Christ, I knew 'taker was hard, but sometimes the guy seems super human.

shane helms and paul burchill given their future endeavours.

Diva of the year, as voted by "The WWE Universe!!", Maria has also been released. I imagine we will see quite a few more too since ECW has been put to bed.

One question, how on earth has Funaki lasted all these years? He must have something on Vince

Bet it's because "Our writers have nothing for you". Like Cornette said, fire the damn writers then!

Both will probably get a good chance with TNA if they go there. Burchill was never given a chance to show how good he actually is in WWE as he was stuck with rubbish gimmicks.

You calling his pirate gimmick rubbish?! Seriously you're right, just two of the many great workers never fully utilised by WWE.

this version of the hurricane when he came back was loving awful, and he was well out of shape.

Maria is a weird one, she's not long since filmed celebrity apprentice in america i think and was suppsed to be getting taken off tv when that was getting aired. dunno if its already been on or not.

Especially as he couldn't perform his proper finisher!

What was it?

Maybe they could give him "chinese curry man" or "whale boy" eh in Tna?
