Release 10 people and why

[The Blue Nova]

Here is my list

1 Ezekiel Jackson has not been used in months and easily forgotten people would not even notice if he was released
2 Aksana does not really do much other then to job to someone
3 Tons Of funk great guys but are over shadowed since Naomi and Cameron have there Total Divas show
4 Yoshi Tasu He has not been used in months
5 Huncio not really utilized that well by the WWE would Benefit to wrestle in Mexico
6 Teddy Long He has not been used in months his character is boring
7 Rosa Mendes Does not really add much
8 Zack Ryder would be better suited off in the indys
9 Sin Cara he still has yet to adapt to the WWE style he is injured alot.
10 Curtis Axel he just does not have it once he loses the IC title I can see him floundering

[mizerable]

Alberto Del Rio - not worth the money they've invested in him. Also, the idea that the Latino audience is going to be a fan of a Mexican aristocrat...give me a break. Hunico, if given the same spot would do lightyears better.

Curtis Axel-Lord does this guy suck. Nothing about him is redeeming. It's WWE's fetish with 3rd generation stars is why he has been given multiple chances. No heat at all. No one cares...and he's made the IC title look worse than it ever had.

Kofi Kingston-Poor bastard is a ghost anymore. He's what Val Venis was in 2004. His time is over. He could go elsewhere and do better.

Mark Henry-I loved the guy's recent work, but it came down to him, Big Show and Kane. Both of them are more over, and aren't as injury prone. He isn't really needed. I'd prefer for him to retire and be an agent.

Fandango-Sorry, but I don't know what the hell he's supposed to be. His little dance is over a bit, but after the music ends, the people don't care.

Rey Mysterio-Sorry, although I was never a huge fan of the guy, his shelf life is over.

Tensai-I like Albert, but unless he goes back to Albert, it doesn't matter. He'd probably be more happy back in Japan.

Vickie Guerrero-I hate her character. Hate it. I know it's supposed to "be annoying", but there's never any long term vindication for putting up with it. No one is going to hit her and she's fired for all of one week most times.

Eva Marie-Oh boy! A roll up!

Jerry Lawler- We don't need a 3 man team, let alone a guy who has half assed it for over half a decade.

[Tha Don]

Don't you dare say JTG!

[Bootista]

Zack Ryder-Useless piece of garbage, Can't wrestle

Miz- I liked the guy during his WWE Title reign and still do but He's fallen so far, I'd put him out of his misery.

Woah no Miz on your list? Was he close?

...... Didn't he only get back from injury like 3 weeks ago?

Jack Swagger didn't make the list either, simply because he's getting help from Cesaro at the moment. If not, he'd be on there.

Miz didn't make it because I'd find a non-wrestling role for him. The male talent I listed can go elsewhere and boost the gate to their respected company. I'd rather Miz would not.

[The Masked Heel WAS WRONG]

1. Ezekiel Jackson - Getting paid to do nothing.
2. Yoshi Tatsu - As above.
3. JTG - As above.
4. Curt Hawkins - As above.
5. Zack Ryder - His 15 minutes of fame are over.
6. Rey Mysterio - He's being paid to be injured all the time.
7. Sin Cara - Same as Rey.
8. Aksana - Adds nothing of value to the Divas division.
9. Eva Marie - She isn't worth the hassle.
10. Hornswoggle - I'm not a hater, it's just that he's not really doing much anymore. No sense keeping him.

[Instant Classic]

Cameron- She sucks
Rosa- Why not?
JTG- He's never on tv or anything
Camacho- Don't care for him
Los Matadores- But come back as Primo and Epico like nothing happened
Ezekiel Jackson- Best IC Champ ever lol
Yoshi Tatsu- 36 already what are they going to do with him?
Hornswoggle- Yea
Khali- Yea


They bounce back in whatever else they do. Yeah even Cameron..

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

...why the hell would I want anyone to lose their job?

[Bub (BLM)]

1) Alberto Del Rio. I guarantee they pay him more than they make off of him and he kills the crowd every single time he goes out. Where is the upside?

That's it for me. That guy has negative value to the company.

[Perd]

Can I just release Kevin Dunn ten times?

[Toxik916]

I wouldn't release anyone right now, I'd just give them something to do. Raw and Smackdown are boring because you see the same 20 or so wrestlers every week wrestling the same matches. If anything I think they need to expand the active roster.

[RadcapRadsley]

Camacho-never used
Ezekeil Jackson-awful
Curtis Axel- No presence,average worker,pushing 35
Rosa-If they need relief backstage call someone on eros or a local strip club.
Curt Hawkins-Doesn't even appear on the z shows anymore
Jinder Mihal& Drew MacIntyre-2nd and 3rd banana's in a jobber stable. Put these 2 out of their misery and just start using local jobbers instead of them losing to the same teams dozens of times on every show.
ADR- Dear God cut your loses Gretchen and stop trying to make fetch happen . He is probably one of your best workers but every feud he has ever been in bored the audience.
Hornswoggle-Job him out to El Torito then release him

[celticjobber]

I would release:

1. JBL (He's annoying and takes shots at people he dislikes in real life on the air)
2. Lawler (Has absolutely no passion anymore. Just retire already).
3. Curtis Axel (the guy just doesn't have "it")
4. JTG (Surprised he still has a job. Let he and Shad reunite on the indies).
5. Rosa Mendez (I have no idea why/how she's been employed for so long. Useless.)
6. Cameron (Seems like a terrible person IRL, and sucks in the ring)
7. Eva Marie (Cut her and bring up one of the many talented Divas from NXT)
8. Curt Hawkins (He's paid to sit at home...)
9. Ezekial Jackson (See Curt Hawkins)
10. Khali (it looks like he struggles to even walk)

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

The Great Khali - Barely mobile and can't speak English.

That's the only one. I don't agree with the idea that someone should be released just because they're not a potential main eventer. With proper booking, time management, and some changes in philosophy, everyone else can serve some kind of purpose on the roster, even someone deemed "useless" like Curtis Axel.

I would push everyone (credibility wise, not necessarily giving them storylines), to the level that I feel their ability earns instead of just jobbing out everyone who isn't doing anything.

A guy like Big Zeke isn't that good of a worker, then he remains a low card enhancement talent, so that the more talented guys with bigger upsides can be relieved of jobbing duties and not have to job as much.
A guy like Zack Ryder seems to be bad at most aspects of wrestling, but still has the charisma to compensate, he's a solidly featured low card performer who wins as often as he loses.
Evan Bourne is a talented worker, but screwed up too many times to be trusted, I'd keep him confined exclusively to NXT, Superstars, Main Event and SmackDown as a JTTS and never bring him on RAW.
Instead of shoving Axel into the orbit of main eventers while intentially making him out to look incompetent, I'd have him working with fellow mid to low carders.
A guy like Alex Riley has the tools, but can't seem to put all of them together, then just let him thrive in the midcard, putting on fun matches to pop the crowd.
Guys like Swagger, or Del Rio doesn't seem to be catching on with the crowd, but have the in ring chops to look credible against the big boys, then keep them on as utility players who can work any level of the card. I
A guy like Miz, Ziggler, Ryback or Barrett has presence, but are missing the one or more intangibles to become be a long term, consistent main eventer, let them use that presence to elevate the midcard titles instead of just floating around in "too good for midcard, but not good enough to main event purgatory"

[thegame415]

I'm going to play devils advocate and say instead of releasing, they should just find things for people to do.

[Raskovnik]

Ambrose x 10

I would fire and rehire him and fire him again every day. Like the modern Prometheus.

[TGM]

I'll just do 3.

Jack Swagger - the guy must have somebody big batting for him. His absolutely terrible first title reign was the first clue. Then he gets a nice sabbatical and comes back worse than ever, but was handed the Wrestlemania title shot and he manages to screw that up as well. He's just dragging Cesaro down.

The Miz - just go away. Completely bland and does nothing for me as a face or a heel. The only piece of work I've liked from him was Awesome Truth and even that was mostly because of Truth. I think Miz is recognisable enough to try other forms of entertainment.

Chris Jericho - kinda cheating here but whenever Jericho makes a "surprise" appearance I just groan with boredom. If only his band where any good, then he could stay away for longer.

[Some Guy]

Stephanie McMahon.
