another of Vince's favorites. Do not ask me why I can see this. Another one of those releases where you hear about people backstage being surprised by it. Richards recently got a push, and it's gone almost nowhere. Richards could be used to help guys in FCW, so maybe he will just step away from the ring, or something? Al Snow was well-liked, and found himself released instead of training, though. The same goes for Dave Taylor.

Jack Korpela: I like him a lot, and most will have no clue who he is, but Korpela just strikes me as an announcer hired and fired. He's been working so hard to be the best color man he can be when called in to do Heat, but the WWE just hired Timmy Baltimore. I can see Korpela looking for work elsewhere.
