Hand off the trigger Vince, no wrestlers, no show!

Recently the WWE trimmed some fat/hair off their roster by releasing Billy Gunn, A-Train & the ever charismatic Test. By doing so, the WWE has accomplished a few things.

First, they spared the fans from ever having to chant “Shave Your Back” ever again. Second, they save themselves some valuable time by not having to come up with another “brilliant” (sarcasm) gimmick for Mr. Ass, Billy Gunn, “The One” Billy Gunn, Rockabilly...well, you get the point. And finally, the poor marks that actually had the courage to “pop” for Test, no longer have to be referred to as a nut sack!

After the head of the “Testicle’s” discharge from the company, many were curious as to why someone who was injured severely and not able to work in the ring, let alone a drive through window would be cut loose; the answer….”We thought that you would have saved some money”……”But when you’re healed (ala Benny Hinn) give us a call so you can come back to work”. Sounds to me like Test got it right in the Mr. Ass on that one. Just don’t call Vince cold hearted, after all, Droz is still employed right?

After those 3 were released from active duty in the WWE, they decided that they would kick off the holidays early and can a few more “Superstars”. This time round, Nidia, Gail “Am I from Canada or Hong Kong” Kim and Chuck “You Can’t Fire Me, I Quit 2 Years Ago” Palumbo.

The ultimate surprise in this is that, WWE is trimming the useless salaries that are hindering him from bringing in young, cheap talent (Snitsky maybe?). If WWE is so concerned with useless talent and heavy salaries, why not chop off a big chunk and fire The Big Show? I mean you can only polish a turd so many times, and the end result will still be doo doo! Why not Jerry Lawler, Mark Henry, RVD, Kane and the over paid creative staff?

Why pay so much money for people, just to stick them on Heat or Velocity?

But in all honesty, the best push that the WWE has given all 6 of these former competitors is the push right out the door. Maybe they will hire Viscera full time to replace the stagnant and utter waste of plane fare that was just whacked by Vinne Mac.

Let’s hope that this belated spring cleaning will carry into the winter and end this “Brand Extension”.

Update:

Since this writing the WWE has once again taken OJ’s knife across the throats of more superstars, this time it's Johnny Stamboli, Rico, Rodney Mack and his husband Jazz, bringing the total to 10 fired this past week. This goes to show that you that even Vince McMahon understands that if you don’t flush the toilet, you’re in for one helluva smell.
