Biggest loses were Rico and Gail Kim, two very talented people. Who do you think will be the next two to go?

[Eman]

They need to clean out the whole show.

[Anti-Colin]

They released Test? That guy was old school, not really but he had a good 4 years atleast.

[Link_of_Time]

too bad for test and stamboli both had much potential especially stamboli,never really cared bout ne of the rest, only one that kinda surprised me was nidia. I mean after 3 years she finally starts to get a real push in womens competition and they just let her go, damn. oh well them the breaks

[Michael Bluth]

- Mark Henry
- Val Venis

Are the next two I'd get rid of if I were WWE, after that would be Holly.

[Crow]

Nowinski
Henry
Akio
Funaki
Holly
Nunzio
Scotty
Spike

[Michael Bluth]

Not Funaki!!!!!! I should give you negative rep for that.

[Blaksmoke]

It just goes to show you how much WWE needs cash right now.

[Jesus]

Billy Gunn? Oh Fuck,

Wasn't he spark Plug Back in the Day?

[Blaksmoke]

No, that was Holly, who is also gone.

[Kliq]

Billy Gunn was the (ass)MAN back in the daY! Damn.

Test had serious potential, he just wasn't used right.

[Crow]

Billy Gunn was half of the Smoking Gunns back in the day

[Koopa69]

Man the WWE has really gone to shit. Wheres Hulk Hogan? The Undertaker looks like a damn cowboy...I mean wht memorable guys do we have left?Stone colds gone, Mick Foleys gone..i dont even like anybody on that show.

[HereticPB]

The Rock?

[Carlos]

The Rock?
He'll be back.

All of those stars that has been released, will go to TNA, I think.

[Shoelace]

Lets see they got rid of all of those wrestlers. (At least they didn't get rid of Akio, Londen, or Nunzio.) However, they hire like all of the diva wannabes. That sucks.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Billy Gunn was a part of the new age outlaws with the Road Dogg Jessie James. That was when I was watching.

Better yet, he was a member of DX (Degeneration X).

[disrupter006]

The Fall of DX was the fall of WWE in my mind though i still watch it. DX vs. Austin was always enjoyable when he would stalk them. The one i would get rid of is this Muhamad or w/e guy. I really dont like the story line they are goin with for him.

Bleh, gone are the days of old school stuff like... DX, Austin, Hardcore matches (most memorable wrestlemania X8 where the belt was up for grabs all night and al snow came in a golf cart and tried running people down with it), Kane with a mask, Team Xtreme, and shane o mac.

I miss the good ol' days so i might see if i can get wwe 24/7 to see some of the good times.

[Carlos]

I feel the same way, I still watch WWE, but the one that I saw as the downfall of WWE, was Austin. His leave marked the end of that "battle with the boss" although he and Mchanon ended it during the match between Austin vs Undertaker "end of an era" match. It would've been great to see Austin vs Bischoff - since that is hotter than Vince and Austin because of the fact that Austin got fired by him. The era could've gone hotter and hotter, because austin always looks for revenge.

[Shoelace]

I just think they need to stop focusing on Triple H, and focus on the others. CrusierWeights people!!!

[Crow]
