WWE FireFest '07

Woah, woah woah. Lets hold on a minute here guys.

Look at the list..

Sylvester Terkay - ECW
Jazz - ECW
Rodney Mack - Unassigned
Tony Mamaluke - ECW
The Bashams (Doug and Danny) - ECW
Al Snow - ECW
The Gymini - ECW
Gangrel - ECW

All from ECW. It could look like WWE has given up and spared on the talent they feel they can spread to other brands, lol.

Does this mean.....getting rid of the failure known as ECW?(wwe one)Cerebroth

Also to add to the list: CW Anderson.

So far none of these people have been a huge loss time-filling wise. But I really liked Terkay and Elijah(sp?) Let's just hope he doesn't get fired as well. Burke is the best heel on ECW right now in my opinion.

Also it makes sense to do this and I agree with Vince, if you're not using them, fire them. It doesn't make business sense.

I seriously think that Vince and Laurantis are shutting down ECW, slowly. I mean, why aren't they firing any non-used talent from SmackDown or RAW?

It's like a spring clean out over there. No doubt some of those had potential in the ring and especially for certain divisions like the tag team division. Oh and yeah, it certainly looks like they're filtering ECW's "roster". I wish those released all the best for the future and I am looking forward to seeing some gaps filled in the meantime.

What a way to kick off WWE's FireFest this year!

What's wrong Vince? Paying too much for your car insurance so you have to fire talent?

You! sir, should be switching to Geico! *High fives Ace Steel*

Happy Typing Jackov, we got more to add..

THREE WWE DEVELOPMENTAL TALENTS RELEASED
by Mike Johnson @ 5:54:00 PM on 1/19/2007

WWE released Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental talents Seth Skyfire, Jack Bull, and Ryan Reeves today. All three had been featured regularly on Ohio Valley Wrestling TV.

Skyfire had been a long tenured performer in OVW, holding the OVW TV and Tag Team championship. He had feuded with CM Punk towards the end of Punk's OVW tenure.

Jack Bull, an Arizona native, signed a developmental deal last year and spent time in Deep South Wrestling. He was moved to OVW, where he was managed by developental Diva Sosay and did a "drunken redneck" type of gimmick. He had recently been feuding with Joey Mercury in OVW.

Ryan Reeves was a contestant in the Million Dollar Tough Enough competition who was later signed to a WWE developmental deal. He trained in DSW and was moved to OVW. He had most recently been put together as a tag team with Jon Bolen under the team name "High Dosage".

I guess WWE is preparing for the massive drop in revenue that is to come from Triple H's injury and his inability to main event Wrestlemania.

... Even though the ratings are up.

ya but i dont think they make money via ratings or ppv buys anymore except wrestlemania and the others of the big 4 and even those are in decline.

i think there revenue is cash cowing in on dvds of old greatness that shall never be acheived again and marketing ads and whatnot and book signings and other crap like that nothing on actual current wrestling shows i think all that loses them more money these days. and there games and toys and accessories.

World Wrestling Entertainment has released two developmental talents that were working for Deep South Wrestling, Jon Bolen and James Rogers.

Bolen actually won the 2004 TNA Gutcheck Challenge in Atlanta, Georgia and was utilized in an enhancement role several times. He worked several Pittsburgh, PA area independents but since TNA didn't have a system in place to develop and use Bolen, he later signed with WWE. He spent some time in OVW, teaming with Ryan Reeves as High Dosage before Reeves was released as well.

James Rogers is a Canadian native who has done some acting and stunt work in the past. Rogers signed in November 2006.
