So that's three now as of late. Molly, Matt, Rhyno... Oh, I just saw this one too! Yep, WWE is definitely going through another purge if there are 5. Matt, Rhyno, Molly, Geez, and Chilly Willy. I wonder why they always seem to get rid of a lot of people at one time...  |

Yeah, i have found out about this and the only reason i can come up with for releasing quite a few is to save costs!
Well Hardy's release was due to the fact of him talking public about the whole Edge/Lita fiasco which has made superstars backstage feel that the WWE is crossing a line into holding what wrestlers do in their personal lives against them.
And Rhyno's releases was due to the fact that he had a huge arguement with his wife and caused a scene and also told WWE Officials that he didn't care if they fired him.
Paul Bearer was released which he spoke about in an e-mail on his site
And as for Geez, Chilly Willy and Molly Holly....like i said to save costs i imagine.
Shame to see Molly Holly go, she was one of the few that can ACTUALLY wrestle in the women's division!!

I know! It's almost pointless to even have a Women's Championship when there are only 4 women wrestlers left anyway. And that's only if you count Christy and Lita! They have all these female wrestlers with developmental deals in OVW. I don't see why they haven't called them up a long time ago.
I've heard rumors that they were going to call up Alexis Laree, but I think I heard them like a month ago, and I haven't seen anything happen. When they can actually wrestle and wrestle well, the women put up just as good of a match as the men.
I mean, just watch the Lita vs. Trish match back in December. It was the main event and it definitely did not disappoint. It was one of, if not my favorite from the entire year! Sometimes I think the higher-ups in WWE are on crack...
If it was up to me, I'd say that Ms. Jackie should be wrestling on RAW. Bring back Gail Kim, Molly Holly, and Jazz... call up Alexis Laree and Jillian Hall from OVW and then they'd have a decent division. Of course though, it's not up to me.

Sometimes I think the higher-ups in WWE are on crack... Lol, nice, who knows. As far as the Woman's division, it is weak now, but then again so is the men, and for that matter Wrestling in general. I think the Woman's division was the best and I used to watch it in WCW. Torrie Wilson, Ms.Hancock/Stacy Kiebler, Magor Gunns, Gorgeous George, and Midjah, now they were fun to watch inside and outside the ring. |

I foujnd the actual reasons for Geez, Chilly Willy and Molly Holly's release:
Molly Holly had a 15 minute discussion with John Laurinatis negotiating her release at RAW on Monday. Holly had been unhappy in recent months and wanted out. She also found out a few days ago that there was going to be another RAW diva search and also had to 'job' to Christy Hemme on RAW. The RAW diva search winners get paid more then many of the other diva's and apparently Molly pushed to be turned babyface to push her character before requesting to be released. WWE officials didn't feel she would fit in well with that role. According to a number of sources close to Molly, she doesn’t yet know whether or not to stay in the wrestling business or leave it altogether.
The reason why "Chilly Willy" Will Jones was released was because the management felt he wasn't improving rapidly enough in OVW and didn't have enough support to help him stay under a developmental deal.
Geez' release is directly due to his injuries. WWE management felt his injuries may stop him from getting back to a physical point where he can work a full-time schedule.

Well, at least they have good reasons for releasing those. I can't exactly say that about Matt Hardy's release. If pushed in the right direction, Matt could have definitely been a top guy in the WWE, IMO. To fix the Edge/Lita/Matt problem, Matt could have come back on Smackdown! instead of RAW. To me they made a big mistake.
