TNA Signs Former WWE Star
By Brad Ingles

Former WWE star Elijah Burke recently signed with TNA and will make his debut soon under a new ring name. He had a tryout match with TNA a few months ago with former WWE developmental wrestler Shawn Spears, and both received rave reviews by officials.

Burke was released by WWE in October 2008.

As much as TNA is fine to watch sometimes. It is now pretty much 'TNA: Total Nonstop WWE Reject Action' :P

You realize most of the talent TNA is getting, is better then 90% of the WWE roster. The WWE gets rid of people not for lack of talent, but for lack of storylines. TNA is just giving them a chance to show some talent in the X-Division, Legends Group, and Tag Team groupings.

Vince McMahon Frustrated With WWE Product
By Brad Ingles

Since the recent injuries to WWE's top stars, Vince McMahon has been described as "on edge" and "unhappy with the product now." The lack of depth of main event talent is said to frustrate and worry Vince. WWE officials have been criticized for recent decisions and not working to elevate talent such as MVP and Jack Swagger. Both wrestlers have been highly praised and some have questioned why they were moved to Raw only to become midcarders.

Most within the company also feel the development system is doing a horrible job of producing ready talent, and the success in recruiting top athletes has declined.

-------------------------------------

This is whole problem with WWE right now. TNA also has the same problem. Booking sucks. Only thing going for TNA, they have talent, and lots of it at their disposal. WWE's farm leagues do not have this. If WWE/TNA got over this politics thing, we might have a decent product!

Yeah, i agree ^. Im sick and tired of seeing the same old Orton, HHH, Cena (and Batista when he comes back) always taking the spotlight and having the same feud over and over on Raw, all we hear from them is "Wah wah i want my title back, lets have the same rematch again".

At least in Smackdown we see wrestlers that have potiential such as John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler get pushed and at least we see good fresh new feuds going on there.

I can see MVP becoming a rising star, because he has been there for years, paying his dues and becoming more over each week. He's marketable, full of charisma and would make a good champion and he has proven time and time that he is full of quality matches.

Now as for Swagger, hes a great heel, an awesome in-ring performer and he has youth on his side. The only probelm with him is his lack of marketing thats it.

They also need to start a real push for Christian Cage....for the love of god, hes got Edge like talent, a better move set, and he's only the ECW champion. He could be face or heal in 10 minutes, hes that good!

He also should have never left TNA.

So if Vince doesn't give a damn, why has Christian won the ECW Title twice?

It leaves Cage buried but happy. Gets him on PPV's for the big paydays.

You make it seem that as though the ECW Championship is actually good. The title and that division of WWE are nothing more than a joke. It's basically a reject zone where World Wrestling Entertainment places the people it doesn't really care about.

I really believe that they should merge SmackDown! and ECW or get rid of ECW and merge SmackDown! and Raw. I'd prefer the former greatly.

Details Behind The Brian Kendrick's Release From World Wrestling Entertainment
By Daniel Pena

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

As noted earlier, WWE parted ways with The Brian Kendrick last Thursday. It would appear that the decision was actually made two weeks ago because he was pulled from a previously from a scheduled program with Evan Bourne that week. He was then booked to lose to Jerry Lawler and Kofi Kingston in humiliating fashion.

To confirm ongoing Internet rumors dating back to last fall, Kendrick's push went up in smoke, so to speak, as a result of his disobedience towards the company's policy on marijuana. He had been warned several times by company officials that they weren't going to tolerate his failing drug tests for marijuana (which constitute a $1,000 fine, but not a suspension) after failing numerous tests. He was one of at least two wrestlers whose pushes were stopped because of their disobedience, and it was likely a major contributing factor in his departure from the company.

Kendrick's release from WWE was also said to be taken as a warning to higher profile wrestlers who have been failing tests for marijuana, as company officials have said many times to a slate of wrestlers individually that they are no longer going to tolerate it.

It should be noted that when Kendrick was informed by John Laurinaitis that he was being let go, he was told it was due to the economy. Those who heard it couldn't believe he gave him such an obviously bogus reason. It's also been said that Kendrick would have been released months ago, but Pat Patterson spoke up on his behalf.

ECW has been a joke since it was brought back. The only person there with any actual talent is Christian and maybe one or two others at this point. Really, ECW's only real main event headliner is Christian.

That's my opinion of course and you can continue to chalenge it if you want.

Actually Zack Ryder and Shelton Benjamin have as much talent as Christian.

It's because you don't have a creative team anymore Vince. Wrestling is also on a down turn these days.

It's not like these "boring" storylines are hurting ratings anyway. McMahon needs to remove some of the stars from Raw and move then to ECW for ratings and to give opportunity. Then again, I shouldn't be giving advice since I'm a fan and an suggesting such things knowing that it has no consequence on me.
