from WWE.com
World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of the following talent. WWE wishes them all the best in their future endeavors.
Sylvester Terkay A decorated Mixed Martial Arts fighter and three-time All-American, the man-bear Sylvester Terkay is the 1993 NCAA Division I National Heavyweight Champion. While in WWE, Terkay registered several notable victories.
Jazz An ECW original, Jazz left her mark on the WWE’s Women’s Division. A former champion, her biggest win came at WrestleMania X8, where she defeated Trish Stratus and Lita to retain her title. Rodney Mack Rodney Mack’s most recent tenure with WWE was spent as a mentor to the Superstars of tomorrow. A veteran of the squared circle, Mack assisted in the development of the careers of several young members of the ECW roster.
Tony Mamaluke Extremist Tony Mamaluke earned his greatest achievements in the original ECW, capturing the ECW World Tag Team Championship. Alongside his fellow Paesan Little Guido and ECW Diva Trinity, Mamaluke competed with new breed Extremists as a member of the Full Blooded Italians.
The Bashams (Danny and Doug) As two-time WWE Tag Team Champions, the Bashams were at one-time regular competitors in SmackDown’s Tag Team division. An appearance at WrestleMania XX, and an extensive role as part of JBL’s Cabinet remain as highlights of this veteran tag team’s career.
Al Snow ECW Original and former WWE Hardcore Champion Al Snow – along with his unique ally, Head – became a fan favorite with his unorthodox antics in the late 1990s. Snow is also known for his training of sports-entertainment hopefuls in WWE Tough Enough. While he will no longer compete in the ring, he will continue in his duties as a trainer.
The Gymini The powerful pairing known as Gymini debuted on SmackDown in January 2006 and earned several victories over a slew of SmackDown teams including ring veterans Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki. Gangrel David Heath, known to many as Gangrel, made his WWE debut in the mid 90’s as the vampire leader of the Brood. With blood dripping from his trademark fangs, Heath created a memorable image for WWE fans.
Christopher W. Anderson The rugged southpaw Christopher W. Anderson found his greatest successes in the original ECW before he returned with the new breed this past summer.

Well now. Not to say I told you so, but...
I'm not really surprised by this at all. Some of these people only showed at house matches, or were stuck in OVW and Deep South showing no improvement. I'm glad Al Snow is at least sticking around to continue training; he's good at it.

I didn't know half of those people were even still with the WWE.O.o
I'm suprised they let go of Sylvester Terkay though, I thought he was pretty good wrestler.

Just announced today from WWE.com........
Tatanka has also been released.
Um, erg. It seemed like he was having a half-way decent comeback for the last year. Kind of surprised he went. I'm thinking there's some other issues with him. I mean, he was a recurring Smackdown star, and not stuffed on the web-show.

this will actually be good for Mack and Jazz so they can continue on with their fed in Prarieville *I lives in Louisiana and trying to get a career* and for Mamaluke, he can go back to RoH and get the tag titles with Rinauro (if Rinauro is still even there). Why would they get rid of the Bashams is beyond me, I mean I get sick and tired of that, I really liked the Bashams because they were a decent tag team in my opinion and I could see them and MNM duking it out. As for the Gymini, it's not their fault that they are superbuilt and that Vince didn't know what to do with them, but they could have worked out to a degree I mean they were pretty good in their first match and that finisher actually looked affective (double straitjacket slam) and as for Anderson...in the words of Ace Steele, "Someone's gonna die!" and I hope that it's Vince, he could have done better with "ECW".

Vince does the same thing every year though. Don't forget he booted about 20 people last year around the same time i think. He's making room for whoever the mystery entrants in the Rumble will be, and dropping dead weight. A few of the ones let go were in the training feds, like the Bashams. It just may be that they weren't improving in the time they were there and Vince didn't want to waste any more time or money on people that couldn't produce for him. I've also been saying for awhile now that WWE and TNA are probably going to trade a few people starting pretty soon. Monty Brown and Kurt Angle were just the first, i think, of a bunch. I'm hearing rumors that Ron Killings is looking for a way out of his TNA contract to come to WWE. Could be interesting to see who else leaves WWE and shows up on TNA within a month or so.

This just in...also released was Bill DeMott, one of the head trainers for Deep South Wrestling.
I wonder if Vince is planning to re-arrange how the training feds are organized...
