well I hope someone within TNA watched ECW when Thorn was there and saw what he was capable of, because WWE just threw away some awesome talent right there.

The Hartford Courant out of Connecticut has a story reporting WWE fired approximately 60 employees today. Although, the number is said to be closer to 85, reports PWInsider.com. In reporting the company's cutbacks, the newspaper said WWE's professional wrestlers were safe since they were under contract. Of course, a handful of wrestlers were let go by WWE today.

Upon the announcements of their respective releases, WWE quickly removed the profiles of D-Lo Brown, Bam Neely and Val Venis from the company website. They also deleted their respective profiles on the WWE Universe site, leaving the following message: "This site has been disabled due to violations of our Terms of Service."

WWE has released British developmental wrestler Hade Vansen. WWE ran a bizarre vignette on his planned character on SmackDown a few weeks ago.

WWE had plans for his dark character with cult-esque overtones to engage in a feud with Undertaker, but Vince McMahon halted the direction following the initial vignette. McMahon didn't want new talent from developmental to be put in such a major angle before being tested and then trusted enough to carry the ball.

SmackDown creative team writer Michael Hayes came up with the idea for the storyline. He had plans for Kevin Fertig (a.k.a. Kevin Thorn) and the large masked developmental wrestler Black Pain to be associated with Vansen in some form before the character and direction were dropped. WWE released Fertig last week as well, so only Black Pain remains.

Vansen was signed to a developmental contract in May 2007 following a successful tryout during WWE's European tour. Vansen missed most of 2008 due to injury before returning in December.
