Also, WHY would they fire their most over diva? That makes no sense. She dared show interest in things outside of WWE.Or she was late a lot.Probably a little of both. Because, she was just like Samoa Joe. Who is as Steiner says......... Sorry, I couldn't resist.  |

Slam Master J was the son of Terry Gordy, right? He still is. WWE doesn't have that trademarked. |

The problem I see with Shelton in TNA is he has zero mic skills. The hostile TNA crowd will chew him up, and spit him out everytime he tries to cut a promo. He's not like Mr. Anderson-- able to keep the smarks within the palm of his hand at every second. If you look at the people that have been successful in TNA that came from WWE (Christian, The Pope, Anderson, Angle, etc.) they were not just technically sound. They had the 'it' factor, too. I doubt Hogan and Dixie would push Shelton much higher than where Kendrick is at. You also have to remember that Kennedy has multiple chances to get himself over the top, but he failed at getting that extra push because of wellness and the inability to stay healthy. I highly doubt that the Impact Zone would be hostile towards Shelton's mic skills as long as he brings it in the ring. If Kaz can be over in the Impact Zone and his mic skills are blander that Shelton's, I doubt they will boo him. Hell, they cheered for Bobby Lashley and he sounds like a 13 year old girl. |

I have a feeling RAW on Monday in Richmond will have a lot of "We Want Mickie" chants - good luck trying to edit those out, Vince.

Don't even get me started on the eloquent mic skills of Lashley and Kaz. |

It's f***ed over that WWE couldn't use Shelton Benjamin right. He had so much potential and they blew it. He busted his ass and put his life on the line every year at Wrestlemania just to satisfy us. WWE isn't even about the wrestling anymore, releasing Shelton just proves that. Granted he didn't have spectacular mic skills, he was still over with the crowd and had a great ammount of exciting offensive moves. He was one of the best technical wrestlers on the roster and it's just saddening to see how bad WWE used him. Yes he won the IC title, yes he had the US title for damn near a year, but where did that get him? Oh thats right, ECW and now released. The guy should have made it to the main event years ago. WWE are all about the celebrities now, instead of spending time pushing guys like Shelton, they're milking the fact about how Jennifer Hudson's husband is on their roster, and worrying about this week's guest host.
And wtf is with releasing Katie and Mickie? Two of the best divas on the roster, and yet The Bella Twins, Kelly Kelly, Maryse and Rosa Mendes are still employed... I just can't get my head around it.

With Mickie James gone, there's one less reason for me to watch WWE.
I hope she goes to TNA.
Since she was basically the most over with fans and (arguably) the best-skilled female on WWE's roster, she should immediately become the main Knockout in TNA.

Nah Jericho is not in danger because of outside interests. For one thing, they need him. So many good, world-class talent have died that they need a guy like Jericho for years and years to come, in and out of the ring. For another thing, WWE does business with Fozzy. Jericho always seems to buy commercial time of some sort on the shows, or then a Fozzy song is used as the theme of a minor PPV...

I think that Haas probably got Shelton released with all that ranting and raving he did with that interview.

Im shocked by Mickie's release, but her being late for the bus in Europe a few times is kinda lame for a reason to fire her. Hope she has some success as a singer, and maybe even hope to hear Tenay screaming "WHAT IS MICKIE JAMES DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE?"

Just a difference of opinion, I guess. McCool's passable, but so terribly bland I don't care, and I don't at all like Melina. Natalya and Beth are okay, just never cared for them and Gail Kim has done nothing but stink up the ring since she came to WWE. Plus, Katie and Jillian were / are total jobbers so do they really count? Difference of opinion? Haha. No. Whether a wrestler has good ring psychology, can carry, sell, and execute is not a matter of opinion at all. Just because Jillian and Katie aren't able to showcase much offense doesn't mean they are bad workers, so yes they count. Beth is THE best in the divas division at carrying and selling as far as I'm concerned. And her being a total powerhouse doesn't hurt either. She's not a bad wrestler with just brute strength like say a Chyna. Michelle McCool has improved a lot, and while I still don't like her because of the whole Taker thing, I can say she's as good as Trish ever was in the ring. I don't think I should have to explain Natalya or Gail to you because it's obvious you haven't seen enough of their work to form a logical explanation as to why you believe they aren't good or great. I won't tell you to go watch Gail's stuff in TNA because there's a reason you're posting in the WWE section, so instead I'll tell you to go watch Gail Kim when she first came to the WWE in 2003. Watch her matches against Trish, Lita, Nidia, and mainly Victoria. If you do that you'll be marking out for her forever and highly doubt you'll ever say she ''stinks up the ring'' again. Okay, if skill is something that cannot be debated, please tell me which side is the correct one - those that feel Orton is a master of psychology who tells brilliant stories, or those that think he's the most boring man on the planet? And I fully realize Gail's had some good work in the past, but where's it been lately? She's done nothing but botch left, right, and center since she left TNA. |

She isn't John Cena. 1/2 of the audience won't even know she is released. The half that does give a pop about 3 seconds long and then dies completely out. Vince won't be able to edit out a chant that won't exist. |

I just thought of something. Beth and Natie (I would count Gail, but she has not done crap since returning) are now the only two female wrestler in the E whose skills are even passable in the ring. Way to go Vinny Mac, way to go.
