Another Three From the List

Last week WWE released Super Crazy, Paul London, and Chuck Palumbo. I may be mistaken, but I don't think London or Palumbo had been on television since the draft back in June. Super Crazy had been bouncing back and forth between ECW and Smackdown having random matches with no consistent feud or storyline.

Super Crazy was always fun to watch. Without a cruiserweight division on Smackdown he was a little lost. Palumbo was never all that interesting. The biker gimmick never really did anything for me, even though I'll admit I didn't watch too much Smackdown when that version of Palumbo was a regular feature on it. I didn't see much potential in either of them beyond the midcard. I guess both guys fit nicely into the role of "established jobber", someone who is recognizable that a new face in the company can beat on their way to a push. Guys like Tommy Dreamer, Snitsky, and Val Venis.

As for Paul London, here's what I wrote about him in the original list post:

"Something should be done with Paul London. He's too talented and too fun to watch to let him go to waste. He could be placed in the current program with Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels. Like Lance Cade, London is a product of Michaels' Texas Wrestling Academy. Chris Jericho & Lance Cade vs. Shawn Michaels & Paul London...I'd pay to see that. A solo London probably wouldn't be much more than a jobber, and I can see a guy as talented as he is asking for his release to head to TNA or back to Ring of Honor."

I wrote that back in July, after which London lost a match to Chris Jericho and hasn't been seen since. I figured he was talented enough to work in at least the upper midcard as a singles competitor if pushed properly. Obviously that didn't happen. I didn't expect it of his former tag team partner Brian Kendrick, who went on to become the phenomenon known as The Brian Kendrick. As I said, I wouldn't be suprised to seel London show up somewhere else very soon. Where ever he ends up, I'm sure he'll land on his feet...or his face.
