WTF??? Are you kidding me? They were completely over with the crowd. Right when they were getting their push to the tag titles too. They either violated the policy or did something really messed up.

"Eugene was in attendance for the meeting, which was held before ECW/SmackDown tapings last night. He was notified of his release shortly after the meeting and is said to have been escorted from the building."

"Cryme Tyme was involved in an incident with Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch at the house show yesterday in Terre Haute, Indiana. Details of the incident have not come to light yet. By all accounts this has nothing to do with any drug related issues. Because only Cryme Tyme was released it is easy to speculate that they were at fault or the cause of what ever the incident was that took place. More info to come soon..."

McMahon is laying the smack down this week.

Likely not due to Wellness Policy...

As reported earlier, WWE has released Cryme Tyme (Shad Gaspard and JTG). It doesn't appear as if they were released due to anything relating to the WWE Wellness Policy.

The team was involved in an incident at the RAW house show in Terra Haute, Indiana. During their match with Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch, the finish saw a strange countout even though JTG was back in the ring. After the match, Cryme Tyme attacked the ref and removed his belt, then pretending to auction it off to the audience. Something relating to this finish did not sit well with WWE management and the team had a lot of heat on them today at the RAW taping prior to being released.

Details From Backstage WWE Meeting: Batista Speaks, Stephanie Says More Have Been Suspended, Triple H Gives Speech
Posted by Ashish on 09.02.2007

New details from backstage...

A meeting was held with talent at the Smackdown/ECW taping yesterday afternoon. Details are below.

- Stephanie McMahon said 13 wrestlers have been suspended for buying drugs from online pharmacies and two others have been suspended for drug screening failures. WWE has only confirmed 11 suspensions publicly. This means that either Stephanie said the wrong number or four others have been suspended. That means a total of 15 wrestlers could be suspended, plus the firing of Mike Bucci.

- Stephanie also told the wrestlers that Vince McMahon was looking forward to the upcoming Congressional hearings on pro-wrestling, saying that he was thinking of wearing a clown wig and shoes to make a point about the entire process.

- Batista spoke up at the meeting, saying the reports that named him as a customer of Signature Pharmacy were false and that he has never received anything from online pharmacies. He asked Stephanie what he could do legally about that and she told him that he needs to discuss that with his personal attorneys. Batista was apparently very upset about his name being in the reports, standing by his statement that he has never purchased drugs from online pharmacies.

- At the end of the meeting, Triple H gave a speech to try and raise morale. He told the wrestlers that they may feel like they are in a horrible business right now, but to remember that they have the greatest job in the world and a job they have all dreamed of doing. He said he was proud to be a pro-wrestler and that it is important that all the boys stick together and work through this tough time for the pro-wrestling industry.
