If we're thinking of people who need their walking papers it definitely needs to be the Nastys (who the fuck wants to see these dudes in a feud with the Duddleys?). Then trim some fat with letting Sharky Boy, Rhino, that fuck hole Deaner dude, Consequences Creed, and the lot of unknown, untalented dudes. Personally I'd throw Eric Young and Matt Morgan to the curb as Tomko is everything Morgan isn't and Eric Young, I just don't see any redeeming qualities in. I'd hire folks like Joey fuckin Ryan (who I'd team up with Valbowski) or Brian Kendrick, both of whom can talk and wrestle. Paul London can wrestle, but TNA has enough dudes like that already.
If Vince has proved anything it's that he's a vindictive asshole. Look what they're doing to Mickie amidst rumors of her leaving to pursue music. Who do you think he's going to be taking his frustrations over losing Jeff out on? I'll give you a hint, he's got the same last name.
AND he's rumored to be leaving on top of that? Pshhhh, forget about it.
Well it wouldn't be much of a downgrading for Matt anyways, Vince has always thought of him on a much lower level than Jeff. Remember how much shit the poor guy had to endure when the Edge/Lita thing was made public and turned into an angle? He went nowhere after that. Outside of the ECW title reign and his feud with Jeff, the last four years have been basically filled with valleys for poor Matt, he just doesn't have the "it" that Jeff has.
As far as Helms goes, he can still go and would actually make a good addition to the X division and he's still got some identity too. Just don't pai
