The Reason For The Dicks' Release
Submitted by Daniel Pena on Wednesday, March 1, 2006 at 11:59 PM EST

WWE released Tank Tolland and Chad Wicks (The Dicks) last week. The main reason they were released was because of a fight between Tolland and Wicks.

Wicks was constantly being ribbed and hazed by a number of the veteran Smackdown wrestlers including JBL, Chris Benoit and The Undertaker. Wicks handled the ribbing poorly, and he'd often complain about it, which lead to even more ribbing. Tolland felt that Wicks' constant complaining would put their jobs in jeopardy. Just recently, the tag team partners had a physical altercation as Tolland punched Wicks. The fight put WWE management in a sticky situation because they couldn't possibly justify firing the wrestler who was punched and not the wrestler who did the punching. And thus, WWE decided to just release the both of them.

Tolland and Wicks will be going their separate ways on the indy scene.

I wonder why he was getting ribbed and why he took it so seriously.... I don't necessarily think that punching your partner would solve the problem, but I guess it's too late now.

1) that's what happens when a Dick gets hot headed

2) that's what happens when two Dicks go at it

Why didn't Wicks just go to Managment about it?  Or ask them to stop?  I am sure that Benoit would have stopped and possibly Taker as well. And WTF at Tolland? He cares more about his career than the mental health of his partner who he has been with for quite a while

It goes beyond wrestling terminology, but it's basically playing a prank on someone, teasing them, hazing, etc.

I get that reaction from just about every sentence that includes "The Dicks"
