It's that time of the year again...

Releases time in WWE, so whose going to be off? Got to consider Lesnar and Rock are on big contracts each so could more be off than usual.

I reckon:

Trent Baretta
Alex Riley
Tyler Reks
Camacho
Hunico
Yoshi Tatsu
The Great Khali
Heath Slater
Johnny Curtis
Aksana
Alicia Fox

To be fired:
Evan Bourne - believe he has to be kept on till after his injury?

Could be fired:
JTG - only didn't list him due to him being considred for marine 3 apparantly.
Sin Cara - Mr Botch could be a high profile sacking

Apparantly more FCW talent are expected to debut in the coming months as well.

Cant see Great Khali going

his knees are shot and now they have jinder Mahal to attract the Indian fans

Khali is over and has been in high profile spots in the last few months. Mahal, to put it nicely, isn't over in the slightest and I doubt he'd attract anyone, Indian or otherwise. I'd say fire Mahal and keep Khali on in a part time role. He is basically the Indian Andre the Giant.

Aksana? Isn't she in some sort of storyline with Teddy Long? As for the rest, I can definitely see them going.

I'd go with:

Camacho
Heath Slater
Alex Riley
Johnny Curtis
Most of the current NXT bunch
Ted DiBiase jnr
Curt Hawkins

Shock picks:

Justin Gabriel
Ezekiel Jackson

Hawkins was involved with helping Rock train, can't see WWE getting shot of him as he would have some use. Can see them keeping DiBiase as well purely for who he is.

Ted DiBiase is in a dangerous spot, in honesty. he's been on the main roster for 3 or 4 years now, was widely tipped to be a world champ by now... and hasn't even had an IC title reign. He's competent enough in-ring, but has the charisma and presence of a dead badger.

WWE have fired much bigger and better people than him.

I reckon he will be given a manager, WWE seem to be high on them and as you say he is competent in the ring

Jackson is a possible as he's really done nothing of note in months. I think Gabriel might be safe as they seem to be looking to team him with Tyson Kidd on a regular basis.

and he's there in for a south african market

I pretty much think anyone who wasn't on the main Mania card (with the exception of the injured guys) is in trouble. Gabriel's just dull, take away his finisher and he offers very little. Using the 'he appeals to the African market!' isn't much of an argument - Kofi Kingston is also African, and waaay more over than him, and it would also mean Yoshi Tatsu has a job for longer as he's appealing to the japanese market.

Another guy could be Mark Henry - he might not be fired, but his contract is supposed to be up soon, he's reportedly unhappy...

I think that it could be the midcard guys that are in trouble this cut as they are paid more than the jobbers and are easily replaced by up and comers from developmental. The names I think will be:
Alex Riley
Evan Bourne
Ezekial Jackson
Goldust (where the hell is he?!)
Great Khali

Goldust also does a backstage role, I seem to remember he helps train the Diva's or something.

He should be released on thatpoint alone.

Nope, he deserves a knighthood. Picture the scene:

Goldust: Kelly Kelly, I think you should add the Bronco Buster to your moveset. I'll talk you through it. First, I sit in the corner. Second, you shove your chuff over my face and wiggle around...

Kelly Kelly: Okay... now what?

Goldust: Keep going for a bit longer... a bit longer... and I'm done!

They need to get rid of Lord tensai as fast as he came in. that has got to he the worst gimmick in the history of the WWE.

I think Alex Riley has back tracked only to receive more training. I think he'll be a great superstar one day. also, I don't think we'll see debiasi go anywhere while his father is still involved. plus I would love to see him be successful.

There were rumors over the weekend that WWE has made some releases but they won't be announced until everything is finalized and the talents are notified.

Yeah but he's actually decent in the ring, especially for a big cunt, if your gonna get rid of people for gimmicks brodus can fuck off

I'd keep Lord Tensai over Brodus Clay to be honest. I think WWE will use him better.

I think Tensai might struggle to be honest. He's getting a lot of 'Albert' chants and I think that might make it harder for people to take him as seriously as WWE want. That said, I'm hopeful that his ring work will win people over.

It's a matter of time before Brodus turns into being a big dominating heel, Kane and Henry will both be off soon, Big Show will only have a year or 2 in him I reckon. After that Brodus will be one of the more used big guys.

Honestly,

At least Brotus is somewhat entertaining. Everything I watch of Lord tensai he looks ridiculous in the ring. even though he doesn't claim to be Asian he attempts to act and sound Asian while wrestling and it is awful. when brotus wrestles he acts like a big guy and not a little Asian man who happens to way 400lbs.

No, when Brodus wrestles he acts all camp and jiggles his legs, and the fact Tensai has been wrestling in Japan at least gives reasoning for the gimmick, Brodus on the other hand is wasted with that funkasauras shit

Well at least's he's not just another Mark Henry and is somewhat entertaining.
