WWE lowballs Benoit?
Chris Benoit: We have gotten emails today asking us about rumors that Chris Benoit's contract will expire this month and that he has been lowballed by WWE (much the same way Christian and the Dudleys were). All I can tell you is we have heard the rumors too. Beyond that, we don't know any more than that but as is the case with Christian, if Benoit is free and clear, TNA has an offer ready and waiting to go. While it seems insane that WWE could drop Jim Ross, Christian and Chris Benoit into TNA's laps at the most advantageous of times, it appears that is exactly the case right now.

If more guys are fired and all of them show up on TNA, I'm calling shenanigans.
Seriously, Vince can be an idiot, and he listens to Hunter a bit too much, but releasing three of his most loved and/or over talents? Vince is either in cahoots with TNA or he's trying to run Pro Wrestling into the ground. He's the one who made it, and by God, he's the one that will kill it. |

It's just a rumor as of now but this could be interesting to see how this develops, if at all.

I think all of these articles about underrated talents that have been or possibly COULD be released are just bait for Lesnar.
He's going to get all of the people on the internet into one spot... After that, you know. Here Comes The Pain and all.

Doubt they could use "The Crippler" or "The Rabid Wolverine" though.

Do they have "The Crippler" trademarked? It seems to me that they've been shying away from calling him that over the years.

Wow. He'd make a very legit NWA champ. Heck, the most legit champ they've had in years basically.
...If this is true. Talk about fucking SD! again if it is though.

I thought that as welll. I don't recall him ever being really fired from the company. Anyways, Benoit in TNA I think could be really good. He's going nowhere in WWE, unfortunately, and TNA would have to be retarded to not utilize him to his fullest potential. |

Jim Ross is under contract until sometime in 2006, I think. If JR really loves the wrestling business, and loves to call matches, I really think he'll stiff the WWE for TNA. Mike Tenay & JR could cover each area required by commentary so well.
The WWE won't let him go, though, nor will they Benoit. If I was Chris Benoit, I'd demand a whole heap of crazy shit. Other options are opening up, and Chris Benoit is a big enoug mainstream star to make an impact (pun intended, I guess) if he showed up in TNA or ROH. ...Now if only Chris Jericho hadn't had signed with WWE, again. |

Yeah, Jim's just going to quit the WWE after ten or eleven years this stint.
Jesus. It's amazing how fast rumors start swirling in the wrestling industry. |

Just because he's been with the company for 10 years doesn't mean he can't or shouldn't jump ships. The WWE is shitting on a lot of their loyal employees, including the Hebners. |

Brian? Dave? Earl, maybe, but Dave was never proven to be part of it and Brian had absolutely nothing to do with it other than the fact that he's a Hebner.

He should have thought of that before he became a Hebner.

Jim Ross isn't fired, so him being dumped into TNA's lap is a pretty stupid thing to say by Scherer, seeing as he still an executive.
