Wow, that's worded kind of strangely. IMMEDIATE release? Wonder what happened.

I hate to say it, but I'm actually pleased. Seriously, it seemed like MNM and mercury were holding back any plans they wanted to pursue with Nitro. Now you can go ahead with a push for Nitro and the Foley/Nitro/Melina angle on Raw without having to worry about what to do with Mercury.
I mean, he's alright and I realize some consider him the better of the two, but they just had nothing for him and at the moment he was becoming more of an anchor than an asset. |

But yeah, this wasn't one I was expecting. Going to guess he did something to upset someone.

I guess they finally decided to not keep MNM as a tag team.

They should have at least left him on until after mania and had Melina and Nitro kick him out in kayfabe.

Why didn't they wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors? I'm going to look into this. I will return when I have an answer.

Anyway, wasn't Mercury the one who violated the Wellness policy? Perhaps this is a followup from the recent "Drug" business.
Unlikely, but still. |

He had some potential, but considering him and Nitro have the same look and gimmick, and as Nitro is the superior wrestler, it makes sense to cut him loose.
Nitro needs to improve on the mic but he is fastly becoming great in the ring, plus he has the best female talent in years as his manager. Joey has been the 3rd wheel for some time now. |

Mercury released. Didn't see this one coming. Unless he did fuck up something back stage or something with the "wellness program".
Oh well, good luck in the future. |

This one doesn't surprise me @ all. They wanna push Johnny Nitro as a singles, and Joey Mercury was holding that back. I was actually thinking they would be getting rid of him soon Last edited by AdrianM; 03-26-2007 at 09:20 PM. |

Yeah, this sucks.
I'm hoping this is all a work, and they'll have Mercury show up randomly and attack people, like Matt Hardy circa 2005 done right, or they'll have him join a new WCW brand or something, but that is highly unlikely. He sounds like he fucked up really bad. Joey Mercury had so much fucking skill it wasn't funny. Mercury was the better talker in MNM, the more experience, and the better wrestler. Nitro is improving, but he is still a rookie compared to Mercury, and still pales in comparison. Mercury is the Matt Hardy to Johnny Nitro's Jeff Hardy. Hopefully Joey Mathews goes to TNA, or Ring of Honor, or something, and proves his worth to the wrestling world. If this were another era in sports entertainment, I'm pretty sure Mathews could be a guy who gets a push in a rival company, ala Steve Austin when he made the move from WCW over to WWE. |

It is my bet that it is drug related.

i remember hearing before he broke his nose that he was going to be released soon anyways (in that group that included tatanka, gymini, mamaluke.etc) but then after he broke his nose they were going to have him as a permanent jobber on smackdown.
