Actually, if I recall, someone said that Hardcore Holly could be next on the chopping block as they don't see anymore use in him.

Hardcore Holly got in some trouble a while ago - which explains the lack of follow up with he and Rhodes - so there's a very good chance he's going to be gone by next weekend I'd say.

But you won't watch Stevie, because he's see-through*.

Stevie (or Steven) Richards was great in one role. The leader of the RTC. Possibly the highlight run of his career.

God damn other fucker! The WWE needs more tag teams, not less! Let them work, let them do their thing. They're a solid team, and not just fodder for Snitsky, Umaga, and Cryme Tyme.

Gee, for a guy that is apparently a wrestling genius/god, Vince McMahon sure does hire a lot of people that he knows fuck all what to do with.

I'm sure part of this is how Vince blew 3 million dollars on a contest that didn't boost ratings.

You mean the only roll they gave him? Yes, he was fantastic in that. And he'd have been great in any subsequent rolls, had they been, you know, given to him.

I don't expect to see Venis go, more if anything moved somewhere to help with development in some way. I remember reading somewhere that he had really good relations back stage and is expected to have a job for life and has been moving to to a Road agent thing. Fuck dunno where I read that. - Hmmm, might have been Boone, so as I don't remember, yeah he could go.

I don't even remember which ref Wes Adams was.
The Highlanders getting released doesn't surprise me, but now the only tag teams on Raw are Cryme Tyme and Simply Priceless. I'm guessing another team will be in there soon enough. Cherry going isn't all that surprising because she's barely been on since the draft. I liked her, and she seemed to be doing alright in the ring, but no big loss. Colin Delaney is only surprising because they had just turned him (and they had signed him to a 3-year contract). I figure if they wanted him off TV they'd use the beatdown Tommy gave him as an excuse to get him in FCW to develop a new character or something. Stevie is easily the most surprising. It's weird because early in 2007, I felt that 4 jobbers had legit job security: Scotty 2 Hotty, Val Venis, Stevie Richards, and Funaki. All 4 of those guys seemed perfectly content jobbing and they'd all been around since the Attitude era...possibly office jobs or road agent jobs available to them after their wrestling career was over. Now two of them are gone. |

I hope Venis is fired. I've had a "fired pool" going with a bunch of people since 2005. Everyone picked ten wrestlers to be fired. Whoever has all ten of their picks released wins a prize of epic proportions. It is now 2008 and no one has won yet. People have been hired and fired who weren't on the original list to choose from... some people have been fired and then rehired... Shannon Moore has been fired twice...
All that remains on my list is Val Venis, Lance (then known as Garrison) Cade, and Hurricane (as he was then known). |

Although he was 'enhancement talent' he did a really good putting people over strong (see CM Punk). |

None of these releases are especially surprising. Val Venis still has his uber WWE loyalty going for him. Richards was liked a lot by Vince McMahon, but he also came up through other promotions, so him getting the chop doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I can't think of what I'd actually like to see Stevie do, but come to think about it, I'd love to see TNA give Michael Manna and Mike Bucci a run as a tag team.
The Highlanders were really sort of expected. They were a damn solid tag team, but no one was taking them seriously. I'd actually like to see TNA give them some sort of "we're not really related gimmick," and have both sort of do their own thing, whilst keeping them a tag team. TNA really needs some tandems, especially if they plan to break up The LAX and/or Motor City Machine Guns. Then you've got Team 3D potentially not being re-signed. I mean legit teams, and not just wrestlers stuck together. Cherry was really hot, and a pretty likable character. She was also decent in the ring. She wasn't WWE-style, though. I'd like to see Domino and her get a crack in TNA as a couple. Didn't Domino have a new character that was "too adult" for the WWE that Russo would probably love? Didn't know much about Wes Adams. At least he got a crack on the big stage, I guess. And then there's his appearance on The Dirt Sheet. Colin Delaney getting the chop doesn't really surprise me. He was always sort of there as a gimmick. If the WWE wants someone to get their ass kicked, they've got Funaki, and probably Jimmy Wang Yang now. Funaki is also good friends with Stone Cold Steve Austin and worships Shawn Michaels, apparently, and has been damn solid for the WWE. I can understand why they've kept him. Hardcore Holly and Charlie Haas are two of my guesses for who could get the chop next. |
