    Rumor has it that Batista is done with the WWE by the end of the month so he can focus on his "movie career" LOL!!!!

    If you've seen Wrong Side of Town, then you'll know he ain't got no movie career.

    Then I've read that he's contacted TNA for a job in case things don't work out and because he's ? that Triple H took the lead role in a movie the WWE is producing called Killing Karma that he was supposed and originally slated to be the star of. So HHH once again screws someone and this time it's out of the ring.

    It all stems from Batista not getting a new deal worked out and the WWE just pulling the rug from under his feet.

    To me, it seems that if you want to venture outside of WWE and do some stuff for yourself, the WWE will basically drop you because they can't have their hand in your pocket to break bread. If you're going to have an inspiring movie and/or music career, you'll have to go through them to get it, where they will own all the rights to the projects, keeping the talent a slave.

    By seeing that trailer, I don't think I won't to see that movie. I just have a wierd vibe from it.

    mickie always had a high priority in the divas division except when she got injured so i cant agree on that one....Shelton was a hit and miss you dont notice him unless he had a title or is Money in the Bank match.

    Mickie picked up the slack from when real wrestlers like Lita and Trish left from what I remember. Most of the time somebody wanna do something outside of WWE they drop you.

    Shelton I dont remember if he said he never wanted a title run but he's been there for years and never got a title run or even a serious shot at the title. But Sheamus and Drew Mcintyre been there like 6 months and already champions. Then Koffi wins it and has to give it back to Drew. Dont look too good for black wrestlers unless ur name is Rock or Booker.

    - With Beth Phoenix out of action due to injury, there are a lot of people in the company who regret them releasing Mickie James. There is talk of bringing Gail Kim to SmackDown or hiring a new babyface Diva that can actually wrestle for the SmackDown brand.

    LOL WWE losin'

    Naw it's just too many divas even before she was injured the divas on the come up were maryse, kelly kelly, that england ? , and beth phoenix plus they added a couple more since then so it aint no more room for mickie to shine now

    - WWE.com has announced that RAW brand Superstar Carlos Colon (Carlito) has been released from his WWE contract as of today May 21, 2010.

    According to WWE on their website, "Carlito’s termination was due to his first violation of the WWE Wellness Program and his subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility."

    sources say Carlito showed up to a show "unfit" to wrestle and told him to go to rehab on the spot; he refused, and they escorted him out the door right there.

    from what i remember, he didn't fail a wellness test, but they say him being "unfit" to wrestle, just by saying it, was a violation, and refusing rehab as an automatic firing.
