WWE has now cut many more people from their roster. All the cuts have been done by a guy named John Laurianitis. In some cases, they've been slimy cuts along the line of Bret Hart's firing from WCW after he was injured.

The latest cuts: Rodney Mack, Jazz, Johnny Stamboli, Gail Kim, Chuck Palumbo, Nidia and Rico.

(Looks like my quip about Palumbo in danger was actually prophetic!)

Let me see: they cut Rodney Mack, not really a loss... but this is the guy they laid off D-Lo Brown for? A double waste!

Both Johnny Stamboli and Chuck Palumbo gone... first of all, why did they bother trading Palumbo and A-Train to RAW if they were just going to bury them and ultimately fire them? Secondly: now Nunzio is the only member of the former F.B.I. left. The fed doesn't seem to have any interesting plans for him; I'm worried his continuing job prospects are shaky too.

Gail, Nidia and Rico: three extremely talented performers, three wasted talents.

Jazz just never really caught on with fans. The whole "I'm too tough to be a Diva" gimmick just wore thin.

Both A-Train and Test are guys coming back from injury. Nothing like a pinkslip to aid recovery along, eh? I didn't enjoy either guy in the ring, but I don't like how they were released.

With what happened on RAW last night, I suspect that Evolution will soon crumble as a faction, considering how Batista pushed Ric Flair to ground.

Why is Mabel still poluting our screens? If they wanted a useless big man to come in as temporary Problem Solver, they could have kept A-Train a week longer...

I think that Bishoff's announcement of Edge on the heel team at Survivor Series was a bad idea. It made his full heel turn a little later have less impact, I feel.

- and what's this with Maria from the Diva Search now having a job as the new Teri Runnels mic stand^TM? Looks as if giving the crowd the bird on National TV was an effective way to get hired later on...

Well, add Test to that list of wrestlers cut - and, another person whose loss won't be deeply felt.

What's interesting is the fact that he and Albert are both guys the federation invested a lot of time and developmental work in. Remember T & A?

Ah well. I guess he's no longer banging Stacy Keibler, at least on the company payroll.

The news from WWE is that two more performers have been given their walking papers. Neither comes as a big surprise - and to be honest neither one will be deeply missed:

The first and widely publicized cut: after 12 years with the company, many runs as a tag team champion, and even a small not-real push after the King of the Ring, Billy Gunn was cut.

He's been off TV for about a month now, and no one complained. I heard a lot of complaints about him in the ring, often of the "he stank it up" variety. The guy just lacked charisma, and it spread to his ring-work. I think the only surprise is the length of time he was with WWE; many people (me included) expected him to get an office job or something like that. I guess we were wrong.

The other cut: A-Train/Albert. Again, no real surprise. He only showed up once on RAW, we never saw him again. I thought he was already let go.

Albert was another guy who just never caught on with fans (waving here!). He also probably won't be missed much.

The way things are going for Chuck Palumbo now... I get the feeling he'll be cut soon too.
