Again, Del Rio getting cut wouldn't save them anything, just ilke cutting anyone with a high guarantee woudn't save them anything. They'd still have to pay him his guarantee, and then pay someone else to wrestle on the shows he would've wrestled on. Cutting Del Rio loses them money. That's why NXT and lowest rung main roster talents get cut. Assuming that the time that would've gone to Del Rio goes to other wrestlers, then it gives those other wrestlers an opportunity to prove their worth and not be viewed as "expendable". Part of the reason why we haven't had a "spring cleaning" until recently is because of Edge's forced retirement and people like Maryse, Maxine and Ted Jr. opting to leave or ask for their release of their own free will.

That changes nothing in terms of concrete dollars. Del Rio's presence isn't the reason why some people don't get used. If WWE wanted to use them, they'd find a way. They're backups.

I'm a fan of Kris Kristofferson, so I'm kind of sorry to see Garrett Dylan go. Other than that, none of my favorites from NXT have been released. These releases (so far) aren't really regulars on the NXT program.

Garrett Dylan and Raquel Diaz should become a combo on the indies.

Nooooo those guys were all awesome. WWE shouldn't have cut them, they were useful somewhere. Am I doing this right?

No, because it's a business. Not everybody has written obligations to be pushed as far as some fans subjectively feel they should go before they're given up on. The guys released today were expendable given the circumstances and WWE loses nothing by releasing them.

Also, you seriously making a "best for business" argument (no; you're trolling, but let's just pretend)? The WWE uses its resources hiring and employing these guys in the first place, only to cut them before they have any chance to pay dividends? This is something you hold up as good business practices?

Agreed. If they aren't going to be used in a productive manner they should've never been hired in the first place. Talents are only as useful as the company allows them to be.

You forgot to add WWE is stupid for firing them and wishing (insert lest liked person on the roster here) was fired instead. As someone who been fired from jobs before, it f***ing sucks but that's how things go. The unfortunate reality is with some heavy hitters and new folks coming in to NXT, the bottom percentile got pink slipped. Shawn Ricker spent years before coming to NXT as touted as someone who was custom made for WWE. But he got deemed expandable at some point while in developmental. I hate to be that guy but if some people got to go to make room for Kenta, Devitt, Steen, etc; there's the door. Most of the people in NXT won't make it to the main roster. Even less will make a name for themselves on the main roster.

f*** me, man. Everyone's been going nuts (justifiably) waiting for Crowe to debut? Well that was me with Shaun Ricker. Ever since I first saw him I thought he could make it big in WWE. He has such star quality, but he never even made it on NXT TV. I'm so disappointed. But I'm not going to play the "THEY FIRED MY GUY BUT THIS OTHER GUY GETS TO KEEP HIS JOB?!?!?" game.
It really is a shame though. I was hoping for big things from Garrett Dylan too.

I'm not agreeing that it's "good" business practices, but it is "business practices." That's the corporate world. I work in it and have had family get laid off for bullshit reasons. It sucks but it's reality. What isn't reality is assuming that everybody hired will get a chance to be a main event guy to shine and only if they flopped at the highest level can they be considered failures. My original post with the wink face was a joke because it seems as though every time somebody gets released from WWE, no matter how low on the card, it's expected that someone here will insist they could have main evened WrestleMania and brought on the boom period (exaggerating, btw) were it not for the evil WWE to overlook their massive talents. Sure, you'd have to be good to be hired by WWE, but the world would be experiencing a great shortage of tiny violins if every guy released in history was wept over.

Not everyone is going to get to main event but that doesn't mean they don't have a place. I don't even like any of the guys that were released, but they could've easily been used, even if just for Ascension Squash #24601 (as opposed to bringing in outsiders for those matches). It's not that they "could've main evented WrestleMania". It's that they could've been used better than they were.

Yeah. I know it's a bit hypocritical but I don't think he's any good. To me, Bull brings nothing to the table except a means for WWE to say "See? we DON'T push/hire guys based on their looks/physiques".
