I love how they take all her pictures out of the Taboo Tuesday promotions, then bash those evil internet reports saying she got let go. I guess it was just the WWE not wanting to promote someone they know won't be at the show. That'd be poor business.... Speaking of, I expect the WWE net-bashing machine to go full blast soon since the company's hit rock bottom and booked itself into all sorts of corners.

Since they shitcanned JR, they need someone who can get things over behind the mic.

Doc Hendrix sucked, but if they let Hayes be Hayes he can be awesome.

It's funny, they need a soild heel announcer and Paul Heyman WORKS FOR THE GODDAMN COMPANY, yet they'd never consider him because of his look. Same with Michael Hayes, he'd be an awesome commenatator, but no.

If Christian had a belt to lose before leaving, or an angle that needed finalizing, I could see him working w/o a contract to do right by the business. None of those are a factor and the company's treated him like utter shit, yet he's going to take one for the team at a throwaway PPV that's already been booked into oblivion? I guess it speaks of his character, but it probably also speaks that he's in the wrong profession.

This whole JR/Coach/Austin/Batista/Goldust/Vader angle is quite possibly the biggest clusterfuck ever, and it's all because Vince thought he could wave some cash and get Mike Goldberg to leave UFC. The possibility of him turning Vince down was obviously never even considered since they had absolutely no backup plan in place. What sucks is Goldust still looks like he's in decent shape, yet he gets paired with Coach and a horribly out of shape and immobile Vader.

Every report I've read said there is almost no extras in the big box at least, maybe the smaller sets have some.

My question is how unwise is it for Christian to work without a contract? I'm about 99% sure these votes are worked, but if he ends up in the match, what if someone botches a move and he gets hurt? For that matter, what if he slips on his way to the shitter before the match? Wouldn't Vince be technically able to say he's not liable since he has no contract with him?

It can't be stated enough that Ken Kennedy has been the biggest hit of the latest batch of OVW call-ups, and he's been the only one not cut off at the knees right out of the box. He's doing the exact same gimmick that got him over on OVW, and shock of shocks, it got him over in WWE. I've been a fan of his ever since I picked up OVW TV tapes, he has the charisma you need to get over in abundance.

Tonight's show seemed to show that the wheels have completely fallen off the company. Guys are getting hurt, guys are quitting, angles are falling apart at the seams....if your intention was to ram a company into the ground, you couldn't plan it better than what's happening to WWE now.

It looks like they've done almost a total reset to 1996.

What the hell happened to Vader? It looks like he ate Torrie Wilson.

Apparently he's agreed to work tonight and Taboo Tuesday despite already offically parting ways, which makes him the most professional guy in WWE.

Considering Jerry Jarrett has so little power now he stamped his feet all the way to WWE Towers, I'd think a Double J free TNA is in our future. This is probably the pivotal moment for TNA, even if he turns them down they have to do the full court press to attempt to snag him. A poster on crazymax was saying it's too bad they already taped their 11/3 show, since Christian showing up there before his taped appearance on Smackdown would be TNA's "Rick Rude shows up live on Nitro and taped on RAW" moment.

I'd say at minimum it's a five year low.

Right about now, Heyman's probably starting to figure out what caused Cornette to go around slapping people.

That's so dumb, why would Ace play hardball like that when there's a chance they're going to have real competition for the first time in years?

This is great news, while Vince is busy making fun of his own loyal employees and trying to steal UFC announcers, TNA will be reminding wrestling fans that it's possible to watch wrestling again and not be embarrassed.

It's funny, WWE vs UFC is like a fight where only one side is taking part. UFC doesn't even pay attention to what WWE does, while TNA is slowly building an audience and holding decent TV ratings, not to mention slowly becoming an attractive alternative to guys who are being shat on by Vince.

I'd wager Matt will end up in TNA as soon as contractually possible after the rapid depush he got as well.

So they pulled the old Wendi Richter manuver on him, demanding he sign a contract on the spot? I can imagine what was in the fine print when they want people to sign legal documents without reading them. If his contract just ran out, does that mean there won't be a no-compete clause? I can't see how they could enforce one if his deal with the WWE ended on its own with no firings/releases.

Also, this doesn't seem to be worded like other times people part with the company. When someone gets cut or their deal isn't renewed, the WWE.com story usually is worded like "WWE has released Jason "Christian" Reso and we wish him the best in his future endeavors".

Part of me wants to think this is a setup for some type of angle, but then I remember the WWE is more interested in giving guys penis gimmicks than thinking up ways to push people who got over on their own. If this is legit, I for one won't be surprised. Wasn't there reports out that Christian wasn't happy with getting shunted to SD and forgotten about? I really hope this is true so he can go to TNA and have that "Waltman shooting on Hogan when he came back to the WWF" moment you know he wants to do.

Apparently the Tolands, former OVW tag champs, are going to be billed as James and Jack Dick, and their whole gimmick is their name. Seriously, are 12 year olds running creative now? The best they can come up with for guys now is dick jokes?

What was the deal with Nick Bockwinkel on commentary for some of those matches? The time frame would have been during his last AWA run and I don't recall him ever doing anything with the WWF.
