stacey in tna would that work?

If she's moving beyond wrestling, I highly doubt she's just go to another promotion

I think the point is Stacey might be moving beyond pro wrestling.

There are no longer plans for Homicide to proceed with surgery on his injured shoulder. Homicide has been continuing with his intensive rehabilitation for the last 5-6 weeks. He injured his shoulder prior to his TNA debut at a Ring of Honor show in New York City last December.

This is good, he'll still be able to work the Mar. 25th UXW show.

I don't even want to think about the MITB match, just not something I want to see again.

From WWE.com:

After further medical consultation, it was decided that due to the spiral crack in her left fibula, Ashley would need surgery. The 2005 RAW Diva Search winner underwent successful surgery to have a plate placed in her leg and is already on the road to recovery. Ashley is out of surgery but will be in a cast for four weeks. After getting out of the cast, she will require four weeks of rehabilitation.

She suffered the spiral fracture of the left fibula while competing in the Diva Battle Royal on RAW Monday night to determine a No. 1 Contender for the Women’s Championship. She was one of the final two Divas eliminated when Candice pushed her and Mickie James over the top rope. Ashley landed awkwardly on her leg causing the break.

Ashley really looks like she's been improving lately, I'm glad the surgery went well.

Following her rise to stardom as a contestant on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars," Stacy Keibler's future as a member of WWE's roster is being called into question.

Although Stacy Keibler told Larry King Live that she will return to WWE shortly after the conclusion of the ABC competition, few within the industry believe she will remain with WWE over the long-term.

When it became clear that Stacy Keibler has a promising future outside of WWE, the company's website actually took down all references to her presence on the reality show. Keibler's contract expires soon, and there is absolutely no optimism about her agreeing to a renewal.

WWE.com later decided to resume pushing Stacy Keibler's performance on the show for public relations purposes, but the company's outlook on the Diva's future has not changed.

In that case, I hope Stacey wins DWTS. Not that I won't miss her in WWE, but I want her out of that business and into something better before she joins the ranks of effed-up ex-valets like Elizabeth, Debra, Sunny and Joanie Laurer.

I figured Stacy to leave afterwards. She's getting alot of attention because of the show. Plus, it doesn't hurt that she's extremely hot. I din't know what specific ventures she could go. The only time I've noticed Kelly Monaco since she won were a Maxim shoot and when she wsa complaining (jealous of) about Stacy. I'm sure somebody will push something her way. Besides, it's not as WWE has her doing anything other than walking around.

From WWE.com:

Wicks, Tolland released
February 22, 2006


WWE has come to terms on the release of both Chad Wicks and John Tolland who wrestled as “The *****.” We wish them the best in all future endeavors.

Not that I'm sad or anything, but WWE seems to be on a low carder/jobber firing binge lately. Especially since the ***** debuted only a few months ago.

 

[Eric Draven]

The ***** looked like a decent enough tag team. The problem was they were a team called the *****


Although it could've been worse. They could've put the two in flesh-colored body-suits head to toe like the Gymini in TNA

 

[Mister J]

You think they would be trying to foster tag teams instead of showing them the door after only a short while.

Meanwhile, Simon Dean and Tyson Tomko still have jobs.

 

[Eric Draven]

I kind of like Simon Dean. He's a pretty funny-character and makes a great jobber to the stars. And I hear that he was supposedly a great wrestler in ECW.....

 

[Mister J]

I don't doubt that Dean is talented, but they haven't done anything with him. He jobs occasionally and gets clowned for his Simon System stuff. Now, he's supposed to be a manager. I don't get it. For the longest, I thought he was hurt and unable to compete. They apparently just don't have anything for him. That's more of the reason why I'm surprised he still has a job.

He invented more moves in ECW than most people do in their entire career. It's sad that he's a ridiculously gimmicky jobber now.

Totally agree with D1cks comment. They looked as if they were going to at least trying to build their lower/mid-card titles on SD! The CW title is slowley but surley picking up steam. & what else can I say, but MNM are having the best matches every Tues.. err... I mean Friday. Is anyone surprised that the HeartThrobs & The D1cks flopped? It's because the Homoerotic/Sexy-guy/Male Stripper gimmick is dead. & Too Much killed it (pre-2 Cool tag-team, So obscure & lame that they fired them & completley re-invented them to the great mark of the Atitude era they became) A good idea for the D1cks is instead of strippers, Make them *****. if you have to gimmick them up the make them Frat-Boys ( not literal Frat-Boys but college @$$holes) People who are so vapid & shallow with polo shirts, Khakis, trucker cap, They can play Hacki-sack baackstage, make their music something like HelloGoodbye or Yellowcard (something gay like that). & their Kayfabe heat can be people going "Man, those guys are *****."

As for The latter, Yes, Tomko sucks major hairy balls. But Nova has done so much From his fitness gimmick in the early ninties, To being one of the founding members of 2 of the biggest stables in ECW (bWo, & J.O.B. Squad both of which transfered to the WWE at one point or another) I wish Simon Dean gets some form a heel push or Bring in Stevie (who has no tbeen released just at home not being used in anyway. Which is awful) & tag with Nova (even if Meanie isn't around they can still tag them in a new form It would just be great to see them together)

 

[Maximus One]

wait lemme get this right dean is nova?!?! i cant belive i didnt realize this sooner i feel like such a ****ing idiot

 

[Sabretooth]

I'm suprised Doug and Danny Basham still have jobs. Ever since they split up,have they even showed up on Raw or Smackdown?

My crystal ball predicts that they're next on the list. There's absolutely nothing I can think of that would put the Basham's to use.

 

[Eric Draven]

One of the Bashams is on Velocity with a Rob Conway-type gimmick. The other Basham is developing this kinda supernatural (or something like that) gimmick that he had before in OVW....

 

[Hunter Rider]

There apparently is set to be a number of cuts,names mentioned are Val Venis,Viscera,Snitzky,Conway,Dupree and Scotty 2 Hotty

Supernatural? I think Boogeyman and (sometimes) Taker are enough with the supernatural. And Boogey pushes it sometimes. Speaking of Conway, where the **** has that guy been?

 

[Sarge 2.0]

Yeah, I knew that every single one of these guys would get the axe sooner or later. Scotty I'm a little suprised with, though. Last Smackdown it almost looked like he would make a comeback. For whatever reason, he's still crazy over.

 

[Sabretooth]

My crystal ball predicts that they're next on the list. There's absolutely nothing I can think of that would put the Basham's to use.

They seem to be a pretty good tag team. It's just that someone,either themselves or WWE,is feeding them these stupid gimmick changes and none of them seem to work.

 

[The Ghoul]

edit: slow post

Besides, Venis, Scotty & Vis I'm happy with the cuts. But only if they give Scotty the CW belt & move the other two to SD! & build their Playboy tag team SERIOUSLY.

 

[Eric Draven]

Yeah, goth gimmick, not supernatural. My mistake. I know he used to be known as Damaja, but that was about it
