It took a lot for him to give up on them.

Not that I care about Test, but releasing someone while they are out with a work related injury is kinda low. Everyone makes fun of Bischoff for doing the same thing to Austin in WCW.

While that is true, I recall reading a while ago that Test was expected to be out of action long after his contract with WWe expired. Since, barring a medical miracle, he wasn't going to be available for a while, the company probably just decided to drop the dead weight. Shitty thing to do? Perhaps... but it's not like there's a shortage of shitty things going on in wrestling.

No Union....

I wonder why no one has seriously never tried to organize...Didn't Ventura try to? And then Vince found out and fired him?

Nidia's release, I can understand. Apparently she's been rubbing people the wrong way, especially after the boob job, and the E has been on her case about losing weight.

Gail's release I am absolutely shocked at.

I feel a bit bad that Albert is going. Whatever else could be said, I always thought he was really trying out there to perform and give to the match and the crowd. He had some really good moments as a heel. I considered him to be a more current version of the One Man Gang....and maybe that's why I liked him.

Billy Gunn is a wrestler that seemed to be one with a good deal of in-ring ability and just lacked a real ability to connect with the crowd, save as part of the New Age Outlaws.

Gail Kim is a surprise...given her skills since she recovered from initial jitters. Nidia I liked since TE and it seemed she was learning and trying to improve in the ring.

Now I'm starving

I'm about to turn it up a notch!

Se7en
11-03-2004, 08:48 PM
So Gail Kim, Nidia and Chuck Palumbo are gone.

Palumbo's no big loss - at this point, he was just another low-card JTTS.

I'm not that bothered by Nidia, either......never really saw much in her. What DOES bother me about her firing, however, is that it was most certainly done to make room for some of those stupid Diva Search twats.

Gail Kim wounds me though. She's improved a lot.

Losing Mack is no loss.

Losing Jazz is somewhat disappointing.....she's not a bad worker, but really they did not have anything for her to do in like forever.

Stamboli is another minor disappointment, in the sense that he actually had improved a bit.

I'm pissed about the Rico cut, though. Rico was a pretty decent worker and was actually entertaining, and I can easily name a half dozen guys from Smackdown (at LEAST) who should be cut over him.

And don't even joke about Stevie getting cut, Ten, cause I'm too afraid it could happen.

I suppose TNA will be cherrypicking from this list once their 90-day clauses are up.......assuming this PPV doesn't bankrupt them befor that.

I can't believe that you people still expect the Fed to make sense. Vince hates Cruiserweights and women so he's gonna phase them out as much as possible. To him they're non entities who serve only as show filler. Women are no more than eye candy and cruisers are spot machines and under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are they EVER to steal the spotlight from his hosses. Your WWE Cruiserweight division: Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guererro, Billy Kidman, Spike Dudley, Your WWE women's divisionL Trish Stratus, Victoria, Lita, Molly. Enjoy every bit of it that they let you have.
