The too many egos thing could actually have been a boon, not in the sense that ego is good, but in the 98-00 sense when there was a credible main event scene. And as for Batista feuding with Cena, it might work better than you would think. If Batista were given a program he actually cared about he might shake that rust that he's had ever since he got back. And Cena wouldn't have to continue with his Monster of the Month feuds. My reasoning is this: WWE is going to keep giving us Cena and Batista as seperate champions on two shows. If they merged and had them feud for awhile, it would be one less of them to deal with, and they might actually walk away with credibility.

I'm sorry but no credibility can come from a Cena/Batista feud on a merged show. 2 shows a week with them two as the focus? Meh.

Since they've been the Superman champions of the past 2 years, and haven't squared off...yea some credibility can come of it. Not much because I think them and the business are mediocre right now. But it would be a bigger title fued than we've had recently.

Batista would get over as a dominant heel if he were to be the one to end Cena's reign. Wrestling wise, it would be a train wreck lasting all of a collective 10 moves. I'm just saying there are two lame duck champions right now with no real credible challengers, might as well knock off one or make a heel out of him.

Well the WWE will need to cash in off it sooner or later, and it would be better sooner than later. They've made them into their two biggest stars. How big or good of stars is an entire other debate, but they're unquestionably their 2 current golden boys. I personally dislike them both and think a fued between them would be mediocre to watch at best, but the one good thing that could come out of it for me would be to see them pit agaisnt eachother face vs face and see who emerges the bigger star. At least one of them would have to job.

It's not a great fued, but what really is these days. It'd probably be the best fued WWE could offer these days from a business and kayfabe standpoint. The matches would suck ass but they could at least build it to bigger than it really is, like they have with the two of them.

Hence the reason he was released. Vince doesn't want talented workers hogging up the ring time. I swear the dopes in Stamford have everything bass-ackwards.

For a guy that was never used in the last year, his release has certainly attracted a lot of attention here. Gangrel was the goods, his gimmick as cheesy as it was, was enjoyable for me. Especially his Brood music, how could you not mark out for that one? hehe good times.

**Jeritron** · 01-20-2007, 05:32 AM

He was mildly entertaining for all of 5 months, I'll give him that. I wouldn't go as far as to say that he was the goods.

**RottingFreak** · 01-20-2007, 05:56 AM

To each his opinion.

**Jeritron** · 01-20-2007, 07:33 AM

Well Gangrel was cool, but he was a vampire gimmick. What was the best part you say? His entrance music? Yea, okay it was cool. Edge and Christian had the same entrance music for a little while, and those are 2 men who are "the goods", their Brood entrance time period being the least of the factors in me calling them that.

**Crippla** · 01-20-2007, 07:38 AM

I liked Gangrel back in the late 90s but he isn't really as useful now I suppose. They signed him 3 years ago after one televised match against The Undertaker with Vis and released him months later before he ever appeared on TV again. They signed him again last year for the new ECW and now he's been released again. I don't see any use for him now anyway, I think they're trying to push Thorn as a singles wrestler and the original plan was to have a stable of vampire but it doesn't look like that was gonna happen now anyway. I also don't know what kind of shape Gangrel is in since I haven't seen him wrestle in years.

Bill DeMott/Hugh Morrus/General Hugh G. Rection have all three been added to the list of released Superstars.

-From WWE.com:-
DeMott was the head trainer of up-and-coming WWE talent at Deep South Wrestling in Atlanta, one of WWE�s developmental territories. DeMott was a ring veteran who was a Superstar in WCW and WWE. He has held the United States Championship on two occasions, and also is one of the largest Superstars to ever use the Moonsault in his matches. WWE fans who watched WWE Tough Enough will remember DeMott as the no-nonsense trainer who helped to make the show a smash hit. -WWE.com-

These "paragraphs" about all the people they are releasing seem to be a ploy by WWE so as not to burn any bridges. If these Superstars have accomplished so much, A.) why weren't they used recently and B.) why were they released now if they're so great?
