Rico's Firing makes 10 in the last 4 days. Reports indicate there are 2 more firing that will take place.

As for Rico, its a huge loss, but I see AGE as the factor behind his firing.

Rico was a great worker, he just got stuck with a lame gimmick. I hope TNA picks him up.

I Hope Not. Those guys deserve alot more.

Remember years ago when everyone thought Val Venis was going to be the next big star?

I think it will be 2 more Smackdown stars because the Raw side is about 8 superstars smaller than the Smackdown side

There is a lot of Smackdown stars that could go:

Scotty 2 Hotty
Akio
Funaki
Shannon Moore
Nunzio
Basham Brothers
Hardcore Holly
Paul London
Torrie Wilson
Dawn Marie

Possible Raw Releases:

Val Venis
Steven Richards
Stacy Kiebler
Garrison Cade
Mark Henry
Tyson Tomko
Rosey

Torrie and Stacey is going to stay in the WWE for a while. Both of them will probably gonna be used as an "eye candy" or whatever they call it.

I Wouldnt mind Mark Henry being released at all. I Never cared for him.

Plus, Crappy Wrestling skills aside...Its hard to take a guy seriously when his 80 year old girlfriend gave birth to a hand on National Television.

I had heard Stacy Kiebler might be next due to her off-air relationship with Test, plus she is not skilled in wrestling like Trish, Lita, Victoria, and Molly Holly.

Torrie Wilson is very dis-liked backstage and she really does nothing for Smackdown anymore.

She's only used for like bra and panties and those type of matches and it gets boring seeing the same thing happen over and over.

Don't bet on Mark Henry getting released. The WWE would love to get rid of him and have tried to make him quit in the past. Hence the whole sexual Chocolate gimmick with the hand etc. The problem is, Henry was a multi million dollar contract that Vince would have to pay Henry if he is released.

It will probably be Rosey and Val Venis that gets let go. Billy Gunn has just signed with TNA. He will most likely make his debut this Sunday at Victory Road.

Awesome News. I'd Love to see a New Age Outlaws reunion.

As it is now, TNA's Tag division already whoops Both of WWE's Brands. The Only real teams WWE Has is the Dudleys (Who are way past their prime) And La Resistance (Who are EXTREMELY Stale).

The dudleys ain't past their prime. They're just used as lackeys, big mastake though by smackdown.

Dont get me wrong, I Still think they have alot to give as a tag team. But what they're doing right now as lackeys isnt very good.

Turning them face and having them put people through tables again would be even worse....That was getting extremely stale and overdone right before they were traded to Smackdown.

What they need is something new. The stuff with Paul Heyman this Summer was pretty good, But could only go on so long.

They had the best tag team gimmick in the WWE. The fan weren't tired of the Dudleys bringing out tables every week when they were faces and I think the fans will still buy it if the Dudleys are still doing their thing everyweek where they bring out the tables and such.

I hate to say it, but the Dudley's are washed up. They got stale as faces and now they are stale as heels.

Right now TNA has the better tag team division than WWE. WWE just doesn't see to care about the tag team titles on either brand. Neither side has a competive tag team division. TNA has a huge advantage with tag teams such as America's Most Wanted,Team Canada,3 Live Krew,Kid Kash&Dallas,The Naturals and Triple X. Looking forward to the Victory Road ppv tomorrow night.
