Cleaning house amidst scandal. Too bad I really liked Cryme Tyme. I thought they could have been a great tag team. Wonder the exact reason for their release?

I do not think it has anything to do with the scandal, but I would like to know why myself. It looked like they were getting another push as well. Something big must have happened over the weekend.

Wow, two of the most entertaining guys on Raw as of late and they release them.

And they had potential to be a great tag team. Oh wait ... tag team. Say no more, WWE seems to have no interest in that division any more.

Sad but true.

according to http://www.gerweck.net cryme tyme was released for geting into a fight with cade and murdoch

stupid i know but true

[Prowl76]

That is a freakin' lame reason to be released.

[Venomous Prime]

I also read that Cryme Tyme tried to auction off the belts to the crowd.

But that could have been part of the story lines

So ... Adam Copeland shags Matt Hardy's girlfriend in real life, they get into a lovely verbal sling war (did they eventually come to blows?) and Vince turns it into an angle on tv.

Cryme Tyme and their tv opponents get into a full blown punch up and they're released?

Seems like it would have made a better angle.

Excellent point there. WWE has been making dumb decisions for a long time now. Maybe in a while when this whole scandal crap blows over they will get their heads out of their a$$es.

Dumb is putting it nicely.

They're suspending top talents, others need to step up to take their places, instead, they fire them.

[Venomous Prime]

I'm making a list of wrestlers that are confirmed suspended...

I'm not counting Simon Dean since he got fired obviously.

Chavo Guerrero
Johnny Nitro
Umaga

Am I missing anyone else?

If that's all so far then there are still 10 left according to Stephanie McMahon who claims that there are 13 suspensions all together.

If its 11 like everyone else is saying then I am missing 8.

[Hotrod]

I believe you can add Edge and Helms to the list, but since they are both injured it really doesn't matter. I believe Kennedy is suspended as well.

[Prowl76]

Charlie Haas is suspended too as well as Regal I think.

[Heavy B]

i think snitsky is (or should be) suspended. i can see acne on his chest

[steve2275]

sheesh

[Venomous Prime]

The Umaga/Jeff Hardy match was the best match of the night.

I'm actually sad to see Umaga go

[Hotrod]

Well judging from last night's RAW the were able to write off Regal and Umage for 30 days and there has been a change in plans with Kennedy.

true

Ric Flair quit

yea. i dont care how great you are, mid 60's should be a retiring point in wrestling.

i would have loved to see title reign 17 though...

[Cyberstrike]

Please dear God don't let Ric Flair come to TNA.
TNA has enough problems with Kurt Angle and Pacman Jones as it is.

I think 16 championship wins is enough, personally. But I agree, Ric Flair should've retired a while ago. It's amazing he's still fit enough at his age to this, but it's also sort of sad to see a guy of that age in his robes and trunks wrestling. I wasn't a big fan of Flair either, but that's besides the point.

As for TNA, if they feel the need for Flair so they can have more "established names", what confidence does that show guys like Sting, Christian Cage, Kurt Angle and the other castaways? Aren't they enough for them?

Sting and Christian aren't exactly cast aways....

Ok, guys who went from big wrestling promotions to a small uprising company who were all too happy to snap them up.

Christian went from the WWE to TNA because he doesn't want to travel anymore.

and Sting hates Vince McMahon.

Both have good reasons to be there
