yes but normally they wait till after the draft. I get why Burchill & Helms were released, there not being used why pay them to sit at home. But most of the time they wait till after the Draft because during the draft so and so goes to another brand and they have a new fued. Then again since Burchill lost the loser leaves ECW and Helms was technically a free agent with the "closing" or ECW I guess they could have done this anyways so yeah I guess it makes scense for those two.

Maria's is still a mystery though. Again got to assume she requested her release

If Hurricane goes to TNA, all they need is Matt and let the madness begin

Yup, so they can replace talented, uncharismatic X division workers like Homicide and the Machine Guns with fat, over the hill, uncharismatic former cruiserweights like Hardy and Helms? Yup, madness indeed.

Burchill is 50-50, he used to show glimpses of talent five years ago. But now he's fat. Lazy. Slow. But that can be from no motivation, who knows. I think he'd be better off in Japan than the cesspool that is TNA.
 

Great One

Yeah, here's hoping he gets back in shape and gets his shity together. I would love to see him work a character much more than Abyss. Kinda reminds me of Pope, Burchill had a thing going too and WWE wouldn't let him run with his ideas, which is why like Burke, I think Burchill could benefit hugely if TNA gave him the chance as well. Jordan, Morley, etc. can fuck off.

Fuck yes go to TNA. There is no way in hell they can be used worse in TNA then they were in the WWE. Two great talents just dropped by the WWE.

Get ready for it...


you know it's coming...


Move aside! There's a typhoon on the way!

Lmao!!

Hurricane is meh with me. He's alright but I don't think he's as good as others say. As far as Burchill goes, the guys actually pretty good and can go in the ring. If he does go to TNA, I think he'll be pretty good.

Don't care about Hurricane, though I'm sure with Jeff and Shannon in TNA he's a lock to be there soon.

Shit, Burchill kinda sucks though. Such an amazingly talented guy. Hopefully TNA will pick him up and showcase what he can do. A bad ass tag team with Wolfe would be AMAZING.

That's actually a good idea. Seeing as though Wolfe was just buried by The Abyss last night, it looks like he has nothing big in his future for sometime anyway.

Homicide has charisma sir. Birchill has packed on alot of pounds. I think there is too much recylcling going on in wrestling right now, the people to scout are fresh young guys in OVW, FCW, Japan, Mexico, etc. That goes for WWE and TNA

While I do agree both companies need to be looking at younger guys, it simply just costs more money and more of a gamble to try and build up a no name than it is/does to take someone people already know and who already has a fanbase and push them.

Oh and WWE writers can't seem to get over the ADD with new guys (Swagger, Bourne, possibly Shaemus, ect,ect)

How can you guys not care about Helms? Sure he sucked lately but he was the shit as Gregory Helms. Hopefully he goes back to his GH attitude in TNA.

Shame about the both of them. I though both were pretty talented, Yes they have but on a bit of weight lately probably down to the fact they have done jack shit for awhile.

If they do indeed go to TNA then it's a gain for TNA. I bet there is more releases to come yet before and after the draft.

I don't seen why these two get fired yet there's still all the other crap talent still with jobs.

Burchill is a beast, I really do hope he goes to TNA, he'd probably be thrown into a team with Terry or Magnus though :smh If they gave Burchill a chance I think he could do well over there. Hurricane isn't all that young so I wouldn't wanna see him get a huge push over there, even though he's a good worker, not sure if he'd even go to TNA since his Ex-Bitch Velvet is over there.
