Its really weird about the Legionaries. They were a huge part of NXT on the Network early on and they just vanished after the feud with Enzo and Cass. Especially with Lefort managing Billie Kaye, I think he would've been great in that role.

Bull and LeFort had a lot of potential, that's a real shame.

Damn, I really liked Bull. I thought his current gimmick was hilarious, and I also thought The Legionnaires had potential in mid-2014 when they debuted. Very classy of them, too. Most others would make a sneak diss at the company, so it's nice to see them leave on good terms. Take care Bull. I'll always remember that time you high fived me on your way to the back in London.  |

I am actually not shocked by this. Seeing how he went from a featured player to barely used starmaker quick time, the writing was on the wall about his standings. He'll get booking for being a NXT alumni and show he was more than the fat guy with the ill fitting tights. Another reason why NXT needs an actual midcard instead of cycling people down the card and out the door.

It's a shame they didn't do more with The Legionnaires, but thems the breaks sometimes.
(At least they waited until Louis managed to grow his hair back and regain his sanity before letting him go)

The Bull-Fit gimmick was pretty over for a while, much more so than the unthreatening monster they tried to portray him as.
I could have seen his WWE main roster career only being a more short lived version of what Brodus Clay was.

Comedy face jobbers that can pop the live crowd can last pretty much forever on the main roster. |

Not too much of a shock. As new people are coming in you either need to look like the future (Finn and Corbin) or be the future (Swann and Biff). Bull just stagnated and didn't seem to have a future. I am pretty sure that he'll get another look down the line though.

WWE is not forward thinking at all. Bull was soon to have a body better than Finn Balor and John Morrison put together.

Nothing was really lost except that I wish Lefort stuck around as a manager. I liked him that role and wanted to see what he could do with Billie Kay.

I think WWE are only looking for "main roster potential" in NXT these days.
These guys were decent but probably never would have made the main roster, hence their releases.

Judging by when these guys were signed, I think these are contracts expiring and not firings, not positive though.

Does the Impact Zone need more Bull than it already has? TUNE INTO POP TO FIND OUT!

Can't say I'm surprised Dempsey was never getting to the main roster and didn't do Anything of note on NXT.

I'm seeing reports that a couple of talents that never made it to TV may have also been cut, that being Oscar "Magno" Vasquez and Peter Howard (both signed in the Crews/Kay/Royce group).
