Candice did improve when she became champion but once she got injured again, the writing was on the wall. Snuka was lucky to last this long.

I honestly thought Candice was released ages ago, just one of those people you dont miss at all when they're gone, Snuka was inevitable, being flattened by Taker is probably what he'll be forever remembered for

Expect to see Candice in TNA, i actually think she can work will in the knockouts division provided she can stay injury free. Candice/Tara vs The Beautiful People would be awesome to watch.

Not surprised about Candice, especially considering she was apparently saying she wouldn't be resigning when her contract was up at the end of the year. So much for her saying she was returning in July.

Thought they had high hopes for Sim, when he wasn't released when his tag partner was, oh well.

I feel bad for Candice. Really worked hard in 2007 and improved a great deal. I agree with SR that she'll end up in TNA and I reckon she could do well there. Certainly a lot more capable than most women wrestlers.

Fixed your post. That's quite alright, you can thank me later.

I dunno if she really will be arsed with TNA, their were reports that she was not exactly killing herself to get back to the WWE a few weeks ago. I am sure she has others things in the pipeline.We should never forget that she had the worst music ever as well.

I pretty much forgot Snuka was still around to be honest. I don't think TNA will bring in Candice, the Knockouts division (are their roster in general) is a little bloated at the moment.

about time they there gone

I still think WWE missed a trick by not having Snuka in The Legacy. Fair enough, he was never that great. But they needed a big enforcer type and keeping with the generational theme of Legacy, he was pretty much the only option. I doubt Shane O Mac would have been taking out The Legacy all on his own if Snuka had still been there. Would have brought a bit more credibility to them as a powerful group.

Although since they didn't do that, no point keeping him around

If not only to have someone to job out all the time and give a little protection to jobbers that have too much potential to be jobbers Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes.

you getting snuka mixed up with manu??

snuka wasn't a big enforcer type, standing beside orton he looked like a small guy

CommieBaz

I'm surprised it took WWE this long to release Sim Snuka, he had an almost WCW-esque "being paid to do bugger all" couple of months.

As for Candice.....well at least we don't have to hear that God-awful theme music anymore.*

*Until Dale Oliver remixes it for her TNA debut...

CMpunked

She would be an idiot to go to TNA straight away.

Candice has more of a "promoting girl" feel rather than a diva/knockout.

I would not be surprised at all if i seen that she isnt bothered with doing wrstling at all anymore and became some poster girl for some company.

I remember reading someplace that WWE were thinking about using Sim Snuka as a commentator, when Superstars was in the works I believe, so I'm kinda a teeny weeny bit suprised he's been released...

I knew what he meant. Snuka would have been good as an enforcer to the likes of Cody and DiBiase while Orton was off chasing the title. That could have worked for a brief period while Snuka would have gotten some sort of rub from it.

Exactly. Sorry, I suppose 'big enforcer' wasn't the best terminology, but just someone who would mostly accompany Priceless or Orton to their matches and help them make attacks on other superstars after matches and so forth.

Manu was big, but I'd never picture him as an enforcer. He just looked weak from the moment he joined. Snuka had more potential to fill that role, especially due to the 2nd generational theme of the group. I can't really think of anyone else who they could have gotten.

I thought Candice was released ages ago and i couldnt think who Sim Snuka was (Deuce i remembered him by)

Both might do well in TNA if they go down there

To be honest it's only surprising they took this long to release him especially after he botched this with Taker at Wrestlemania.

CMpunked

At least Deuce got to get on some sort of wrestlemania history plaque, now he will live on in the history of the WWE....

Even if it is the undertakers one
