Cost-cutting in WCW just reached another 'Duh!' low: according to Rick Scaia on Wrestleline's Online Onslaught Tygress, Major Gunns, Daffney, Leia Meow, and Paisley were all released today.

Granted, I've never been a fan of Daffney, but if they are all gone (it may be, as Rick says, part of a close-their-contracts-then-hire-them-back-for-less ploy) then WCW has just removed all the eye candy quotient from their product, and destroyed a lot of valet relationships.

I guess in the twisted logic of WCW, where the overpaid lazy folks at the top stay untouched while the hard-working guys who are paid less get cut, this is an idea that makes sense. In the world of fandom, it's just plain dumb.
