I didn't see his name on the list, but please tell me WWE got rid of that piece of crap Chris Masters. God, I hat him. I can't believe they got rid of the Dudley's. That pisses me off. Here pretty soon WWE is gonna screw up bad and go under. LONG LIVE TNA!!!! lol. Has anyone heard anything new on the TNA/Spike TV deal?

On a side note. Does anyone remember this incident from the final days of the WCW (when the company was breathing it's final breath)? Try not to cringe or shriek too hard:

Yeah, I know. He supposedly recovered from the incident (not sure how well recovered though) & has been attending indie shows as of late.

It doesn't matter to me if Brock Lesner comes back or not. I'm pretty much over the whole Wrestlemania thing but what is upsetting is that the WWE is willing to fire other superstars to free up payroll for Lesner's multi-million dollar contract. Especially after he walked out on them and sued them. Another thing is the Women's division. Now I don't mind seeing eye candy every now and then but when they actually had women wrestlers they had some pretty good matches. Bring back Jazz, Gail Kim, Molly Holly etc.... I mean come on did anyone watch Trish's match at Wrestlemania this year? Not to knock Christy, she actually seems like she wants to learn. The WWE does not need a diva search. They have enough eye candy. I am however pulling for Ashley because she's seems like she could be a future opponent for Trish, Lita, and Victoria. The other diva hopefuls just don't belong there.

Weeeelll, i'm done with WWE for a while. I think I'm going to just start collecting japanese and lucha stuff. I don't even want to buy the ECW DVD now; I dont want to support WWE financially one bit. I'll be down with TNA until that starts to get classless like WWE. I wish wrestlers would take a stand for some of this shit. WWE is pure bottom feeding trash. I'm through with that shit.

Well, I must say that I'm really some what surprised with the latest list of releases from the WWE:

Matt Morgan: He sucked monkey's balls any way, the whole studdering gimmik is lame!

Charlie Haas: Could have been a potential player if given a shot; liked him better than Benjamin, should've fired him and kept Haas

Jackie Gayda: Good riddance here!

Marty Jannetty: Fuck, they never gave him a chance to reteam with Micheals! Guess maybe that's why the WWE is making Shawn a heal!

Dawn Marie: Again, good riddance!

Mark Jindrak: Blah!

Maven: Blah! Always felt he sucked!

Shannon Moore: See Maven!

James Yun (Akio): See Maven!

David Heath (Gangrel): Always liked Gangrel, this move sucks!

Billy Kidman: Blah!

Spike Dudley/ Dudley Boys: Get rid of the single biggest tag team the WWE has seen since LOD and they can fucking justify it?? furious confused wow

Kevin Fertig: Blah! The only thing I hate about his firing, is not getting to see Taker kill him!

Joy Giovanni: See Dawn Marie

Jim Cornette: He slapped a fucking OVW student, that deserves a firing! But who's going to run OVW now?


As for Lesner's potential return, I've been wanting him to come back for awhile, cause like so many others, I was hoping at the time he could end JBL's title reign, but still, if he returns, there could be a potential match with Batista and that is one I'd like to see!

Is anybody else getting pissed off at Vince MacRusso and his really shity angles where he blurs 'work' and 'shoot'? Why not just come right out and tell everybody that wrestling is 'fake'?

On top of that, a shady Arab terrorist-ish guy? Rowdey 'Gringo' hating Mexican's with the intelligence of 13 year old's? Wow, nice writing! That's the brilliance of creative team, I guess.

This shit feels exactly like WCW did during it's demise. Not saying that's going happen, but just saying.

We're just focusing on the guys to get released in the last few days, not 2 months ago. Besides, I don't care about his release any way!

Exactlly! Now, you might ask yourself how can I justify that? Well, let me tell you, what have either of those two idiots done in the short time they were in WWE to make me care about them?? They were nothing but glorified jobbers, yes you can say that Gangrel didn't do anything in his last WWE run except try to take out Taker for JBL, but Gangrel did more in his first initial run in WWE to make me like him more that Moore and Akio ever did given they're combined time in both WWE and WCW. That is why I again say that the firing of them is no big loss to the WWE!! Neither was Ganrel's really, but if given a chance he could have done something!

I'll say this as opening, I hate Orton, don't understand how you can like that annoying little rat; I agree Rock should come back; Lesner was great and should return; The Guerrero/Mysterio feud is great; MNM may be gay, but they're at least the better of the two tag teams; and yeah, there's been too many releases of the last little while, most shocking, have got to be the Dudleys!

Yeah, that's a great list of games, I like all of those and have beaten most of them myself. BTW, welcome to MK Online, feel free to visit and post in one of the best threads ever, this one (I just love to toot my own horn!!), for some of the best discussions and often heated exchanges!

Shelton and Charlie were a great tag team, but as singles go, Shelton makes Charlie his bitch. Shelton is perhaps the brightest star on the horizon they have. A little more charisma on the mic, just a litttttttttttttle more, and this kid is Heavyweight material. However, since he's not 6'9" 400lbs, nor is he fucking the bosses daughter, this is unlikely.

I love Gangrel as well, and I don't care for Kidman, but I gotta say Kidman is the better wrestler of the two, by far. Either way it's a shame some of these guys get dumped for Lesnar's extreme salary. These guys don't make too much money, none of them do, except maybe Stone Cold and HHH, so I never understood why they paid Lesnar so much. The Rock made like $500,000 a year, at the time top paid, and had to pay his own travel expenses, so how much was Lesnar making if he bought his own private jet?

Everyone blaming the 'diva's' for the pay cuts, but we don't know how many they are going to sign this time. They may only sign one, so at this point I think it's really unfair to say this is all to free up money for them. You might be right, but not yet, and I think it's no coincidence the highest paid wrestler in years is in talks to return when these cuts take place.

Also, I think Lesnar is already signed, but that's just my opinion.

Maybe you don't, but there are those that DO. Just saying.winkOn a side note, the releases have had a major impact on the company, seeing as to how their weekend shows (Heat & Velocity) are now showing just back to back events from both the Raw & SM! shows.

What makes you think Shannon and Akio wouldn't make an impact of given a chance? And I'll tell you what the two cruiserweights did to make me like them that Gangrel couldn't do: They had AWESOME matches. Everytime Akio's entrance theme started to play on Velocity, I knew I was going to watch a kickass match.
If given the chance, Gangrel could've done something. I don't see what he could've done in terms of getting to fans, because all he has is a well-liked gimmick. But If Akio was put into a decent feud with Paul London, having matches on Smackdown! every week, you'd see if the fans didn't care. IMO, Akio is WAY bigger an asset to any wrestling company than Gangrel ever will be.
