Considering Nitro is one of the best athletes in the business (like Shelton Benjamin) and can wrestle his ass off, you must be pretty happy with the crap that is the WWE right now. Hair v Hair, oooo so interesting; Kane v Kali... I just can't wait to fall asle...I mean watch that one; another rousing Cena promo... not enough alcohol in the universe to make him look or sound like a champion; Lashley struggling in each match. more Triple Expose or whatever it is called, and more burying of the younger stars (Carlito, Benjamin, Nitro, the entire tag team division). These pathetic gimmicks and gimmick matches do not make a good WRESTLING show. Only more reality TV sh**.

It is almost impossible to believe that the WWE once was overrun by true talent. What happened to those days?

As it's been reported all week, WWE released Joey Mercury this past Monday. It was said that because of several personal issues that the idea for the release was the best option. It is a situation similar to Kurt Angle's in that WWE is giving him time to fix his issues and then he will be welcome back to the company when they think he is ready. The decision to release him was a spur of the moment made at the catering room at Monday's RAW taping. He was said to be in really bad shape on Monday, and as much as people like him and feel bad for him, they felt this had to be done for his own good.

Last year he had some serious issues with pain killers and was sent to rehab. After getting out, he got his face destroyed by the ladder and got hooked on them again in a major way.

Many felt that termination may have been the wrong solution because he often gave it his all in the ring. such as the brutal injury he suffered at Armageddon. However, in reality, WWE is doing what they feel they have to do to help him to help himself.

I really hope that Joey can beat the addiction as I fully support the WWE in this action to get a person's health checked before he comes to wrestle. Same thing happened to Kurt and Kurt didnt want to listen. Mercury is a good talent and when he kicks the Habbit, I'll be glad to see him back in a WWE Ring back with MNM as he had some nice single matches on SMackDown with Matt Hardy before his release and has been a great asset. One just has to deal with the struggles of addiction and its never easy to battle but I'm fully behind both Mercury to have a good recovery and for the WWE for doing what was right in this situation and not getting any wrose.
