Well WWE did some spring cleaning this week, dropping half a dozen people...
Rhyno - Got axed for making an ass of himself at the hotel during WM21 weekend. Argued with his wife in the lobby and smashed up a potted plant. Not a huge loss, while slightly popular, he just wasn't going to get much of a push unless they brought back the Hardcore title.
Matt Hardy - The biggest of the layoffs, likely got canned for making public the affair between Edge and Lita, which is ridiculous but the E has a strict abhorrence of the net. A shame really, cause he was a solid midcard guy who could work a good match with most wrestlers and would have given a boost to the IC or US title scene.
Paul Bearer - Yeah even after getting buried in concrete, he was still on the payroll. Obviously they needed to trim the fat here.
Jesus - If you blinked you missed him, he was Carlito's bodyguard on Smackdown at the end of 04, but got injured and had to have surgery. Don't know much about him other than it's way lame to fire a guy while he's out with an injury caused while working for you.
Chilly Willy - Former ECW guy, was in OVW on a developmental deal. Likely just wasn't what they were looking for.
Molly Holly - Word is, she asked to be released as she wasn't happy with how her career was going in the E. While I can agree with that, seeing that she shaved herself bald at WMXX in a hot angle, and they NEVER followed up with it. But she has little options in the US, women's wrestling isn't that big and the only possible place here to go would be TNA which has no women's division. She could hit Japan where apparently the women are all the rage.
Now only if they would let go of Heidenreich, Snitsky, Dorkboy and Shawn Michaels, the cleaning could be complete....
