The Dudley Boyz, Bubba Ray and D'Von Dudley, were released because
their contracts were coming up next month and they couldn't agree to
money terms with WWE. With domestic house show business being
horrible, this is no time to being asking for a raise. The Dudleyz
are said to be looking at TNA and Japan as future options.


Marty Jannetty was released because of a domestic incident last
month. Well that and that they just didn't know how to fit him into
WWE storylines as he was sitting on the sidelines for about three
months.


Dawn Marie had her contract bought out due to her forthcoming
pregnancy. Plus with the Diva Search, WWE is getting the feeling
that just about all the divas are expendable. Out with the old, in
with the new. It didn't do Dawn Marie any favors that she happens to
be 33 years old and aging with each passing year and WWE seems to be
looking for hot 20-something's nowadays. Plus, many fans have noted
at house shows that she was getting out of shape while observing her
during bikini contests, although her pregnancy had to have played a
part in her weight gain.
