I've confirmed with several sources that Ernest Miller was informed he was being released at last night's Smackdown taping in Tacoma, Washington. Miller had handled commentary duties on Velocity prior to being moved into the Smackdown roster as a full-time worker. His lone PPV match for the company was at the Royal Rumble last month in Philadelphia.
Miller joins Zach Gowen and Chris Kanyon as talent released from WWE within the last week. It is believed one of the reasons so many talents are being released is that several workers from OVW will be brought up to the main roster shortly.
SOMEBODY CALL MY MOMMA! Oh well, he's been nothing more than comedic relief recently, so I'm not too upset about it.
Aww man! And I was seriously getting entertained by Miller and Lamont. Oh well...hope the Cat can dance for...
Wait a sec...would any SERIOUS wrestling promotion actually pick this guy up?
Edge: So it shouldn't be long before I come back, since Smackdown's gonna need another main eventer. Funaki: There's always Bob Holly. Edge: HAHAHAHAHAHA!! What? You're serious? DUDE! How long have I been out???
FUCK YOU VINCE! FUCK THE MCMAHONS! Ernest Miller gets released and that piece of shit Randy Orton gets a WrestleMania match with Mick Foley? I swear I'm THISCLOSE to quitting wrestling, THISCLOSE. I'd follow him to TNA, if he goes there, but I don't wanna actually have to PAY to support someone I like. Fucking WWE.
Eh, I liked him as color man on Velocity, but after his segment got edited out of last week's Smackdown!, I think the writing was pretty much on the wall. Not sure why WWE brought him in at all.

Aw hell, I was really hoping they'd keep him around long enough to get into the next Smackdown game. His entrance music wouldn't be quite as great for my own as Reverend D-Von's was, but it'd do just fine.
This is yet to be confirmed. The only site I've seen announce it so far is pwinsider.com, which isn't exactly wrestlingobserver or pwtorch. Even 1bullshit has stated that it isn't confirmed yet.
I'm not saying it isn't true. I'm just saying that all you Cat-haters shouldn't to get your hopes up just yet.

Now that's odd. Didn't we just see a report two weeks ago saying that WWE was upset with the OVW roster and weren't going to be taking any of them for a while?
Seriously I don't think dropping Kanyon, the Cat, or Zach means they're opening spots up as much as trimming down for now. At least I hope that's what it means. Beyond Dinsmore, Nova, and maybe one or two others, there really isn't anyone ready to come up from OVW right now - they got nearly wiped out last year when WWE brought a lot of the guys in.

I heard that the wig is going to be inserted into the HHH/HBK/Benoit match, just in case. look for the wig to be the next superstar to jump from smackdown.....
Ernest Miller's time in the Royal Rumble was the funniest WWE moment I can remember for a while...I missed him getting tossed out, I was laughing so hard.
After every single pay per view, I come on here and read how shitty the crowd was. LAst night's crowd was good. Period. This is something I've wanted to get off my chest for awhile now, so here goes. Get over it. You're not there.
