Who's Next? WWE's firing squad

who do you think is next? With Kanyon and Ernest Miller gone who else would fit the description of someone they don't use on tv. I'm thinking Jon Heidenrich and possibly Jaqueline who hasn't been on tv in a long time, maybe Shawn Ohaire aswell.

I think Nowinski is injured but I wouldn't be suprised to see him cut either, Steven Regal is another one I haven't seen in a while, he might be injured too.

Nowinski had a bad concussion and has been out for months. No word on when or if he'll return. And NO, it wasn't Hardcore Holly who concussed him.

As for Regal, he caught some effed up blood disease when the WWE was in (I think) India and it nearly killed him. Only recently was he given permission by doctors to resume working out. He also may or may not return.

If anything happened, i'm sure Bill DeMott would stay on Tough Enough.

Sylvan, I believe, is injured.

Rico is "Miss Jackie"'s bitch.

They'd be stupid to get rid of Shannon or Lance.

And, I think Jamal ate Rosey.

Kanyon got released?!?

That sucks. His "Invasion MVP" angle a couple of years ago was great, and he was hilarious. Too bad he got hurt and they gave up on him. I thought he was going to get over as a major heel.

I doubt Jacqueline is going anywhere. If for no other reason to train new talent along with Ivory. Gail Kim better get well quick or she may be gone. Someone really likes Maven because he's been hur alot and always comes back with a big push. I don't see him in any danger. Rodney Mack has a job only as long as Jazz does and Mark Henry will be out as soon as his huge contract expires.

Maven has great charisma and camera presence. I think that's what keeps him around. It's really sad that he and Nowinski are injured. That was a feud I really wanted to see grow, a feud that made sense.

I think it's time that the WWE realize that they have too much talent on RAW & SMACKDOWN, and that they revive WCW or ECW and spin it off as their own promotions.

Letting Kanyon go is just wrong. He is a fun, interesting, and innovative wrestler. Take away all his chemistry (which he had oddles of) and you had not only a solid tactical wrestler but an incredibly creative one. He had an incredible move set. Hope he lands on his feet in Japan.

I still can't see Ivory getting the boot. I doubt she has a huge salary and she's like the go-to girl in the division. If you need a good match on short notice, toss Ivory in there with just about anyone. Plus, she was in a title match just a couple of PPV's ago.

Wasn't Gowen liked by the fans?

I agree, they also lack alot of star power and only have a couple of main eventers on the show, however Eddie Guerrero winning the title last night could be a good thing!!

I'd like to see more focus on the tag division on both shows, it seems like we have a lot of the & tag teams like Scotty & Rikishi or Batista & Ric Flair........tons of others through the years, I'd like to see focus on tag teams with a name like Demolition or The Powers of Pain........like back in the day those were killer tag teams, who weren't exactly good wrestlers but had a great look and gimmick.

A shame... i always loved Kanyon, even in WCW after he got rid of the Mortis gimmick. I haven't watched wrestling in awhile, but i always remember Kanyon did some unique things in the ring and was great on the mic. Who Better then Kanyon?!?

According to locker room reports, he acted like Miss Priss and started making outrageous demands. Apparently everyone got tired of his attitude.

I think the cuts were to make room for some new faces in both brands. But whatever happened to the guy who said that it was somebody else who made his video, got his ticket, etc?
