Regarding the future of ECW talent stemming from WWE's decision to pull the entire roster from Tuesday nights in support of the new NXT series, the feeling is that most of the wrestlers will find their way onto other brands rather than be released. As the storyline goes, ECW talent will become "free agents" once NXT debuts and can choose to join either RAW or SmackDown!.
While roster changes have not yet been finalized, the plan at last word was to keep key partnerships such as Zack Ryder & Rosa Mendes and William Regal & Ezekiel Jackson together when sending them to RAW or SmackDown!.
At least in the short-term, most of the ECW talent will be used on WWE Superstars rather than RAW or SmackDown!. I'd almost bet that Christian is an exception to that as I've heard he's expected to wind up over on the SmackDown! brand in the near future.

Dazed and Confused, if you were saying that to me, then maybe you should know that the news reporter is NOT to copy word for word, but to write the same news in his/her own words.
Who's the moron now?

Yeah, man. Shelton Benjamin is seriously underrated. I usually don't feel strongly about this sort of thing, but I think Shelton could be great TNA world champion (after working his way through some amazing ultimate x matches).

Shelton Benjamin sucks. Also, here's hoping that this reporter gets fired.
