I got to think Tommy Dreamer is the next one to get the axe. Its a shame, because he always was willing to put over someone else before him and did anything they ever asked.
So, lets get the rumor mill started. To quote Goldberg:
they can't axe Dreamer, he's one of the most respected guys in the locker room. He was (not sure if he still is) involved with some creative work in the booking end as well...I like all of you would LOVE to see Dreamer get put into a meaningful program.
Maybe if the WWE actually (I doubt it) does try a third saturday night brand, guys like Dreamer could flourish.
I have this inkling that as long as Heyman retains any kind of sway whatsoever Tommy's job will be safe as houses. He could even end up being moved to the developmentals as a trainer-I just don't see them cutting him loose. Possible danger-zone occupants? Ultimo Dragon-sadly, Jon Heidenreich, a slew of developmental guys...really, there aren't any people that I could see them axing and not being justified. I'm sure they'll try and prove me wrong on that, however.

Geemoney, do you know how long-term Heidenreich's contract is? I mean, are we looking forward to a Mark Henry-level of employment? But yeah, Ultimo Dragon is almost a sure thing not to get renewed.
Guys like Heidenreich and Jordan could be sent back to OVW for some more seasoning, but I doubt they're just going to be flatout released. Ivory and Jacqueline have done absolutely nothing of note in recent memory, although they could have some use as mentors to the younger women wrestlers on the roster. Funaki's job now seems to be the designated Velocity jobber, and the cruiserweight division is deep enough to handle his loss, so I think he'll be the next to go (if any).

Not sure how long- all I've heard is "long-term", which I would assume is at least 3 years. I doubt he got 10 years like Henry, but if it's around that......may God have mercy on us all.

Say goodbye to useless WCW castoffs like Bill DeMott and Sean O'Haire. I'm also not seeing an upside to Shannon Moore, as without Mattitude, he's pretty much dead in the water. I would LIKE to think that Jindrak and Cade are also on the chopping block, but Raw's so low on tag teams that they're jobs are pretty secure.
Also consider jobbers just taking up space like Val Venis and Lance Storm.
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???

They can't get rid of Jindrak & Cade ... Those guys have to potential to be the top tag team on RAW within the next few months ... Sure, their mic work isn't superb, but it has gotten better.

Yeah, but Henry's so far spent most of his employment in WWE either injured or in OVW, so I don't mind him so much. That said, I still can't forgive him for impregnating Mae Young.
I don't suppose WWE would throw me a bone and ax Bob Holly, would they? :-(

Naw, he's the "locker room enforcer" with Bradshaw, plus his hoss-icity shot up 25% during his feud with Lesnar.
the worst part of this latest round of axing is that the b shows have been using jobbers, when perfectly healthy (and better) wreslters are being let go because there is no place/program for them acoording to WWE.
Originally posted by T.i.O a B.m.FI dont know bout Jindrak but Cade is set. In a interview Jim Ross was asked who to look out for in the new year and he said Garrison Cade.
Maybe after Wrestlemania, they'll break up the team and let them feud, ending with loser leaves WWE, literally. Booking is done based on who gets over.

If they broke them up, I don't think anyone would care. They have to book them in a feud/angle for people to care about them first. Hell, they haven't been on RAW in weeks (wrestling, anyway).

Well that and he's better...IMO...then all these other guys mentioned put together. It's a shame that they dropped him in a DQ with Ryhno this week on SD! after the sweet ass match he pulled out against Angle last week...*sigh*
Holly also got a huge pop..along with Bradshaw...at the house show I was at on Monday...while the likes of Ultimo Dragon, Shannon Moore and Matt Morgan got nothin' but crickets and were also a big pile of suck in the ring
Hey if anyone read the Misawa vs Kobashi thread they would know that i was going to buy the tape with wrestling for the GHC title but i can't get the tapes as the american tapes won't work on british video players.
