WWE Releases 3 Superstars

Over the course of the morning and now into the afternoon, WWE has been busy with the axe.  They’ve released three of their superstars from the roster: 

The Hurricane aka Gregory Helms

Paul Burchill

WWE Diva, Maria.

All of which got their “future endeavors” notices, and only one of which I’m really shocked.  You’re going to be a little shocked when you hear me say that I believe Maria shouldn’t have been let go.  She just got into a romantic story line with Matt Hardy, and she’s going to bring a ton of publicity to the WWE being that she’s on this season of the Celebrity Apprentice, which starts when the Olympics finish.  Besides, who’s going to stick up for Mickie James now?!?

Paul Burchill never really got a chance to shine since he dropped the pirate gimmick way back when.  He’s a solid wrestler, but when it comes down to it they never used him properly.

As for Gregory Helms, I think he’s the most worthy of being canned.  This guy doesn’t really bring anything financial to WWE, and the incident the other day where he and Chris Jericho were drunk in a cab and Helms punched a woman doesn’t bring good publicity for the company.  The only reason why Jericho gets away with it is because he’s a heel and puts butts in the seats.

In all honesty, I hope for the best for all three of these superstars.  Shake the dust off, and stand back up.  Things will work out!
