SES split cause of Serena's drinking and Mercury's injury, Punk got sent to RAW to balance the face/heels a bit, then got injured after a week.
All fair comments mate, but have to say I can't see either former member of Cryme Time ever matching the success they had as a team on their own (like Bubba Ray said in an interview - did anyone ever want to see the Road Warriors wrestle in singles?!).
The Serena thing was pathetic - she should be allowed to have a life away from her character, and as long as her behaviour is law-abiding (which drinking is), then what's the problem?!
They could still have kept SES together (e.g. Punk & Mercury done interviews, commentary etc whilst recovering, whilst Gallows & Serena wrestled), they're just a very petty and fickle company at times IMO.
"The Mail understands..." NOTHING!

Vance Archer was Lance Hoyt in TNA for 5 years and was released in February 2009, don't know if he'll go back there with it being TNA releasing him Jillian Hall - WWE releases yet another talented female wrestler Tiffany - Good decision to release Shad Gaspard & this also applies to Caylen Croft - WWE just doesn't seem to ever want to keep tag teams together these days. Back in the day it was fantastic to watch the likes of E&C, Hardy's, Dudley's and these days I love watching The Motor City Machine Guns, Beer Money, Generation Me, Ink Inc. Luke Gallows - Such a shame for him that SES ended, as after being stuck with the Festus gimmick for 2 years he had finally got something good.

What an awesome tour it's going to be. Got a Fan Interaction ticket (+ normal ticket) for the Manchester one, wonder if Ted Dibiase Sr will be free to bless a quick wedding that day.
So Lister, any help on where I can buy a Tara TNA figure to get signed mate?
The restraining order she'll get out will be signed!

The thing is WWE are too quick to hit the panic button. They rush guys into spots they're not ready for and if someone doesn't get over within 2 weeks they drop them.
The tag team thing is clearly something that WWE don't feel matter. I mean look at the Harts, what's that break up about? It makes no sense as it's not had time to build either guy as face or heel. Yes, Kidd turned on Smith. But why should I care about either guy? They've only been round for 10 minutes. It's not like Owen vs Brett or Brett vs Bulldog where both guys have had time to get over with the fans

It's a shame there's only 1 survivor series match on this year. though I suppose even for wwe it's hard to justify that many guys in a tag match
