Vince Goes Nuts
In the past couple of days the WWE has released some big names. In a move that only shows that Vince is nuts, several popular and skilled wrestlers have been fired. Recently 16, 16!, wrestlers were fired. That is a staggering number. Last year it was all the fodder and it was a smaller number. This year we lost some names.
First and foremost the WWE has fired the Dudley Boyz. Granted I'm not much of a fan, but seriously Vince they were uber popular. I guess you just couldn't afford them. Which is a shame because now more than ever this craphole of a company needs wrestlers that the fans actually know. None of this MNM malarky. Of course I'm under the impression that Vince is firing these people in order to clear up some room to bring back big bad Brock. Worst mistake anyone could make. Fire a bunch of guys who have major respect for the business, and hire back the man who hates everything about wrestling and spit on the company and fans that supported him.
Then we have Spike Dudley. He was always a great opening man, and he had the potential for more but they never let him loose. After reading his words after he was fired, I gained major respect for Mr. 150-pounds-soaking-wet. This man told the truth about the E, not that it was a great place to work but that it sucked out your soul and made you hate the business. Little Spike Dudley in ROH? I hope so.
But perhaps one of the biggest firings in my mind is Charlie Haas. WHY THE DUECE WOULD ANYONE FIRE HAAS? This man is incredibly skilled on the mat, he worked brilliantly in Team Angle and he just had it going on. This man had no reason to be fired, not only that but they fired his wife along with him! The words that appeared on his site after his firing were what excited me though. He said he wants to work in Ring of Honor! YES YES YES YES YES YES! There is NO bad that can come from that. Bryan Danielson vs Charlie Haas anyone? And the weird thing? Everyone on the ROH boards actually wants him to come! They usually hate everyone. Here's to Charlie Haas in ROH, championship material.
A few cruisers were fired as well, which is a really odd way to build up your cruiser division. Billy Kidman, Shannon Moore and Akio were all good and they were recognizable names that people generally liked. So why get rid of them? Because they're the small man and they're eating up Heidenreich's salary. Why have exciting cruisers when you can have an idiot who's always marching and chanting his own name that no one cares about? Akio/Jimmy Yang in ROH? Yes, everyone wants it. Shannon Moore in ROH? Hey why not, team him with Version 1 and give them the tag titles. Billy Kidman in ROH? No thans.
Then there were a bunch of fodder firings. Maven, Gangrel, Jindrak, Mordecai, Kenzo Suzuki + wife, Joy something, Marty Janeatty and Matt Morgan. Pretty unimpressive group, though why keep the OVW guys in development for 3 years only to give them a 1 month run on TV and fire them?
Ah well, that's all for now although I have a feeling that we're not done yet. I have a feeling Tajiri might get axed. According to various sites SOMEONE is getting fired. Someone big.
