World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of the following talent. WWE wishes them all the best in their future endeavors.


Sylvester Terkay

A decorated Mixed Martial Arts fighter and three-time All-American, the man-bear Sylvester Terkay is the 1993 NCAA Division I National Heavyweight Champion. While in WWE, Terkay registered several notable victories.

Christopher W. Anderson

The rugged southpaw Christopher W. Anderson found his greatest successes in the original ECW before he returned with the new breed this past summer.

Jazz

An ECW original, Jazz left her mark on the WWE’s Women’s Division. A former champion, her biggest win came at WrestleMania X8, where she defeated Trish Stratus and Lita to retain her title.

Rodney Mack

Rodney Mack’s most recent tenure with WWE was spent as a mentor to the Superstars of tomorrow. A veteran of the squared circle, Mack assisted in the development of the careers of several young members of the ECW roster.

Tony Mamaluke

Extremist Tony Mamaluke earned his greatest achievements in the original ECW, capturing the ECW World Tag Team Championship. Alongside his fellow Paesan Little Guido and ECW Diva Trinity, Mamaluke competed with new breed Extremists as a member of the Full Blooded Italians.

The Bashams (Danny and Doug)

As two-time WWE Tag Team Champions, the Bashams were at one-time regular competitors in SmackDown’s Tag Team division. An appearance at WrestleMania XX, and an extensive role as part of JBL’s Cabinet remain as highlights of this veteran tag team’s career.

Al Snow

ECW Original and former WWE Hardcore Champion Al Snow – along with his unique ally, Head – became a fan favorite with his unorthodox antics in the late 1990s. Snow is also known for his training of sports-entertainment hopefuls in WWE Tough Enough. While he will no longer compete in the ring, he will continue in his duties as a trainer.

The Gymini

The powerful pairing known as Gymini debuted on SmackDown in January 2006 and earned several victories over a slew of SmackDown teams including ring veterans Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki.

Gangrel

David Heath, known to many as Gangrel, made his WWE debut in the mid 90’s as the vampire leader of the Brood. With blood dripping from his trademark fangs, Heath created a memorable image for WWE fans.

It's sad to see all those releases, especially Jazz since she would've fit perfectly in the Women's Division right now.

Age-a-licious

I get text messages because of that WWE insider thing and I was soo surprised when I kept getting text messages about all the wrestlers whose contracts were terminated today. I was like, "I just know someones from the Raw is going to be termintated"

jalapeno_wildchild

i hate to see Al Snow go, its always fun to watch him wrestle.

Lain

Ahh...another good women wrestler gone. Even if Jazz was a heel...who do we have left

I'm not surprised to see Al Snow go, even if I didn't see him wrestle as of late. Still, I'm going to miss his matches and of course Head

Jordan23

One more to add to the list...

Tatanka

Tatanka is an accomplished veteran of the squared circle. The Native American made a splash upon his entrance to the WWE in the early 90s, remaining undefeated for more than a year while participating in some of sports-entertainment's biggest events. His latest run on SmackDown capped a courageous and unlikely comeback to the ring.

Damn! Talk about a decrease in the roster.

sarahxxdawn

Okay, Who's left? lol. It's sad to see people go, but I never really watched any of them. Al Snow was fun to watch.

Age-a-licious

Some of these wrestlers they're letting go haven't been seen on TV in months, besides Tatanka. I felt bad for him though 'cause this was like his second go, but unfort. it didn't work out.

Hermoine_Granger

This sucks is WWE purposley giving TNA a reason to kick thier butts or is it just me? The worst part about it is that all these people got fired for two nobodies

The one dude who played Donald Trump and some guy that Monty Brown defeated in his first WWE match

Jordan23

You know I was surprised to see Grangrel's name on that list since we haven't seen him in FOREVER.


ETA: Damn add another one to the list.


Bill DeMott

DeMott was the head trainer of up-and-coming WWE talent at Deep South Wrestling in Atlanta, one of WWE’s developmental territories. DeMott was a ring veteran who was a Superstar in WCW and WWE. He has held the United States Championship on two occasions, and also is one of the largest Superstars to ever use the Moonsault in his matches. WWE fans who watched WWE Tough Enough will remember DeMott as the no-nonsense trainer who helped to make the show a smash hit.

Age-a-licious

Is that the big guy w/orange hair?

Jordan23

I don't recall him having orange hair...but here's a pic of him.

UnsilentMajorty

Most of these guys/gals were not really adding to the products/brands if we are going to be brutally honest with ourselves even as fans with no interest in how this effects WWE's bottom line.

I mean, some of them like Al Snow are still going to be doing what they love, but just not in an official WWE capacity a.k.a. on air anymore.

Sylvester Turkay is gone because Elijah Burk is blowing up as a personality and "one to watch" in 2007. This makes perfect sense. Trim the fat. But even so, I doubt most fans will miss him if we're going to be truthful, IMO.

Gangrel we haven't seen on TV in ages... Because Kevin Thorn ("Mordecai") fills the Sci-Fi network's "sci-fi wrestling character" part of their contract with WWE. Notice how I said just Kevin Thorn and not Ariel for a reason

So, it's sad to see people go, but as harsh as this sounds they weren't really needed given as big a company-wide roster as WWE has, IMO.

sarahxxdawn

I remember him in WCW - not sure what his *stage name* was, but he looks really familar.

BearDogg-X

He went by the names Hugh Morrus and General Rection in WCW.
