It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!
It's firing day in WWE.

Just read online that Chris Masters, Vladimir Kozlov and Melina were released.

Also, Gail Kim announced on Twitter that she's quitting on Monday.

The only release that surprises me is Melina because she's dating JoMo. The WWE really dropped the ball on using Gail Kim. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she hopped back over to TNA. Also, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit going that I'm going to miss Kozlov. I really enjoyed the Santino and Kozlov team while it lasted.

DH Smith got canned too. I think that's all the releases for today, right?

Other than Kozlov, we rarely see any of those people on tv anymore anyway. Nobody will notice they're gone.

Gail only went to WWE for the payday. At the time, she wanted to stay in TNA but couldn't turn down the WWE paycheck. Can't blame her for that.

The only firing that could surprise me was Melina. I thought McIntyre would get axed this time, but nope.

I think Melina only got to stay as long as she did because of Morrison.

None of these names are surprising. I've been expecting Melina to get fired since she bad mouthed Trish getting a WrestleMania match. WWE never did anything with Gail Kim. Kozlov and Santino has done everything they can do as a comedy team and Kozlov isn't even good. The other names aren't even on TV.

I am actually surprised that these were the only names released. Usually, when WWE does their yearly releases they release a dozen names or so. I wonder if more will be released over the next week or two.

It seems that the rosters cuts from the WWE main roster weren't the only releases the company made this past week.

The following have been removed from the FCW roster page:

Bobby Dutch

Colin Cassady

DeSean Bishop

Jason Mullen

Leroy Parks

Lucky Cannon

Cameron Lynn

Sonia

Colin Cassady, Leroy Parks, and Cameron Lynn were added to the roster recently so there is some speculation that it they were put on the website too soon and are in fact still with FCW.


Lucky Cannon was really the only half-way notable name from that list. I may be wrong, but I believe Sonia is Jerry Lawler's girlfriend.

WWE Diva Gail Kim posted an update on her status with the company via a Twitter page. "This is the current situation for everyone who's asking: I quit last Monday. And apparently after a total of five years of working for a company where I was not utilized or appreciated, I am now, for some reason, valuable enough to keep me under the remainder of my contract so I can't worse elsewhere. Controlling?" Follow her on Twitter at Twitter.com/GailKimITSME.


If WWE keeps Gail under her contract, which they certainly can do since that's what a contract is by definition, and if they want to punish her for trying to quit, how exactly would they do it? She's never on Raw. She hasn't gotten any kind of push since returning. It's not like she hurt her standings with the company by trying to quit. :shrug:

I guess just prevent her from immediately jumping to TNA out of spite.

Do people still get payed a set amount per week or month if they don't appear on any programming? I'm assuming she works house shows and gets some money for that but is there a set pay cheque they get for just being under contract?

I believe the way it works is that they sign a minimum guarantee and will get that regardless if they are used or not. But the people that get used make more money than their minimum guarantee due to merchandise sales, ticket sales, etc.

Half of the ESPN people are wrestling fans. A lot of them have pod casts and talk wrestling and interview wrestlers. I guess it's the management that have the big problem with it.

Ted DiBiase’s brother Brett is no longer under contract to World Wrestling Entertainment. Brett requested his release, and is leaving of his own accord, reports The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Brett at 23 has already had neck fusion surgery and just had his fourth knee operation. Recently, Brett was working as a referee for Florida Championship Wrestling, but realized dropping on the mat for all the pin fall attempts was painful, and asked to be let out of his deal.

So Nash is confirmed to interfere in the Triple H vs CM Punk match at NOC, yes? Nash going from playing the unsigned attacker to a contracted employee to an unsigned attacker seems kind of shallow in storyline depth. But there is a possibility that this is legit.

WWE needs to stop trying to pass these off as legit terminations or else people are going to stop believing when they really announce the releases of superstars. Shame on WWE.

LOL at Maryse being the latest Miss Feature Endeavored. It seems she took it pretty well unlike Melina.

Come on now. She still has Miz who makes millions and not to mention looks. If anything this is a good thing.

Now she can do modelling and acting and what not.

Oh and she was injured C hence why she wasn't on TV;).

LOL and I dunno if you guys knew this but she actually threw a release (from WWE) party. Don't worry she'll live;).

Maryse was one of my favorite Divas by far. She looked great and was probably one of the best female wrestlers the company had. I'm actually really bummed out by her being released. I hope she jumps to TNA because I'll definitely miss seeing her on TV.
