As I've stated before, I miss the days of WWE having a big roster. The guys they used as jobbers like Trent Barreta and Curt Hawkins are too talented. I miss Val Venis and Scotty 2 Hotty.

Yeah, but Rodney Thomas quit too. And John Morrison's contract ran out. I may do an FCW special on all the released talent, writing a little blurb on them.

She tried to do a forward roll & just kinda jumped into the floor face first. It's probably on youtube, kinda hard to describe. 24 seconds in. Never heard of World Of Hurt til now, totally stoked to watch that. Thanks for the heads-up (and holy crap that self-piledriver looked painful)

Edge, Morrison, Chavo, Maryse, McCool, Melina and Khali all leaving were probably saving graces for the roster because they're all veterans and probably had huge salaries compared to this current roster of 2008+ debuts who make half as much.

Chavo, Maryse, DH Smith, Masters, Kozlov, Melina and Gail Kim. This is it, correct? I can't remember the last time we had a year with so few people being canned. Technically, Maryse and Kim weren't "canned." They were actually released or did not renew their contracts because they didn't want to be there anyway.

I don't like the spring cleaning hype. It's total, raw, unabashed schadenfreude. And what good does that do? Make people feel better that other people lost their jobs? Exactly. Even if I don't care for a wrestler, it's always sad when someone loses their job, particularly if they have family to care for.

I know it must killed some not to be able to go on a tirade on why said future endeavored person was fired when so and so ( usually JTG or Rosa) is still on the roster. Personally I think some take too much gleeful pleasure for Black Friday post Mania. It got to a point everyday there was thread or 3 asking when the hatchet was going to drop.

Khali is still listed on the WWE Superstars page, for what it's worth.

I don't think they go for a big spring cleaning. With WWE Network coming up, they could put even the least used talents to actually do something. Lookin' At Shoes With Trent Barreta
