AND THE LIST GOES ON.... 18 GONE IN 24 HOURS... HOW MANY MORE ??
Joy Giovanni
Kenzo & Hiroko Suzuki
Bubba & Dvon Dudley Matt Morgan Charlie Haas Jackie Gayda Marty Jannetty Dawn Marie Mark Jindrak Maven Shannon Moore James Yun (Akio) David Heath (Gangrel) Billy Kidman Spike Dudley Kevin Fertig
Dawn Marie is pregnant, and she was bought out of her contract. And we wish her well.
And what is Charlie Haas and Miss Jackie's wedding present? The kids just got married on June 11th, now "Let's fire them".
Mark Jindrak was just in the RAW draft, now he is let go. Great planning, if you ask me. NOT !!! A few were in the draft.
Marty Jannetty has had many demons in his past, and has had some domestic problems as of late. So letting him go, seems fair.
The only release that totally shocks me is the Dudley's. Bubba & Dvon, two of the hardest workers in the ring, and oh so talented. Bubba (Mark Lamonica who's birthday is July 14th, a nice birthday present) is extremely smart. He booked the buildings for ECW, did a lot behind the scenes too, and I see TNA getting out their check book on this team, if not, they're crazy. The Dudley's will have no problem getting PLENTY of work.
As a matter of fact, I have already put in a request for their phone numbers, as many promoters are interested in booking them immediately. Letting them go is the BIGGEST MISTAKE the WWE could ever make, IMO.
What about Spike Dudley? Another great worker, who we all loved in ECW. Hey Vince, wasn't Spike a big enough wrestler for the WWE?
Spike could wrestle anybody and make it look good.
Billy Kidman will be gone but his wife Torrie Wilson will remain. Where is the justice on this one.
I'm sure by now the WWE has hired Brock Lesnar, and is just playing up all the hype to try to overpower the news of all the releases.
I am a little dumbfounded right now. I can't for the life of me understand why the WWE would even want Brock Lesnar back. He dissed the company, sued the company, ran out after his match at WrestleMania against Goldberg. And every interview he did, told every reporter that the WWE wasn't for him. Now that he has his tail between his legs, because he didn't make it in football, he comes back begging McMahon, and Vince says ok. I really don't get this one at all.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Brock in the ring, as I did, But why bring back someone who said he hates the wrestling business and hates the work schedule.
Will Brock get a lesser work schedule, as he cried, before he left last time??
And if he gets a lesser work schedule, won't that piss off the guys who have been here all along? Too me, bringing back Brock can only mean trouble, IMO....
And lets not forget about 5 or 6 creative and licensing employees were also let go from Titan Towers not too long ago.
I wonder how the Stock Market will react to these cuts? As of right now, WWE stock stands at $11.82. Down .03. WWE low was $11.70 and the high was $11.92.
A more mature Lesnar ready for return
July 6, 2005
WWE fans have not seen Brock Lesnar since his WrestleMania XX match against Goldberg. Shortly afterwards, the former WWE Champion left the sports-entertainment world in favor of pursuing an NFL career. Today, however, Lesnar has confirmed that he is scheduled to meet with Vince McMahon tomorrow to talk about a possible return to the ring.
“I’m excited about getting my working boots on and getting back to business,” Lesnar told WWE.com during a phone interview.
While Lesnar is excited about a return to the ring, he realizes that nothing is definite. “I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow in the meeting,” said Lesnar. “I don’t know if I’m returning to WWE, I really don’t. In order for this to happen, it has to work for both Vince and myself.”
A return to WWE may come as a shock to some fans, as the Internet has been buzzing recently about the rumors of a strained relationship between Lesnar and McMahon. “We need to get on the same page,” admitted Lesnar, regarding their relationship. “There’s some hard feelings on both ends of this. Sometimes it takes a little time to heal. We’ll know more tomorrow.”
The former WWE Superstar admits that some of the responsibility rests on him. “I had some maturing to do. There comes a time in everybody’s life when you have to grow up,” said Lesnar. “But professional wrestling is in my blood. I may have second guessed it in the past, but I know it now.”
