It's November, time for the annual housecleaning at WWE HQ. And, this is not to be meant to be a cheery, happy thread; as I don't praise anybody losing a job (unless it's for a much better one).
So, simple question: Which wrestlers are going to be "wished well on their future endeavors"? Who's ya picks?

The roster's wafer-thin as it is, but if I really had to guess? Ezekiel Jackson and Mason Ryan. That's the only two people who I genuinely believe they have nothing for.

They haven't done a main roster release spree since 2010 (they did a small one in the summer of 2011) and I don't expect that to change.
The only releases that could happen would be at NXT and it would probably be people no one knows/cares about (ie haven't been on the show aside from being jobbers).

^if Zack or A-Ry got released, I don't think I'd want to live anymore.

I dunno, there are quite a few more NXT viewers than there used to be (some say it's the best out of all of them), so the knowledge of the wrestlers there must be a lot more than in past years. Add to that, the new Performance Center may result in a few guys being released because they want to create guys with the WWE style from the get-go without having to really re-train a lot of independent stars.
I was just listening to wrestling themes and completely forgot Yoshi Tatsu is still on the roster. So, I pick him...because I like him and WWE doesn't cater to me and what I like.

I've got this weird feeling Layla will be leaving the company soon. I've been wrong about that a few times over the years, but I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happens this time.

Since when does the WWE do firings specifically in November?
I'm pretty sure they usually do this kind of thing in the spring, though we haven't seen it done in a while.

Yeah there used to be the grand spring cleaning of the roster, and even then that hasn't happened in a while. I don't remember any massive amounts of releases in November.

Seemed to be for a few years reading PWI's year-end issue, their "Ringside" (up-to-date news) would be loaded with the November cuts.

I mean guys like Danny Burch and Angelo Dawkins who have only been squashed on NXT and guys like Adam Mercer and Troy McClain who have never been on the show despite being signed at least a year ago. If Adrien Neville or Kassius Ohno got the boot, there would be a major backlash for someone who's never been on Raw or SD yet.

I could see them getting rid of some of the NXT guys who are never on TV or exist solely to job, but otherwise, I don't see anyone on the main roster getting fired. They should just shove them to NXT, I feel as though Ryder would benefit from a feud with Enzo and Big Cass, maybe give him Mason Ryan as his Robbie T.

I don't recall there ever being that many November releases either, though if anyone is cut, they mostly do it from NXT these days since its roster is probably twice the size of the main one (if you ignore people like Yoshi and Regal who are still listed but basically no longer exist, and ones like JTG and Hawkins who are seemingly never getting TV time again in their lives). I'd say the only name anyone's heard of who's likely all that in danger of being cut any time soon is Ohno.

Fun fact: Trent Barreta is the only main roster personnel to be released from WWE this year. And that was way back in January.

I'm guessing Ohno, Yoshi, JTG, Ryan and Jackson.

Back in May, the story going around is WWE runs a "Fire 3/Promote 3/Hire 3" system for future firing sprees (fire the three worst onscreen, promote three best onscreen, hire 3 new wrestlers), so if it was the bottom 3 in each, I'd assume: Mason Ryan, Curt Hawkins, Alicia Fox.

I thought this was going to be a thread talking about wrestlers growing mustaches in November to raise awareness and money for prostate and testicular cancer.
