Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ The OFFICAL Moving On thread for TNA/WWE, 6/11/10: ODB quits TNA

[jaderock]

Reported today that Umaga was released or "quit" ...one way of another, he can hook up with Somoa Joe!

[jaderock]

Vicki Guerrero quit the promotion and they wrote her off on RAW in a quick and mean spirited way. All in all, I really liked Vicki and she was excellent in her role. Not sure if this is an angle or a hiatus.

[osufan2383]

Vickie gave her notice a while back as she is said to be tired of the travel and would like to spend more time with her daughters. She was very effective in her role as a heel GM and the door will remain open for her return down the line. As for Umaga, I can't help but think there is more to the story than he just asked for his release or he was fired. I'm going to see what I can find out and report back. Lots of shake ups lately with the departures of Kennedy, Vickie, and Umaga along with the impending return of Chris Masters, the heel turn of CM Punk, and yet another injury to Batista. If Kennedy was considered injury prone, what does that make big Dave? The Animal is just a little too old to be carrying around that much muscle mass and it is starting to take its toll.

[osufan2383]

kennedy was becoming a liability in the ring, that is why he was let got. Supposedly it was from a move he did on orton (which he got hurt) and almost reinjured orton's neck. Orton was annoyed, but just talked to kennedy he did not yell at him or complain about what happened.

WWE has issued this statement via wwe.com:

As reported on WWE.com on Monday, June 8, 2009, WWE Superstar Umaga (Edward Fatu) has been released from his World Wrestling Entertainment contract.

However, consistent with the practice of announcing wellness policy violations, it should be noted that Umaga's termination was due to his second violation of the WWE Wellness Program and his subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility.

[osufan2383]

kennedy is already talking about going to tna once his non-compete clause. Which i do think that is unfair to the wrestler if he gets canned.

[osufan2383]

as of today both candice and sim snuka have been released from their wwe contracts. could have seen both coming. Esp snuka since he was never really a great talent

Candice went from Playboy Cover to Women's Champ to injury to out the door. Next!

Btw, WWE put out feelers for new women announcers...Lilian Garcia may be on her way out in a year or two...that would be sad.

[osufan2383]

as good as lillian is, she messed up on alot of stuff when it comes to entrances. that is her biggest problem and come on everybody she was dating big daddy v and did not want to dump him (another excellent love story line in wwe). I dunno which one is better that or mae young delivering a hand

[osufan2383]

so would we consider santina getting fired a cut or just a storyline ending. up to you guys.

[jaderock]

As menyioned in another thread...it's was reported that:

Lilian Garcia announced today that she had told WWE she would be leaving the company when her contract expires later this year. She said she decided to get married and that was the reason for her decision.

Angela Fong, who actually had more potential as a wrestler than any woman in developmental, has been given tryouts on the road in recent weeks for the spot. That's also the reason WWE put up that they were looking for a new singer/ring announcer. Backstage the talk this afternoon was if they don't find a singer, that the front-runner if Taryn Terrell (ECW interim G.M. Tiffany). There was also talk today that Garcia's tenure with the company will not be much longer.

[dodgerblue38501]

"The" Brian Kendrick is the latest WWE Superstar to get "The" boot. Kendrick was being featured on RAW since the draft and had worked as recently as this past Monday. Expect him to work in Japan and TNA when his no-compete clause is up.

[dodgerblue38501]

"Eugene" Nick Dinsmore is the latest WWE cut. He was hired back by the company last month to work with younger talent but has been let go already.

That's because he lost to Calgary Kid in a RAW contract match

Dang...am I the only one that LOVED Don West on commentary?!? Maybe it's cause I followed him from his Shop at Home Days!!!

Anyway today's TNA Impact taping was his last and will be replaced by Taz (ugh). Taz never added much on Smackdown in my view and I did vote for him as worst announcer in the last two years Wrestling Observer Awards. To me, this is a MAJOR step down as Tenay and West were always excellent together whether agreeing or "fighting" with one another.

You must have seen something in that duo that I did not. I absolutely hated the announcing on TNA and that is the sole reason why I have never really watched their product. I will tune in now that the yelling and hard selling TV pitchman is no longer trying to over-sell the action.
