Most Surprising Release

[Sanchez]

Of the latest crop of releases which surprised you the most

 

[PARANoIR]

None. All garbage. I'm just glad they didn't release Elijah Burke to go with Turkay.

Getting rid of Turkay is fair enough, he did nothing.

 

[Jono078]

Actually I was watching Smackdown today.

And for some reason it popped up in my head, what ever happend to the Simon System dude?

 

[PARANoIR]

Has an office job now.

 

[stuke]

none from that list will be missed.

 

[Misanthrope]

A bit shocked by Terkay, given the push he was given. But I guess with the move to ECW and Angle gone, there wasn't much they could use him for.

 

[Once Dead]

Terkay was what the WWE loves but just doesn't have time for at the moment....

 

[Big Pete]

Terkay surprises me, as CWB said he was pushed as a one of the top guys in ECW but I personally won't miss me. Didn't have the look IMO.

Mamaluke is dissapointing, FBI were a good tag team when given a chance (ECW ONSII).

 

[lotm]

i'm with cwb and pete - terkay was surprising. i'm also surprised they couldn't find al snow an office job or road agent job.

 

[PARANoIR]

Al Snow's just been fired as a Wrestler, he's staying on as a trainer in OVW.

 

[Agent Mulder]

Takanta was released yesterday, That would be the most surprising for me as it seemed he was as good as he was in the early 90s, and i do have a soft spot for the guy, he did go underdefeated for a year.

 

[Perrymatta]

None of them, none of them done anything.

 

[Misanthrope]

That is a shock. He's been getting more TV time than deserved lately, so I figured maybe they'd decided to stick with him. He'd done a pretty good job in the ring, I thought.

 

[Big Pete]

Yeah Tantanka was a shock. I only just realised he was the 90's Tatanka after reading his profile, never knew that. I guess that's why everyone flamed me when I thought it was nice some of the newer talent (Which I though Tatanka was) getting a push when he turned on Lashley.

I don't mind really though, Tatanka never really did much for me in the ring.

 

[Eelectrica]

Tatanka surprise me.
What really surprises me though is that dead wood like Viscera is still there.
Pity Kahli wasn't on the list as well.

 

[Raider_69]

tatanka is past it, not sure why they brought him back to begin with. But definitely the most surprising release for mine

 

[lotm]

Takanta was released yesterday

are you sure? i read a report that his name was put up on wwe.com, but was subsequently taken down. i don't think it's confirmed.

those big guys may not be great in the ring, but they do serve a purpose - anyone who defeats them has instant credibility. it doesn't matter how many times the big blokes job out, if a newbie scores a pin over them, it can only be a good thing.

 

[lotm]

forget what i said about tatanka. he gone.

 

[PARANoIR]

I agree on the Viscera front, he does add credibility to anyone that beats him.

And it's obvious why Val Venis stays, because he can make just about anyone look awesome.

 

[Sanchez]

tatanka was useless.
