While we are still mired in the midst of winter, every day brings us closer to spring. And as we all know, just about every year WWE conducts a "spring cleaning" of their roster. And I'm going to venture a guess that right now, both shows have some spare change they can afford to throw into the streets. So, with that in mind, lets all consider just who is most likely going to be walking the unemployment line this year. My top guesses are Charlie Haas Jim Duggan Gregory Helms Shannon Moore Kenny Dykstra Boogeyman Mike Knox Kevin Thorn Nunzio
I am not going to claim that I am right about any of these, but at least a few of them, I suspect, will in fact be facing release. Some of them have not been seen on television in quite a while now, which makes them more or less dispensable for all the current storylines going on. Some of them have been relegated to pure jobber status, which makes them a bit more expendable. And some of them just plain have nothing to do, nor does it seem the creative staff has much in mind for them, which pretty much makes them a liability sucking up paychecks that WWE would probably rather spend to draw in some hot new talent that they actually think they can get over. Anyone got any other predictions?

I really can't see them releasing Kenny .... more than likely he'll join his buddies for a stint in the farming territories

Stevie wont get released for the one reason he has been there for so long, he is one of the developers on there games and even if Stevie got released, he'd probably get a pretty sweet deal with ROH and FIP since Gabe and him are good friends(hell, Stevie even mentioned Gabe's name on Rise and Fall)

I can't see them releasing Helms, given the nature of his injury and the fact that he has been a good employee for the company for several years now. I know some guys have gotten cut when they were injured, but I don't think they'd do it while he has a broken neck.

I'll go with... Super Crazy Jim Duggan Charlie Haas Snitsky Boogeyman And, as for a 'surprise' release - Jimmy Yang. I agree with these. With the possible but unfortunate additions of Thorn and possibly Nunzio, freeing up room for some new people in ECW. I also see Ashley going. I wouldn't be suprised if Victoria went as well (another unfortunate). Plus lots of the usual developmental talent.
