Be warned though the source of this article is the Iraqi Information Minister of Wrestling News Ryan Clark.
If this is true, its a damn shame that Mercury took a shot like that and had to display that to everyone just to be the next Simon Dean.
Anyone know what site does Ryan Clark really work for?

I've read this on various NEWZ sites, including The Wrestling Fan.....I'm really thinking that ECW needs to be taken out behind the barn and shot, if this is true.
Here's the post from the Fan's SOUR 25:
"All dressed up with no face to go. Normally in WWE, whenever you suffer a freak accident they give you a push. Hell, Bob Holly, despite bringing as much to the table these days as an Ethiopian Restaurant, got a push for slicing his back open, but according to Wrestling Observer newsletter, Joey can look forward to a career of putting over the likes of Tatanka when he returns in February.
Originally, Mercury was slated for ECW, but since Heyman’s departure, new head-writer Dave Lagana is pushing hard for Gene Snitsky instead; because let’s face it, what you REALLY need in ECW is more giant dudes throwing big boots. Poor Joey Mercury. You end up with a grill that looks like circa Rocky 4 Rocky Balboa after being stung by killer bees, and then they give your slot to guys who’d disintegrate if someone ever threw a bucket of Clearasil on them. Anything can happen in the WWE!!!... Except for logic. And justice. And good sense. And good writing. And…well, you get the picture."
Of course, the rabid Snitskymaniacs on this board will disagree, but the LAST thing WWECW needs is another big tall guy that does a boot-to-the face.
Sucks for Joey. I mean, what the hell is wrong with putting MNM back together on RAW?

If this is indeed true...what I'm about to say isn't new news or anything, but the WWE are out of their tiny minds.

Or because the INTERNETZ loves Joey, and craps on WWECW, so Lagana, being the good stooge that he is, buries Mercury to spite us.

Anyone know what site does Ryan Clark really work for? *Clears throat* F*** 'em. TNA would love to have him. Let's see: Job to The Miz and Boogeyman for $$$ or Slug it out with Christian and Kurt Angle for $$$$? The choice is pretty clear. And don't think if he left the WWE, TNA wouldn't be interested. |

WWE doesn't want to do a good thing for the tag division, instead just wants to waste someone's talent?
Shock of the century.

I enjoy both Mercury and Snitsky; I'm a peacemaker.
But I am not too worried about this even if true. After an injury there has sometimes been a time of JTTS for guys just to see how they perform in the ring, if they are really "back" and healthy, etc. It's not the end of the world, yet. Plus I wonder how much suspicion/ill will remains from Mercury's substance issues. I think that smaller guys with SA issues will not get nearly the tolerance that hosses get.
I am pretty sure that Mercury was in the quarter million dollar salary bracket, so JTTS is not the worst outcome possible.
