Guest HTQ Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Tony Mamaluke (FBI) Doug Basham (Paul Heyman's security) Danny Hollie (Danny Basham) Al Snow Gymini (Mike & Todd Shane) David Heath (Gangrel) Jazz and Rodney Mack The list will probably keep growing. Add Terkay to the list.
Loss Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 For most of these, I had no idea WWE had them under contract.
Stuttsy Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 I want The Revolution versus the Briscoes like yesterday. Versus Aries & Strong could be great too. Seriously, Doug Basham should by all right take over the world via the indys now. He's got everything to be a huge star. I hope Gabe picks him up and goes the Brent Albright route.
Marty Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 The firings right now don't surprise me. I believe during the fall that, according to Meltz, some PPV numbers and such were down a fair amount compared to last year. When that happens, out come the pink slips. I had no idea Gangrel was still with the company though.
Loss Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 They released Tatanka? That sucks. His comeback has been surprisingly fun.
Guest HTQ Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Add Seth Skyfire, Jack Bull, and Ryan Reeves to the list.
Guest HTQ Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Who? They were all in OVW. Skyfire was a good worker but had his small size working against him. Reeve was suspended for a month almost a year ago, for failing a drug test.
Dylan Waco Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Fuck Tatanka v. Jimmy Yang has been the best thing on SD
Guest HTQ Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 You can add Bill DeMott, Micah Taylor, Tracy Taylor, Tony Santarelli, and Tommy Suede from Deep South. And t seems that Tatanka and Mike Knox both had their names up on WWE.com before being taken down, though obviously Tatanka's name went back up and stayed there. Knox appears to be paying the price for being a Heyman project.
Dylan Waco Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Jesus, are they getting rid of Mid South? I thougt DeMott was well regarded in the company?
sek69 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 DSW never seemed to be any good, I remember reading somewhere that WWE agents went to a show and were appalled at how bad it was. Looks like they might try to reshuffle things so OVW is the development area and ECW is the "too good for OVW but not ready for prime time" area.
Marty Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Too bad about Tatanka being released. He had a nice little comeback going. If I can be somewhat positive, at least this time, they didn't fire anyone BEFORE Christmas.
kjh Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Bill Demott's replacement as head trainer of Deep South Wrestling is Dr. Tom Prichard It must be quite embarrassing for John Laurinaitis that the person he forced out of the company when he was made head of talent relations now heads up his pet project that up to this point has been a monumental disaster.
Guest teke184 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 Bill Demott's replacement as head trainer of Deep South Wrestling is Dr. Tom Prichard It must be quite embarrassing for John Laurinaitis that the person he forced out of the company when he was made head of talent relations now heads up his pet project that up to this point has been a monumental disaster. Why exactly was Dr. Tom forced out to begin with? Was it a total Johnny Ace thing? I'd heard that at least part of it was due to threats of a lawsuit from some ex-Divas who were sent to OVW and fucked up their backs in training.
kjh Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 I'd got the impression that Laurinaitis forced him out so he could put someone in his spot who would be loyal and subservient to him, rather than someone who was outspoken about planned changes in developmental policies and reluctant to change. This may just be Dr. Tom's version of events though.
