Main Roster Departures » Aaron “Goose” Mahoney (referee) – Anyone can be a Ref in the WWE now that they stripped them all of names/personalities.
» Aloisia - Giant Baby looking chick who probably would have stunk it up in the ring. And was a bit of a bitch apparently. No big loss.
» Ashley Valence – No big loss here. Just another pretty face.
» Batista – Douche Bag Heel Batista with full blown spotlight entrance was the only time the guys been entertaining since he left Evolution. Shame he ended up leaving, but I imagine he'll be back.
» Carlito – Never seemed like he wanted to be in the company, so it's probably no big loss in the long run. Peaked early on and eventually became nothing but filler, even though he's decent in the ring.
» Caylen Croft – Obviously the least talented of the two, but I'm not sure why they would just flat cut him instead of sending him back to FCW ala Curt Hawkins when the Edgeheads broke up.
» Charlie Haas – Has always been good in the ring, but incredibly boring and wasn't ever going to get over with his lack of charisma. Sad when everyones idea to get him over agian (Reform WGTT) didn't work.
» Chris Jericho – Not much to say. One of the greatest ever. But was getting a tad stale, even though him being stale is still better than just about everyone else on the roster. He'll be back.
» Daniel Bryan – Not much to say here either, considering he's back and the current U.S. Champ. The same U.S. Champ who isn't on RAW but on Superstars?
» Eric Escobar – The perennial FCW guy who couldn't shine in the role of Vickie's lover like Dolph has been able to. No loss at all. The guy was trash in the ring even after all those years in "development"
» Gregory Helms – The Hurricane gimmick is beyond stale, and he wasn't going to be able to get over as Gregory Helms. Kind of pain in the ass outside of the ring as well. Not going to be missed.
» Jamie Keyes – Fiberous. That's all.
» Jillian Hall – As much praise as she got for running with a bad gimmick and making it work, it wasn't going to get her anywhere and had been done to death. Got a minute long Title reign as a thank you. Looks like a wax dummy with fake tits.
» Jimmy Wang Yang – I was shocked to even learn he was still around in 2010. Never did much of anything besides wrestle good matches that nobody was watching. Wasn't ever going to be pushed.
» Katie Lea – Such a talented Diva, but never really used correctly because she didn't have "the look" She's probably better of in TNA, which is sad, considering the girls there make nothing.
» Kaval – Completely understandable that he'd want his release after winning NXT2 and then having creative "have nothing for him" Here is an idea, WRITE SOMETHING FOR HIM! The guy was unique in the ring and the fans liked him. Oh well.
» Kung Fu Naki – He shouldn't have even been around as long as he was. Never did anything important other than avoid getting fired.
» Luke Gallows – Talk about a missed opportunity. Suffered the most out of the SES/Rey/Big Show feuds and ended up apparently being expendable, even though he's one of the more talented big men in wrestling and a lot younger than most people think.
» Maria – Hot as hell, but pretty much had run her course in terms of doing anything important. Never really got any good in ring wise, not that it takes much in the WWE to be a Diva in ring wise.
» Matt Hardy – Obviously not happy being in the company anymore. Let himself get out of shape and then became a huge nob and pain in the ass. Have fun with your drugged up brother in TNA.
» Mickie James – Went from one of the most popular Divas in the company, to being an annoyance to Cena and distracted by her "music" career. No big loss as she'd gotten a lot worse in the ring and wasn't as good looking as she was before.
» Mike Knox – Another talented big man let go (I thought the WWE had a boner for big guys who could work?). Probably suffered from lack of connection with the fans and having no personality.
» MVP – Oh how the mighty can fall. Once heralded by just about everyone as being the next big main event talent...to jobbing on Smackdown and eventually released. Too old to ever come back and be anything and can't work in Japan/Canada thanks to his troubled past. Maybe TNA?
» Paul Burchill – Talented guy who never seemed to be given much of a chance. The stupid Pirate gimmick that everyone loves was never going to amount to anything even if they let him keep it. Never ending ECW feud with Hurricane did a whole lot of nothing in the end.
» Savannah – Nice stripper name. Maybe she could strip.
» Scott Armstrong (referee) – Remember when I said anyone could be a WWE referee earlier? I meant everyone but this guy. He sucked big time.
» Serena – Overrated "diva" and I don't mean the WWE type. Dumber than a box of rocks to not listen to management the first time they told her to not go out and make a drunken fool of herself while on TV as a member of the SES. Comical boobs didn't help.
» Shad Gaspard – Cryme Tyme was popular, but wasn't ever going to be pushed. (Racist much, WWE?) Never really showed anything good and sucked in his heel turn. When they release JTG, those two can team up again on the Indies.
» Shawn Michaels – Tough call on this. He was still putting on amazing matches, but was getting older and slower and starting too look like a train wreck. I hope he never comes back in the ring.
» Slam Master J – Sometimes being the son of a legend gets you nowhere. Not to mention he's nothing special in the ring and was doing a ridiculous gimmick. » Shelton Benjamin – One of the better in-ring guys the WWE has had the past decade, but never really ever seemed to take advantage of the momentum and fluttered out. Sometimes he seemed like even he didn't want to watch himself wrestle. » Tiffany – Hot, and did well in her role as ECW GM, but apparently a psycho. Though if what she said about the casting couch was true, I commend her.
» Tommy Dreamer – ECW was dying, and Tommy was really only around because people would still chant ECW for him. But once NXT was planned, he was pretty much viewed as being nothing but a past him prime waste of money.
» Tony Atlas – The laughing thing was funny about the first time. After that...what was the point of keeping him around?
» Vance Archer – A casualty of ECW dying. The guy was building himself up as being a legit menace and SHOULD have used that steam to do what Sheamus did going to RAW, only to Smackdown. Instead, he ends up in dreaded tag team with Curt Hawkins and then cut. Because the WWE are apparently morons.

Lets cry together,lets share the prain,.I will let you do booshs if you want. Triple Boosh? Shelton should have never been released. Ever. The ONLY plus to Shelton's release is that WGTT is back in the indies (well, and the fact that he seems like 500 times happier). But seriously, Shelton is one of the ones that really made me sad. My jaw was on the floor the rest of the day after I found out.

I doubt WWE ever really saw something in him, that "it" factor that's needed in wrestling. He was amazing in the ring, and while he may not have been the best on the mic, they could have given him a manager to talk for him. Fact is, after those wins over Triple H, he could have been built up to be something huge. And much like Kaval and Vance, he was let go without ever reaching his full potential.

He has charisma... He just doesn't know how to talk. It's really sad considering how many memorable moments he had in WWE. I'll never forget that Superkick

Yokuzuna especially needed Cornette, because he hardly spoke at all. Going back further, Freddie Blassie was an amazing manager, as was Captain Lou. It's sad that this era of the WWE doesn't have any managers. Instead, we have to see "bodyguards". And if Jackson Andrews is any indication, we're screwed.

Still shocked they let Mickie go. She really didn't need to be let go and it can only hurt the divas division her not being there.
What Shawn Michaels were you watching?

Actually I would watch a 2010 WWE departures and endeavors promotion.
Face Main Event: Michaels, MVP, Heel Main Event: Batista, Jericho
Face Uppermid: Helms, Kaval, Matt, Shelton, Dreamer Heel Uppermid: Carlito, Gallows, Knox, Burchill
Face Mid: JWY, SMJ, Corfty Heel Mid: Haas, Shad, Vance
Face Jobber: KFN, Heel Jobber: Escobar
Face Women: Keyes, Maria, Mickie, Savannah , Tiff Heel women: Jillian, Katie Lea, Serena
Refs: Goose, Armstrong
Ring Announcer: Ashley
Interviewer: Courtney T
Manager for someone: Atlas
Could also probably throw in some of the dev talent in jobber/midcarder roles especially DJ Gabriel who I think was majorly wasted. And Sanchez but in his Black Pain gimmick. and Verity because holy f*** is she hot
Would you not watch this program? WOULD YOU NOT WATCH IT???

WWE has been having problems with releasing so many talent, I think that's why they're having such a hard time creating stars. They don't give anyone a chance.

SOURCE: www.sescoops.com/wrestling-news/wwe/complete-list-of-wwe-talent-departures-in-2010-50-names/World Wrestling Entertainment parted ways with 54 performers from their talent roster in 2010, marking the fifth consecutive year in which over 50 departures occurred within a calendar year. WWE dropped 35 main roster talents and 19 developmental talents over the course of 2010. 2010 also saw a record setting number of Diva turnover as 14 female talents parted ways with WWE, including 10 from the main roster. 5 years where they've dropped over 50 workers... What a horrible statistic. This is why I absolutely despise WWE developmental as it stands now as to the 'E, practically everyone who comes from there is expendable. If you don't get over immediately, you get dumped and replaced by someone from developmental, regardless of whether or not it's your fault. Creative saddles you with a stupid gimmick and you can't get that over, off you go. Creative gives you nothing to do, off you go. Creative does nothing with you but use you as a monster jobber and you don't get/stay over, off you go. Creative won't let you near the main shows and keeps you on Superstars and you don't get a pop when you finally do make an appearance on the big 2, off you go. If by some fluke you get over despite their disinterest in you, they'll find some way to kill your momentum rather than get you to the next level and leave you dead in the water and growing increasingly bitter rather than making money for the company... Something is horribly, horribly wrong with the WWE as it stands and it's the talent who suffer, never the people responsible for the halfhearted booking of so many workers.

Half those guys should still be there, I'm not joking.
Shelton, Knox, Yang, Gallows, Croft, Archer, Kaval, MVP, Burchill...if only the WWE knew how to book midcarders these days, they might still be.

I'll never forget that Superkick I thought they were actually going to do something with him when they had him take on the Undertaker on Smackdown, and made it clear that Shelton wasn't afraid of him. Of course, that was probably the nail in the coffin (and he was probably SUPPOSED to be afraid of UT, but just didn't bother)...
