Woah, they released the Dudley's? I know they were getting stale, but that was the best tag team in the company to me. Charlie Haas was dope and so was Billy Kidman.

These releases are do to the fact that the WWE is expected to lose around $10million when they move to the USA network, so they're trying to cut costs now so they don't pay for it in a few months.

Dawn Marie is currently pregnant, so I guess they didn't think that she would be coming back at all

Kenzo Suzuki has offically been released making the total number of cuts today at 16.
Well, another one is on the way. More than one, but we have it confirmed that Hiroko Suzuki has also been released from the company. Expect that to be added to the WWE.com list shortly

Reasons for some of the releases:

-- The Dudley Boys (Bubba Ray & D’Von) were released because their contracts are up next month and they couldn't agree money terms with WWE. The Dudleys are said to be looking at TNA and Japan as future options.

-- Marty Jannetty was released because of a domestic incident that occurred with his partner. He was subsequently jailed.

-- Dawn Marie had her contract bought out due to her pregnancy

Updated List:

Matt Morgan  - Loser
Charlie Haas - Loser (look at him vs. Benjamin... Benjamin ran with the ball, Haas didn't)
Jackie Gayda  - Loser (How do you fuck up being a ho on t.v.?  Just go out and strip)
Marty Jannetty - Loser (again, look at him vs. Michaels... Michaels ran with the ball, Janetty didn't)
Dawn Marie - Sad to see her go, but hell she's pregnant, it was probably a mutual decision
Mark Jindrak - Loser
Maven - Loser
Shannon Moore - Loser (look at him vs. Helms... Helms ran with the ball and created a gimmick, Moore didn't)
James Yun (Akio) - Loser
David Heath (Gangrel) - Loser
Billy Kidman - Loser (Hogan famously said Kidman couldn't sell out a flea market)
Spike Dudley - Loser
Kevin Fertig - Loser
& the Dudley Boyz' contracts will not be renewed - Prob. due to problems with management or something, money disputes, something... they were always more ECW orientated and not as willing to play ball the WWE's way, so I'll bet this was sort of a mutual thing as well.

The person who got Dawn Marie pregnant was her husband, wrestler Simon Diamond. Make sense doesn't it that it was her husband who got her pregnant?

Several of the cuts surprised me. I heard they're not done yet. If it was me, I'd chop off like 20-25 more ( peep the respective rosters, they still have alotta useless 'talents' ) and reunite the rosters, forget this Raw \ Smackdown shit. Add an hour to Raw, get rid of Smackdown and everyone gets their shine on.

Cant understand the logic of employing so many wrestlers if they know eventually the company will have to fire some.  Now that WWE pretty much controls wrestling apart from lil shitty companys and Japan its unfair and unjust to release wrestlers IMO.  I mean whats Maven gunna do now? I would be mad pissed off if I was him.

Honestly i think maven's eye-brow plucking kept people from liking him, the moment i saw him come out all plucked and shit i didn't like him anymore, he looked like he could've been in that gay tag team with billy gunn and that chuck dude, peace.

Reason for some of the cuts:
Credit: PWTorch.com

- Although WWE appreciated Matt Morgan's work ethic and personality, the feeling was that he lacked natural ability or enough promise to remain on the roster.

- Charlie Haas' release was due to his perceived lack of charisma, which stood in the way of his becoming a top draw.

- Jackie Gayda's release, however, was largely a product of being far too outspoken backstage. "Her mouth got her into trouble," one wrestler said.

- As with Charlie Haas, Billy Kidman was seen as very limited in terms of charisma. His durability was also in question, as he'd been very injury prone in recent months.

Well, I don't keep myself updated with wrestling news or anything about wrestlers personal life. I didn't even KNOW she had a husband.

I remember he did some angle with the Undertaker. I think it was a one time deal.

As far as Edge goes, he jacks lots of stuff....people's finishers....people's girlfriends lol.
