I'm kind of shocked about Shelton and even more surprised about Mickie. I mean, she was involved in a major diva's angle for the last few months, crazy.

I'd love to see Mickie in TNA though, she will definitely be able to have some solid bouts there. Just sorry that we won't see her vs. Awesome Kong

Honestly, my biggest surprise here is Funaki. I thought he was pretty well in with the company, a job for life. I know he did some stuff for WWE in Japan.

I'd love to see Mickie in TNA. She'll probably try the music thing for a while before going in, though.

Sorry about Mickie James and Shelton Benjamin.
TPWW's The Gold Standard is gonna be devastated when he reads the news. The rest were to be expected. Though Funaki was "to be expected" for a very long time. Kudos for him for staying around as long as he did. Last edited by Lock Jaw; 04-22-2010 at 06:05 PM. |

Not a big fan of either of the guys, but I think Haas and Benjamin would be a great addition to TNA's tag team roster.

Shelton Benjamin is a much bigger surprise than Mickie James. TNA would be crazy not to snap him up.

Funaki is probably gonna go to TNA and instantly get the X-Division title.

From Figure Four Weekly, on Mickie:
James was released because she more than once on the European tour arrived late for the bus, holding up travel. That was considered the straw that broke the camel's back dating back to her being disciplined by being sent to Smackdown. |

Yeah definitely a good thing for Mickie and Shelton. Like half of TNA's gimmick matches seem like they were designed with Shelton in mind.

WWE Releases Not Suprising but Benjamin & James?? REALLY??
Of all the firings, I am surprised at Mickie James and Shelton Benjamin being gone... Especially Shelton... Mickie does not have weight issues for God's sake... And I am sure she is pissed... Benjamin though? Also consistently shitty on the mic... One of the best in ring performers of the last 10 years... Guess they thought they had done the best they could... TNA here they come... ![]() |

I guess they decided they have a new Shelton Benjamin in Kofi Kingston, so why bother keeping the old outdated model?

I'm betting Primo's getting let go if this is a big Spring Cleaning (this is happening just before the first quarter's numbers are coming out, as it usually does). I'd say Carlito too but he's on NXT.
