WWE has released Super Crazy, Chuck Palumbo, Paul London, Kenny Dykstra, Elijah Burke and Lena Yada. Linda McMahon's statement that WWE is looking to cut upto $20 million in ooperational costs ties into several reports out there that more cuts are on the way.

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Superstars Paul London and Chuck Palumbo as of Nov. 7, 2008. WWE wishes them the best in all future endeavors.

Super Crazy quit WWE at last night's Smackdown/ECW taping in Orlando. Crazy's decision was said to have come out of no where. He reportedly told WWE officials that he was unhappy with how he was being used and that he was promised pushes so many times that never materialized.

John Laurinaitis is said to have not taken it well reportedly telling Crazy that many wrestlers in Mexico want his spot. Crazy had told friends that even in his position, he was happy with the money, but was unhappy with the job. While he could collect on a few months based on the WWE's non-compete clause without having to work, he was said to be willing to waive that period as he wants to wrestle and is willing to waive the non-compete by signing that he won't go to TNA as he said that isn't his goal either.

Four-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion Shane Douglas is no longer working at a Target department store. He's since returned to his previous line of work as a teacher. He's currently teaching history at a middle school in his hometown of New Brighton, PA as Mr. Martin. The school website lists a phone number for a "Homework Hotline" from Mr. Martin. Martin informed people of his new job at the Legends of Wrestling convention held over the weekend.

Former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Justin Credible appeared at the Legends of Wrestling convention in Monroe, New Jersey and was telling people he recently graduated from culinary school and is currently working as a cook at an Olive Garden restaurant (reportedly in Waterbury, Connecticut). Credible and former ECW wrestler Jason Knight are relaunching Assault Championship Wrestling this weekend. They are also training wrestlers in the Connecticut area.

Former ECW valet Francine is currently working as a booker for the Women's Extreme Wrestling promotion, which frequently runs shows in the old ECW Arena.

The website CollegeHumor.com did a post featuring a photo of former WWE Diva Dawn Marie. The post is not so much about her, but rather, a blonde woman she's with. The post features the "Why So Serious?" tagline from The Dark Knight Batman movie, apparently making fun of Dawn Marie's friend. I believe the photo was taken at Dawn Marie's Wrestler's Rescue event held last month. The woman is a friend of Dawn's who's gone to some wrestling events/conventions with her in the past year. The post has garnered over 160 comments from CollegeHumor.com visitors thus far.
