Damn! Was fucking loving Smackdowns main event scene at the moment, and Umaga has been pulling out some really good stuff lately.

And just when he starts talking.
First Kennedy, then Batista doesn't get future endeavored for being injured again, then Umaga gets future endeavored... Something really doesn't seem right about everything...

Shit, they really are trying to cut back costs lately. Kennedy and Umaga's releases were both surprising...have to figure they were both making decent money.

You saying Batista should be fired?
Because if you are then you are a moron. And if you aren't, well then you aren't a moron ![]() Umaga is talent though. I don't know why they got rid of him. |

WWE apparently has zero desire to create longterm stars for the future. Even the guys they get over short term in high card spots get the chop a couple of years later on a McMahon whim.
Umaga (and Kennedy) may not have been vital to the WWE of today, but may well have turned out vital to the WWE of tomorrow. |

Hmmm... I can see them picking up Kennedy, but not so sure bout Umaga... I reckon he's Japan bound.

Hey, idk about you guys, but my friends were loving Umanga as of late. If TNA doesn't consider picking up a hot wrestler like Umanga then they must be idio...oh yeaaaaa....

Umaga was great. Way better than any of the other evil foreign monsters like Kozlov and Khali.

I also find it a bit interesting that wwe.com announced this under their "WWE NEWS" section while they announced Kennedy under their "INDUSTRY NEWS" section

I also find this a bit shocking on the tails of a PPV where I've heard some people give him better reviews then his partner CM Punk. I mean I could see Kennedy (guys been a bit of a waste in the last year or more), but this is a shocker. I was expexting Candice to be on her way out before Umanga.

Of the two, Khali has the following in India which has apparently added to WWE's popularity over there... but Koslov by far has the most potential to actually go somewhere in future. He's no spring chicken, but he's still learning, and he has a good heel presence... he looks like a scary badass. If I had to choose, I'd drop Khali and employ Dutt as the 'token Indian' to maintain the popularity. |

This is very surprising. I'm going to assume there were some things backstage that we didn't know about.
WWE needs to release the untalented divas. No one cares about them. |

If TNA picked up Trevor Murdoch, surely they'd be interested in Umaga. Also, while Sonjay Dutt is better than Khali by leaps and bounds, isn't Khali some kind of national hero in India? He's a much bigger asset to the company as far as PR is concerned.

Yeah...as shit as Khali might be in the ring, I'd be sad if he got released cause he donates a large portion of his income to India. Great guy.

It also depends how much Khali is earning. I think that in the recession, nobody is safe from the chop, no matter how unexpected it may seem, unless they are bonafide main eventers or can't miss future prospects who haven't totally flopped. Shame to say it, but I reckon Kane will be under consideration too if they are spring cleaning. Also, Mark Henry (and Tony Atlas). Basically, all tenured guys who have clearly peaked and can't really headline anymore (or never really did), but probably earn healthy wages due to their longevity. As for Umaga, I think TNA may be interested but I reckon Umaga will choose to go to Japan, not be forced there out of lack of opportunities in the US. |

Hmmm, I think Regal could fall into the "tenured + peaked = off you endeavour" category.

Regal is tight with Trips. I think he stands a good shot at getting an agent job when he's done. Then again, I didn't see Kennedy or Umaga coming
