I am starting hopefully a new column on the WWE. Mostly to sum up news and events. After all, we all love our Double Double E!

Roster Cuts!

WWE is making its round of roster cuts again. Let us take a look at the recent firees and what it means to the WWE.

Rob Conway - OH NO! NOT ROB CONWAY! In all seriousness, while he was the only decent wrestler in La Resistance, no one really gave a shit about what he ever did. Plus, he looked way too much like Chris Masters. Really, is anybody going to miss him? Hell, does anybody even know who he is?

Big Vito - Here is a note to WWE… Cross Dressing and Flamboyantly Gay Gimmicks DON’T WORK. The days of Goregeous George, Adrian Adonis, and Goldust are over. See Much, Too. See Chuck, Billy &. See  See Kwiwi (For god sakes, don’t ask).

Sabu - No big loss. Sabu only works well in garbage matches, and when he has RVD or Jerry Lynn as his opponent. Sabu apparently has backstage attitude problems and the only person helping him keep his job was RVD. Well, Sabu… you basically contributed all of nothing in the WWE. See ya!

Too Cold Scorpio - What the fuck? This is about as bad as Gangrel from the last roster cut. Apparently, the WWE rehired Too Cold Scorpio after he impressed staff in a dark match. Then, they had him sit at home and collect pay checks because they didn’t know what to do with him. He worked like 7 dark matches since last August and that’s it. After Gangrel, Marty Jannetty, and Tatanka… perhaps rehiring over the hill midcarders isn’t in WWE’s best interest.

I imagine TNA will pick up Sabu and Big Vito. You might even see Rob Conway! As for Too Cold Scorpio, looks like it is back to the Indies again.

INJURIES

Good grief, this year will be known as WWE’s Cast & Crutches Tour. It is the only time WWE Management will ever say “Well thank god Mark Henry is here.” If you work for Smackdown, my suggestion would be to get some insurance or find a new job. Seriously, let us take at the list of major injuries that have taken some great superstars out.

Triple H - Quadricep Tear, expected back in July 2007 - This is WWE’s HUGEST loss. WWE felt it too as they had restructure the entire Wrestlemania 23 card at the last minute, and just slid by. When he comes back, I think we can expect him to dethrone John Cena at Summerslam. THANK GOD.

The Undertaker - Bicep Tear, expect back in January 2008 - Well, this injury also came at a bad time. While no one expected The Undertaker to hold onto the World Title for too long, his reign was cut short when he tore his bicep at Backlash.

Kennedy - Tricep Tear, expect back in July 2007 - Of course, it gets worse! The person that Undertaker was supposed to drop the title to also got injured! So, WWE had to call an audible and give it to Edge. However, this injury may actually benefit Kennedy’s career provided he recovers okay. Kennedy is becoming insanely over and has potential to be the next big thing. He has the charisma. His in ring skills are good. As long as he doesn’t John Cena this and become a pure babyface, and more Stone Cold’s this and becomes a tweener… it will work. His journey to the World Title is coming!

Gregory Helms - The Stone Cold Steve Austin Neck Injury that requires Fusion Surgery, expected back in May 2008 - Well, this sucks. Gregory Helms had a very long Cruiserweigh Title that was cut over to Chavo for no real reason whatsoever. Then, he gets the dreaded neck injury. The kind that requires super invasive surgery and takes a year to recover from. Stone Cold got it. Lita got it. Edge got it. Chris Benoit got it. I’ve had neck problems, and I know it sucks. My pain was nothing like this, so I can even imagine the pain Gregory Helms must be in right now. I wish him the best in a speedy recovery. That’s all I have to say.

King Booker - Knee Injury, expect back in July 2007 - He’s coming back! I like Booker T. I enjoyed the King Booker gimmick, but its starting to run its course. When he comes back, they should have another Kind of the Ring tournament and have him lose his crown.

Rey Mysterio - Recovering from knee injury, expected back in June 2007 - YAY! Now here is some good news. Rey Mysterio should be coming back soon, and boy does Smackdown need him… badly. I think we should get a good feud going between Edge and Rey. That should be interesting, and produce good matches!

Hardcore Holly - Getting Elbow Surgery, expected back in October 2007 - Well, Hardcore Holly surprised the shit out of a lot of people when he came back. He did decent, and now he has that nagging elbow injury come back to haunt him. Poor guy.

Ashley Massaro - Recovering from Ankle Surgery, expected back in June 2007 - She’s due back soon. When she does come back, expect Kindrack and London to regain the Tag titles.

Super Crazy - Torn MCL, No More Information Available - What the hell? Did anybody notice that Super Crazy was gone? Seriously, when he does come back, put him on the ECW roster already!

Tidbits

WWE cancels December to Dismember - WOO HOO! This one was a sign that WWE had WAY too many Pay-Per Views. In Mid-October you had No Mercy. In November you had Cyber Sunday at the beginning & Survivor Series at the end. In December you had December to Dismember

WWE imploys new Classy Diva Policy, and then prompty removes it - Wow…that lasted all of 7 days. I knew WWE couldn’t go without boobies. Vince McMahon loves his women.

Snitsky to feud with Cena? - You know those stupid pointless vignettes we’ve been seeing of Snitsky? Apparently he’s the next person to feud with Cena after Khali. For the love of god, people… if you don’t have enough main event heels, don’t just promote the largest guy, give the title to a heel and have him feud with the plethora of main event faces.

Well, that’s all I feel like covering. Give me your feedback, and I just might continue this column!

Till next week?

I love my Double Double E!
