Gregory Helms and Paul Burchill both got their releases from the WWE today. Not surprising on either front. Helms was clamoring for his release so he could join his BFFs in Orlando, Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore, both of whom who've only been seen in promos for TNA Impact's move to Monday nights since 1/4. Plus there was that whole incident in the cab with Chris Jericho that people were saying was Helms' fault.As for Burchill, he really did nothing wrong other than have creative not come up with anything for him after his feud with the aforementioned Helms, including a stint as "The Ripper", came and went. You could say it's a shame, and believe me, I thought Burchill had potential, but at this point, it's not surprising given that more than one of the NXT guys are going to get contracts (at this point, I think everyone except Darren Young is in play for one), and fat does need to be trimmed. Burchill might be better off in the indies, but you know TNA will make a play for him, since you know, they're not satisfied with the other 23,000 wrestlers they have to cram into about 90 minutes of new TV run time every week.

Maria Kanellis is gone now too. Didn't she just win the Slammy for Best Diva and is representing the company in the newest round of Celebrity Apprentice? Weird firing.
