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 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.

 

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.

 

WWE Developmental

Greg Groothius (Jack Bull), Steven Adkins (Seth Skyfire), and Ryan Reeves were most recently training at WWE's Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental territory.

The HBK-Rated RKO match was unreal

 

Astig to sobra. Unlike Triple H, HBK showed that he was really having a hard time. Showing some spaghetti legs at first and then pulling off magnificent moves. Truly is the show stoppa! This match might spark a feud between Edge and Randy Orton since Edge left Randy in the ring getting his head smashed. It might be the end of Rated-RKO.

Shawn would probably win the Royal Rumble...

Astig nga ung laban.. Hehe

Pro Rated RKO parin ako =)

WWE News: Latest details on Triple H’s serious injury & estimated return date

Submitted by Jason Brown on Sunday, January 21, 2007 at 11:46 AM EST

 

 

 

# The reason that Triple H is telling people that he will be able to return to the ring is six months instead of the originally projected eight or nine from his second torn quadriceps is that Dr. James Andrews has told him of the advances in the sutiring material and surgical procedure since he suffered his first quadriceps tear nearly six years ago.

 

Despite the claim, public estimates of Triple H’s return from injury are still 6-8 months, contradicting the initial estimate reported on WWE.com of 5-6 months. Nonetheless it is safe to say that Triple H will be out for a significant amount of time while he heels from a rather serious injury.
