The question isn't so much why did WWE release these folks, but who should have been released instead.
I'd trade Bob Holly and Coach for the Dudleys. Heck, throw in Tyson Tomko as well to get Spike back too.
BTW, does this round of firings remind anyone of that Simpsons episode where Homer was the Pee Wee football coach? "You're cut, you're cut...cut cut cut..."

Val Venis - don't need him, stale gimmick Bob Holly - too much of a liability, can't really get over Tomko - not even a decent bodyguard Rosey - Jamal was the better of the 2 Orlando Jordan - most boring title holder in the company

-Heidenreich - so we dont get to the inevitable he sleeps with kids angle.
-Tyson Tomko - now that Christian has swicthed shows, he really has no purpose.
-Sylvain Grenier - he will flop as a singles wrestler on SD.
-Big Show - time to cut your loses on him, he had an ok run early on, but that 10 year deal was a mistake past early 2000.
-Todd Grisham - HORRIBLE announcer, Maria is entertaining as a backstage interview, Coach is better, please just rid us of Grisham.
-Mark Henry - injury prone, never amounted to anything, heard he recently signed a new deal to be a promotional type guy, still dont want him around.
-Candice and Lauren Jones - they fired Joy who actually was in a storyline at one point, so why keep around extra divas who have done absolutly nothing.
I dont believe Snitsky and Chris Masters should be let go, but i would ship them back to OVW because they have gotten some good reviews in the past, Snitsky from the Wild Samoans camp and Masters from UPW in California, so I would keep them around, just not up on the main roster at this time.

I don't have a great love for HHH or Shawn Micheals, but I'd rather see them then BOB HOLLY!! Why is this redneck hillbilly still employeed??? Bob sucks so royally that it really isn't funny. He's never been over and never will be over. He isn't a great worker. He's not a great Jobber. He isn't even a good backstage leader. I'd rather have the Ultimate Warrior than damn Bob Holly. Somebody either fire or kill this man...PLEASE!

Tomko Bob Holly Mark Henry (ain't going anywhere till his bogus contract is done with) Chris Masters
These are the basic deadweight that don't need to be in the WWE. And for those saying Mark Jindrak didn't deserve to be fired and had potential, I can only laugh hysterically.

They need to get rid of any chicks from Diva Search because of how generic they are. Boot Tyson Tomko, Val Venis, Jerry lawler (yes please), and Bob Holly.

They released Marc Lloyd, so now Todd Grisham does all the upcoming announcements on WWE TV up here.

Surprisingly... I checked the WWE.com raw roster and apparently The Rock is still on it. He hasn't been on WWE TV for what over a year? So I think he should be released as well.
Who is Steve Romero??? He should be cut too.

The following,
Todd Grisham (Completely useless and that's being kind to him)
Edge (Since becoming a singles wrestler he has become more boring than Lance Storm was ever alleged to be)
Jerry Lawler (His act was tired out years ago,now he's plain irritating)
All the Diva Search bimbos (They may look nice but there are plenty of other sources for people looking for T&A without taking up space on a wrestling show which could be better used in helping new wrestlers get over)
Scotty 2 Injured (The Worm. Need I say more?)
Mark Henry (Is mostly injured and doesn't exactly set the world alight on the rare occasions he's actually able to perform)

Val Venis - don't need him, stale gimmick Orlando Jordan - most boring title holder in the company VAL VENIS HAS A GIMMICK!? Orlando's title reign boring? Remember Matt Hardy's European title reign of 2001? That was brutal.

I'm pretty sure that Mark Henry is under a 10 year, no cut deal. His contract expires next year I think.
Can't believe the Bashams have made it this far, either.

I should add that I've heard from a pretty reliable source that the original cut count was 23. That would mean 5 more but who knows. Maybe they counted Dawn Marie and her unborn child as 2?
