WWE releases Unlucky Seven
April 28th, 2010 | 
Author: Seven former WWE personalities are probably phoning up TNA as we speak; McMahon’s company announced the release of seven superstars last week.
The biggest names were former University of Minnesota college wrestler and one-time Brock Lesnar buddy, Shelton Benjamin, as well as former top WWE diva Mickie James. Other releases were less notable, but include Mike Knox, diva Katie Lea Burchill, Slam Master J, Fu Naki and Jimmy Wang Yang.
James is a bit of a shock; as a frequent Womens/Diva champion, James helped carry the load of the women’s division for quite some time following the back-to-back retirements of Lita (Amy Dumas) and Trish Stratus (Patricia Anne Stratigias). Guess she won’t be sending Stephanie McMahon any baby shower invitations after this.
Benjamin is the biggest shock from the men’s side, if only because he started out so strong several years ago; but his career fizzled slowly after Lesnar, his fellow Gopher, quit WWE.
