I thought Palumbo was in for a push around the IC division?

Nidi and Gail Kim gone? Strange, as Nidia was beginning to make an impression in the womens division. All the more surprising considering she is a Tough Enough 1 winner, and Vince never likes to be wrong. Also, I felt that she was a good performer. Sorry to see Gail Kim go as well, she was good in the ring, and quite hot also!!

Brock Lesnar was sacked?

Last time I was watched WWE (2 years?) he was the golden boy. What happened to him?

Lance Storm retired from wrestling and is now working as a trainer in ovw, technically i think he's still a wwe employee.
Tommy Dreamer is in the same boat, he's retired from wrestling but he still works for the wwe as a trainer.

I dont understand. Dreamer, and Storm could both do very well, if they were actually given a decent chance. Storm would fit in perfectly to SD, in or around the US Title division.

Dreamer likewise.

That said, good possibility its there own choices.

Dreamer has suffered too many injuries over the years, killing himself for ECW, so him coming back to the ring full time is very doubtful. As for Storm, well you can all see that WWE wasted his talent, and thus lead to his decision to call it quits as a full time wrestler

Venom

Another question if I may. Whats the craic with Stone Cold? Last I saw he was joint in charge with Eric Bisiof.

Stone Cold was unhappy with the direction of the WWE, aswell as the direction of his character - so he left
