Wow! I knew that WWE was getting ready for another round of cuts but Maven, Kidman and Spike? Not Heidenreich, not Snitsky, not Rosey? Ugh!
Wiggs loses 2 guys (Jindrak and Maven). Just what he needs huh? :(

i really expected this Jindrak trade to Raw to be a huge thing. Why would they bother including him in the trade just to waive him?

Was Fertig "Mordecai"?
Kidman and Maven top my 'wow' list in terms of surprise.

According to Great One, same with the Dudleys!
This is all making sense now. These "cut from WWE" wrestlers will unite to form ECW. Owned of course by WWE. So while technically they are gone, they really aren't.

Marty Janetty from the Rockers? Did him and Shawn Michaels ever team back up? I saw Hulk and Michaels team up the other night while flipping through the channels.

Janetty never got a chance to really make an impact after he was brought back earlier this year.
i hear there are legal issues related to the reason for his release, which, considering his drug history, isn't a shock.

It was noted on PW Insider that these releases are scattered out because it seems like they want to contact the people before making their releases public.
In related news, Funaki, Hardcore Holly, Scotty 2 Hotty, Val Venis, Al Snow and Nunzio's phones are all reportedly broken.

yeah, actually Big Vito got signed which means Nunzio is probably safe as thats at least a natural tag team for the SD roster...
Never would have guessed he'd have any value at all when I got him.

can someone confirm this for me... I think I may be reading too much into this - or one particular phrase anyway...
Marty Jannetty was released because of a domestic incident that occurred with his partner. He was subsequently jailed.

you're reading too much into it, and i think it's inaccurate besides.
this makes much more sense, since it was like 4 weeks ago...

Major Edit To SmackDown! Tonight Due To Terrorist Attack
By Ryan Clark, WrestlingInc.com Staff
The U.K edition of SmackDown! will be edited tonight due to thee terrorist attacks in London today. If you want to know what the hack we are talking about, read down to the SmackDown! spoilers posted way down the newsboard.
We are not sure about the U.S version of the show as the tape was already sent to UPN. If the show is edited, UPN would be the one to do so.
