I honestly don't know why they held on to Ryan as long as they have.
I fully expect to see the same conversation happening about Rusev in a year's time.

Mason had to go.
One Batista is already one too many

Should have stuck Oliver Grey and Danny Burch together to bolster the straggling tag division in NXT. A Hugh Grant-esque figure teaming with a Vinnie Jones/Phil Mitchell-esque cockney tough guy? Hilarity would ensue.

It's less about him getting injured and more about his tag team partner moving on to the upper tier without him. WWE wasn't going to wait around for him and keep Neville in a holding pattern. Adrian proved he didn't need a partner and that killed Grey's stock. They could've easily teamed him with someone else. It's not like NXT has a booming tag division. And even if there was no one on the developmental roster he could mesh with, they could've picked a main roster talent to help him get over with the fans. WWE could had but they didn't. Sometimes timing means everything. Viktor got saved from the pink slip when Kenneth Cameron got fired for his screwup. Oliver came back right after the last round of tryouts and WWE is making room for new folks coming in. Folks deemed expandable got the boot.

So basically they just fired the entire UK minus Neville?

We never got a Mason Ryan-Batista encounter. In regards to Shaul, something must be up since Vickie is leaving as well.

It was Batista, you silly gooses.

I'm surprised about Shaul/Raquel, she's been released twice now in a couple of years and they usually try their hardest to have second generation wrestlers make it, I guess it could be behavioral or injury related.
With Zeke being let go Mason doesn't surprise me, he was getting better on NXT but they have enough big men on the roster now who are just like him, maybe in an alternate universe he would have been a good bodyguard or tag partner to a more savvy wrestler.
I don't think Grey got much of a chance, he had a push before his injury as Adrian Neville's tag partner, but he just returned from that injury and lost to Camacho, he could've at least been a midcarder or jobber on NXT for a while and they could've experimented with his gimmick a bit more.
They have so many non-factors that have been there for years and done nothing like Jason Jordon and Sawyer Fulton, I remember them on the FCW website and have yet to see them on TV in a non-jobber role.

I always kinda liked Ryan, the big lug. Maybe because he was on Gladiators.
Oliver Grey, damn, seems a real shame. That injury royally screwed him. They could have, and should have, done something with him when he got back. Like others said, a new tag team perhaps.
I hope Shaul goes on to good things, but I am a little relieved she won't be back on NXT.
I heard Sarah Backman might be gone, hope not, she looked intriguing.

Hilarity would ensue. You have no idea how much I would've loved that. Get Regal to manage them and you'd have gold! Something must've been up with Shaul though. She's been back what, a few weeks, maybe a couple of months? Shame about Mason though. He always seemed so goddamn happy to be there.

Why describe Mason as a welsh talent and Burch and Grey as british talents? Either you call all three british, or you use the regional terms for all three.

We need the 2 frame dancing Mason Ryan gif in here to brighten the mood someone post it! :P NEVER FORGET....THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE! You're lucky this is a family friendly message board because my idea for this GIF would get me banned faster than Donald Sterling at a Clippers game.
