WWE releases Superstars

Written: January 19, 2007 World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of the following talent. WWE wishes them all the best in their future endeavors.

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 90’s, remaining undefeated for over a year while participating in some of sports-entertainments biggest events. His latest run on SmackDown capped a courageous and unlikely comeback to the ring.

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.

Goodness, when I read this... I was disappointed. I stopped watching ECW awhile ago, it's too much like Raw and Smackdown now to me. The other shows I watch on and off, I have to say though... WWE has gotten worse to me since they eliminated their competition. Hopefully, TNA will give them something to worried about soon.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

TNA is nothing but WWE rejects with play. For example Jay Reno went over to TNA and now he is the Champion. TNA uses everyone, to a degree. Vince is all about big titties, and Immature comedy. It should be about Wrestling for a change.

[Ryan]

Jay Reso aka Christian is a two time NWA champion now. TNA capitolized on what the WWE failed to utilize and he's a success. TNA is WWE rejects at play. They have a lot of self-made stars and stars that weren't stars in the WWE but are stars now.

TNA is a nice alternative to the crap we're forcefed every week by the WWE.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

Wow Ryan, You and I are thinking almost identically.

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

One more thing. Add Bill Demot to the list of fired people. It is up on WWE.com

Last week's Raw was a definate improvement.

But TNA is still subpar. I can't even sit through a few seconds because all they do is advertise for Vince with their whining. What a bunch of [[email protected]#$%^&*]es. Shut up and wrestle.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone he loved and all those who loved him. What a heartbreaker.
