Sadly, no surprise. He wasn't quite in shape last time I saw him and furthermore not used as anything but filler opponent for Gutcheck guys or something similiar.

Shouldn't cost cutting measures start with people that make a lot of money? Somehow I doubt that Doug is one of those people.

This sucks! They couldn't have given him one last run in the X-Division or something before he left? I'll miss him.

Is he still working in OVW or did they remove him from being trainer there? If so.......that is very dumb.

My first reaction was to laugh and think this had happened at least a year ago.
He's a great talent, but he's not been a factor in a long time so no loss I guess.

Really hope he ends up somewhere that will use him. He's too good. He and Kash are probably the two most underutilized talents on the roster.

Not at all surprised, except maybe that it didn't happen sooner. They misused the hell out of Doug the last couple of years, and the writing was on the wall.

If you're referring to Kid Kash, I believe he left the company several months ago. As for Williams, this is no surprise. He hasn't done anything of note in awhile and he's been looking pretty out of shape too. That being said, TNA made a huge mistake by not doing anything with him after his feud with AJ Styles dried up. He got crazy over then the whole company just kinda forgot about him.

I never understood his X-Division run cause he is your typical heavyweight but boy could he cut a promo when they gave him mic time. Guy can talk and wrestle whule that other brit can only wrestle.

If you want to cut costs, release Hulk Hogan. Or at least wait till after Bound for Glory. I'm not sure though if he's just a Spike TV personality, but you could save a ton of money, he's not bringing anything to the company, especially ratings wise, and a guy like Doug Williams can be a great trainer of future TNA stars.
If anyone's curious, Alex Silva used to be on the roster page, but now he's not. That's contrary to Sonjay Dutt and Petey Williams, who never got put back on the roster page.

That'd be like someone saying "The WWE should just release Triple H" when they started releasing NXT guys a couple weeks back. TNA is just getting rid of guys they don't often use or don't need. They still need Hulk.

Damn. I was at an OVW show tonight and hoped to get a glimpse of him, or even a match.

If they wanted cost-cutting measures, shouldn't they have gone with people that aren't of any use and take up a load of money for no reason; such as King Mo.
Williams was a great idea for a trainer in OVW and firing him seems pointless.

I'm pretty sure they're going to keep him on as a trainer.
Jesse Sorensen's also been removed from the roster page, since he's moved over to production now. Jay Bradley was FINALLY added. Lei'd Tapa is still MIA.
For some reason, Rob Van Dam's still there despite departing earlier this year.
