Melina was dating on fire ever since she was vocal about Trish and Snooki taking the current Divas' Wrestlemania spots this year. JoMo was in the doghouse for a while too b/c taking her side but I figured she'd get the boot eventually as she was constantly reported for having backstage heat with people.
As for Gail Kim, who wants to join me in a bet that she'll be back in TNA by the end of the year?
Vladamir Kozlov should've known his career was coming to an end when he got paired with Santino. After all of the injures at MITB, you'd think he would've gotten a push or something but no they rushed the CM Punk return angle and are milking that dry and stale already.
David Hart Smith was the biggest shock for me, as I thought they would want to do something more with the Hart family students. If I was Nattie and Kidd I would be shitting bricks right now...

I knew Melina was in trouble, but I didn't think the WWE would be that angry over a silly comment about Trish Stratus  And I hope Gail goes back to TNA tbh. THEY BETTER NOT RELEASE TYSON, OR THEN I WILL BE EXTREMELY PISSED. |

They won't get rid of Tyson for his feud with Tatsu over Tatsu's action figure on NXT. I think Curt Hawkins and Skip Sheffield are still with WWE and might/should be released. This is shocking but ever since day one on ECW Tyson has been one of my favorite wrestlers.

This is Smith's second firing, and probably his last. I'm guessing there was another Wellness violation somewhere.
Melina both surprises me and doesn't surprise me. She's kind of the real-life Justice in that she's always been mouthy backstage and had heat, but was still valued as a product and therefore tolerated. I kind of figured her chances were up though when all of a sudden, her trademark fuzzy boots and custom outfits disappeared for generic black pleather.
I thought they were starting something with Masters. I guess I was wrong. He may not be championship material, but I really feel he was woefully under-rated and not given enough of a chance to even fall on his face.
Gail Kim finally got it into her thick skull she was only there to make the barbie twins look credible huh? Took 2 years longer than it should have.
I disagree. I liked the pairing of Santino/Kozlov. Kozlov has 0 charisma and putting him with Santino really started helping him. Don't feel too bad for Kozlov. I have a feeling in a few months, they'll bring him back and re-package him cuz they need oversized walls of meat.
I don't think any member of Hart dynasty has ever shit in their tights. They lived through Owen, Bret, Neidhart, Pillman and Stu. I think they could read the writing on the wall as soon as they dropped the titles. If not then, definitely when creative walked up to them and said "Hey! How would you guys like to go for singles gold?"

I would have figured that they'd let go of Gail Kim at how much they mistreated her, especially when there was an opportunity to relive her rivalry with Kharma, who was said to be returning to WWE after her pregnancy. Gail Kim will likely return to TNA, and they will welcome he back with open arms.
David Hart Smith being released was proof alone that the quality successors to legends (as well as quality wrestlers alone) are getting wasted. Hopefully he'll be in TNA as well.
Chris Masters was no surprise either.
Releasing Melina? What in the world is going on in WWE?
Offtopic, why is Naomi NOT in WWE yet?
