[Dyamez]

From WFCW.com

WFCW has come to terms of the release of the following people, and wishes them the best in their future endeavors.

Jim Hellwig (ultimate warrior)
Rick Rude
Jake the snake roberts



-Rumor has it that WFCW is looking at possible people to strip warrior of the belt out of the poll these names were leading:

-Rey Mysterio- ultimate underdog, consistently opens shows. Great showman.

-Sebastian James- Popular with avid pic fed viewers, unique persona

-Randy Orton- an embodiment of the new generation.

-Shawn Michaels- Current x title champion, in spite of release issues, he's still in the top spot.

-WFCW Management has been in talks of possible lockout due to change of priorities by the stockholders. Insiders state that the owners of WFCW as well as stockholders will hold a closed door meeting this weekend.

- Dave Meltzer reports that Sebastian James, WFCW wrestler and president of Beatdown, is talking with potential sponsors for the company as they are having a hard time financially and there are rumors of a sale.

- Several readers sent word that wrestlers are convinced of a possible lockout in WFCW due to lack of sponsorship and shows.
Creative crew and staff have been transferring to different companies.

- Mike Pettit sent the following: The Warrior (Jim Hellwig) is rumored to be part of Beatdown's "house cleaning". Warrior, who is in an exclusive contract in the pic fed world to WFCW Beatdown, may be released due to financial difficulties within the company. Warrior only had 2 matches in WFCW and is said to get 50% of Beatdown's allocation in funds. Beatdown is looking at the release of some under utilized wrestlers and acquisition of lesser salaried ones.

- Big name stars such as AJ Styles, John Cena, legends Rick rude and Jake roberts, Samoa Joe, announcers Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, Diva Kelly Kelly and GM Ted Dibiase are said to be in the "firing line"

-WFCW Management held a closed door meeting last weekend and their situation were worse than expected. WFCW Beatdown Pioneer and current x-title champion Michael Hickenbottom (Shawn Michaels) verbally aired out discontent with the company and may have rubbed WFCW stockholders the wrong way. This may affect his coming contract negotiation.

-Warrior has stated on his website: " I do not have to answer to WFCW or any of their sponsors, fact of the matter is, they cannot live without the warrior. Let me see them even try to have a warrior-less Beatdown"

- Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan also shown lack of interest with the company. Hogan just signed a contract with WFCW for a PPV only appearance and was rumored to be the first person to get a win over warrior as they were advertised to headline WFCW Beatdown's PPV. Regardless of the situation, Hogan would still be paid in full even if he "no-show's" in the event if the PPV would even push through.

[takerfandan]

Hogan / Warrior would have been pretty bland anyway imo. ;[

I'd much much MUCH rather see HBK vs Hogan II. <3

[(=wwefan617=)]

i like the way this is going man. it makes a lot of room for new starrs in your fed and stuff like that. but as far as the poll for the new champion goes. i am going to vote for Sebastian James. =)
