The following has been posted on WWE.com:
World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of ECW Superstar Braden Walker as of August 7, 2008. WWE wishes Braden the best in all future endeavors.
'Braden Walker' is Chris Harris from TNA. He was formerly one-half of the TNA tag team champions along with his partner James Storm.
Why they brought him up to the main roster, out of shape, in crap ring gear with zero fan fare I don't know, part their fault, part his for letting himself go...
someone else could be going to....
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Bob "Hardcore" Holly may be on his way out of WWE. Holly, who is now 45 years old, is not being used on WWE TV right now and it's being reported that creative has no plans to use him in the near future. It is believed that Holly would need someone like The Undertaker to vouch for his return to the ring, and if something like that does not happen, he may not have a chance at returning. Holly is known for working very stiff in the ring and carries an old-school philosophy of making rookies earn their "stripes" by working them over very hard during bouts. Vince McMahon has always had a good relationship with Bob Holly, which is why he always seems to bounce back following absences, but this time around some backstage are not so sure that will happen again.

I agree and think Rookies should have to earn the respect. to be the man you have to beat the man. Holly has always been a team player, and if he works some punk from FCW who thinks his xcrap dont stink Holly is doing us all a favor. Now while I wasnt a big fan of him and Rhodes Together I like Holly as a Mid Carder for shows.
Chris Harris was a huge disappointment, when I heard months ago WWE signed him and he was working in a development for them I was excited. and Like I said before his entrance is bland, nothing unique to what his in ring rear he is wearing, No real storyline or plot except he was there under the ECW working plan. He should of spent the months working extra hard to make it at the WWE level, not just get signed by WWE and think you made it and not work hard anymore. Wonder if TNA will let him come back.

On top of Braden Walker yesterday, WWE have now released 5 wrestlers and 1 referee.
Big Daddy V, Domino, Shannon Moore, Nunzio, development wrestler James Curtis and referee Nick Patrick.
Nick Patrick has recently been suffering from back injuries and Big Daddy V has had health issues including weight problems and Pneumonia.
More names are expected to be released over the next day or two.
Not Shannon Moore!! What were they thinking!

Triple C....
Cliff "Cash" Compton
, that's it
I'm done with
WWE
, they've crossed the line.
Edit: Weird I was so pissed about that I only noticed reading a report on another site that
Nunzio
is gone to, that completely bypassed my the first time. I always saw him as a member of the jobber elite club, with
Funaki
,
Venis
and well
Scotty
but he bit the bullet last year. Next year it could be Venis.....

WWE hasn't released an official statement on the recent releases. We can confirm that there will be more talent released this afternoon.

Oh and your comments above about how to do a storyline, just follow the HBK/Jericho storyline thats how you do it right
Lol, i'll pretend you didnt say that
'my eye...I'll never wrestle again....untill I.....come back and cost you the world title at the
No Talent
No Mercy PPV'
That the good WWE matches can even be remembered shows how few there are - TNA has so many I couldnt even take a stab at listing them, instead I'd just point to any ep at random. Anything with Angle, AJ, Joe is of the higest order everyweek
I loved WWE once...
...now....i sit and endure Smackdown and i think to myself 'was this the best use of 2 hrs of my time'?
Its so bland
The company is now based around the lucrative 10 year old market - selling spinning belts and glow sticks
They are going though the motions, established stars look tired and the prosepctive stars are forced to wrestle and act like the tired older wrestlers they are there to replace
It needs to get its edge back - and it will never do that while its emphasis is families
Remember Attitude? That was Vince realising the marketplace had turned with a more edgy adult program now required
...that hasn't changed
You can sell glow sticks, entertain families and do a good product
..just ask a 1998 Stone Cold Steve Austin

Watching Smackdown this week...and its ''dearth'' of talent
I really like Kendrick - but why is he forced to wrestle like Jone Cena (i.e badly)
He can do the flips and spins - let him do them!
That Russian guy - he's got potential - give him some intresting ring attire, an intresting entrace - some personality, and damn put him up against someone worth beating
They could put together an AMAZING US title scene - MVP, Matt and Jeff Hardy, Kendrick, Benjamin etc etc
From that scene you could then draw your next WWE champion
They have the cards...but just wont play them

That's his character though. He's not there to entertain or be happy. He just shows up, kicks people's asses, then leaves. Nothing needs to be said. I do agree about giving him better competition. But even
he
's asking for better opponents now (
) so hopefully that will change.
About the releases: Nunzio was always gonna be released at some point (you can only be a member of the 'jobber elite club' so long...). BDV I'm kinda surprised about but if he has health problems then that explains it. I thought they would have kept Shannon Moore teaming up with Jimmy Wang Yang. I suppose the cruiserweights will slowly disappear now that they have no title. James Curtis I think I heard of once but that's it. And it seems that WWE's new thing is to break up tag teams and release one of the members (Murdoch, now Domino). Paul London better watch out....

I thought you loved
Biscuits and Gravy
?
I liked how they teased a
Kozlov
vs
Festus
feud, not a wrestling clasic by any means, but a hosstacular peace of entertainment for sure.

^Biscuits n' Gravy are indeed awesome and the first 'real' opponents for Vlad (Funaki and Stevie Richards haven't won a match in.... I don't know how long).
Kozlov/Festus would be quite interesting. Unstoppable force and the immovable object 2.0??

I'm still waiting for the inevitable
"Ring Bell on a Pole"
match where the opponent has to get to the bell and ring it to tame
Festus
and then collect the easy victory
And how long before Festus ends up in a romance angle, you know with the bedroom scenes where for laughs his Diva date hits a ring bell to turn him into a Wild Animal....
....there are so many comedy lows they could hit with this.

TNA this week was just incredible
If ever people wanted an introduction - this was it
MCM vs Jay Leathel and Creed - ridiculously good, absurdly brilliant - they were hurtling around the ring with so many moves it was exhausting even watching! Creed is an absolute gem (though dressed as Apollo Creed...oh wait, i just got that one...)
Team 3D are so fantastic on the Mic, they play the role of thugs just so well - they way they abuse that blonde chic every week, cracks me up - she always looks so shocked, hilarious!
Hardcore women's matches - who'd have ever thought it?
The whole show is just saturated with meaningful feuds - Angle v Styles has built up brilliant for months, and Joe v Sting will be THE fued.
I just love the pure evil of 'The beautiful people' - again, it just cracks me up - the evil bimbo has never been portrayed so well, a genuine FEMALE heel? Remarkable.
...and Kurt's injury in the main event - that was no blade job (as the abundant camera angles showed) - the refs were in that ring fast, I couldn't believe the amount of blood that came out so fast, looked like he severed a vein - AJ Styles didnt look like he had any idea what to do next!
I watch TNA for the full 2 hrs without hitting the fast forward button once (well, okay adverts) RAW and Smackdown I manage to condense to about 20 mins....
The tag division is great at the mo, bringing in big guns like Christian and Rhyno only help
That ''glass table'' - I'm not sure what it was made of but it cut Homicide to bits - he was bleeding all over the place, if it can cut the skin it could damage an eye, what a contrast to WWE's 'for gods sake do nothing dangerous' stance.....
At the end of the day its the characters that make the show - TNA has good faces but it has perfected the heel wrestler. Sonjay is sooo creepy and manipulative, I liked him as a face but a heel is really where he shines.
What are TNA up to with Kaz and Abyss? I dont believe Kaz is actually leaving....
Abyss and his rather random interventions are always a highlight (though why he intervenes when most of the damage has already been done). The way the security guard took his chair - you just knew what was coming!
We just have to see a Kong v Abyss match - c'mon ya bastards, that would really cross the line!
and where is Father James Mitchell *cough Paul Bearer cough* I loved his eyebrows!
TNA TNA TNA - i just love it

TNA goes back to the OOOOOOOLD SCHOOL WCW (before Hogan turned Heel) in the way they realize that Good HEELS can build the company.
