I dont get it how does the WWE Clean out its unused Talent and keep EVERY MEMBER OF THE SPIRIT SQUAD? ? Are they really planning to make everyone of them a star?

I wouldnt be surprised if the non-Kennies get fired. They oughta just go ahead and axe Chris Nowinski too. Just because someone has a head injury doesnt mean you gotta pay them the rest of their life. Then drop Conway (I know some people here like him for some reason. Not me), Sylvan, and Dupree, and be done with the cuts for now.

Guys who needed to go. Badly.
Khali -- I don't care how big he is. A man who is virtually immobile and cannot perform a televised match without heavy editing should not be on your payroll. Ever.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan -- Most fans today are too young to remember him, and most of the fans who do remember him have long ago stopped caring. The nostalga trip has passed, let it go. And him too.
Eugene -- Either repackage him or release him, but the fans have stopped caring about this "special" wrestler a long time ago.

As for Nowinski, the guy's got a job for a long time coming. They keep him on to do publicity, and get to brag that they've got a Harvard grad on the payroll.

Jim Duggan is more over than about 50% of the entire face roster. He shouts "HOOOOO" and every single member of the audience responds. He's not out to claim titles or hog TV time - he's happy to job and he gets the crowd going.
Plus the guy was broke and had cancer a few year back - I certainly don't begrudge him ten minutes of TV time a month.

I agree about Jim Duggan. As long as he's just there for a bit of a nostalgia run and doesn't get any title runs or take up too much time on TV then he's fine with me.

Could someone tell me why he was attacked by RKO? Of all the people who could team with Michaels they think Ric Flair and Hacksaw Jim Duggan?
I really would love to see Dupree get cut. I have yet to see what is so great about him plus, from meeting him a few times (I collect pics and autos), he is a prick. Conway is a decent talent and Sylvie ain't going nowhere, well except to Pennsylvania with Pat Patterson.
In a perfect world, the would form a new faction of Conway, Doug Basham, Eugene and some other guy and form a new Revolution faction like Benoit, Saturn, Malenko and Douglas did in WCW.

Eugene -- Either repackage him or release him, but the fans have stopped caring about this "special" wrestler a long time ago. Agreed. Was funny and something different when he first arrived. But it got old. Fast.

Am I the only guy here who loves Renee Dupree and thinks that if WWE wanted, he could be huge?

Cuts are based largely on budget concerns. The ex-spirit squad guys probably make next to nothing, especially while they're in OVW. A guy like Terkay on the other hand, probably signed a pretty nice contract based on his credentials, but when it became clear they weren't going to use him as a major player, they didn't want to pay that kind of money to a sidekick/enforcer type.

They gotta get rid of the "Four Horsemen of Crap" Val, Scotty, Stevie, and Funaki. All 4 are useless and do absolutely nothing.

Sorry but the "Four Horseman of Crap" are staying were they are.

I think the post-concussive syndrome is going to keep him off the active roster indefinitely, but he's definitely earning his keep in the office.

I can see Nicky and Mitch getting the boot, I think we'll see Jeter again. Mikey will probably get repackaged.

Have you ever SEEN Val work? He's immaculate, one of the best all-round workers in the company, good on the mic and with a good look... he just seems to have drawn the jobber card. T'others are better than several on the roster as well (Balls Mahoney, I'd be looking at you, if you didn't sicken me.

Yeah No-Show Mahoney does seem to be destined for the list, doesn't he.
And I don't get that either. Val got the shaft big time. *I'll pause and let everyone appreciate that one* He's always over with the in-house crowds, he ALWAYS looks great in the ring, he's got charisma to spare...

I really think Great Khali should get axed. He's certainly HUGE but almost completely immobile (he has less mobility than Big Show AFTER the back problems), can only do about two moves, and is basically in because Mcmahon thinks he can turn any 7 foot plus guy into Andre II. Unless if he suddenly gets really over on the mic or develops a huge fan following (the two are usually linked in WWE), I can't see him going anywhere. Viscera also has to go, for much the same reasons (replace the "really tall" part of huge with "really wide" and you got Vis).
I don't know about the non-Kenny Spirit Squad, they might eventually return from OVW with new gimmicks. I don't see any reason to get rid of Val or Scotty either--at least they aren't TV time hogs like some other people.

Mitch is one of the guys from tough enough, they don't give up on tough enough kids easially unless they REALLY suck.
Mikey... I dunno, maybe they just kept him around to keep Torrie happy.
Johnny has been in developmental for several years now, they're probably not giving up on him after one turn in the big leagues
Nicky ...I think they forget Nick Nemeth and Nick Mitchell are two different members of the Spirit Squad.

People still need to realize that even if a wrestler sucks, the WWE still needs jobbers for squashes. Who's gonna be squashed when the new guy comes in? Smackdown's got cruiserweights but RAW doesn't, so they keep around the jobbers. I'm sorry, let me be politically correct, ENHANCEMENT TALENT.
