"Oh shit! He's getting massively over in the midcard scene! Better take him off TV immediately and then release him!"
An actual thought process by someone. |

Sandow is the one that makes me the most annoyed. You'd think you'd find something for Zeb fucking Colter to do though.

Going to be honest, I'm a bit worried for Fandango, Adam Rose, Jack Swagger and even Tyler Breeze right now.

This would be the perfect time to release Darren Young and Titus O'Neil and not get much shit about it.

Sandow is definitely massively overrated by those here, and was not anything special..... but The Miz did get him really over, and I will agree that it was "weird" how they didn't do anything with that.... but at the end of the day no big loss.

In a group of releases though? Especially if you negotiate early outs for guys like Mark Henry who are going to be stepping down soon anyway. What's Darren Young going to say? "Oh, they fired me because I'm gay and black"?

I wasn't even a fan of him winning Money in the Bank and I think he was a lot more than what he ended up. Perception made him special eventually. But the WWE never did anything with it post-Mania 31. A real shame. Guy could have been an over component to any show he was on, which matters in the mid-card as much as it does the main event.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Zack Ryder end up in this slew of releases. Sort of a washing their hands of the problem once and for all sort of thing.

They're not safe because of what they will complain of it of, they both fill a quota in a publically traded company that's trying to portray themselves as progressive.

Most of these I can understand but WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK @ Sanyino?! He would have been just fine with doing occasional comic relief like he had been in recent times.
Also, really enjoyed the Santina storyline until a certain "presumptive" Republican nominee named Donald J. Trump killed the character... |

He can not be under contract and still make just as many appearances as he has in "recent times"

And that's another guy I thought was let go long ago.
I don't watch, but I do read the results and I haven't heard his name mentioned in forever. |

Jack Swagger strikes me as being endangered but he's a former Champion and still has a smidgen of credibility because of it.
Heath Slater probably shouldn't answer his phone though. |

Fuck that, it was awesome. Only problem was he wasn't paired up with Henning* years sooner, and have them be the revival of Perfect and The Genius instead of the "Meta Powers" thing that got tanked because Hogan had some verbal diarrhea.

Where I scratch my head is that they get rid of her, and also get rid of the christened "First Lady of NXT", but keep and continue to try to groom a girl who can't sell for shit and EVEN STILL AFTER ALL THISE CAREFUL TRAINING could potentially still hurt/injure/possibly kill another woman with her sloppy botching because she's supposedly hot and apparently oozes bitch heel heat on some show we don't give a fuck about? You can't simply re-create The Miz in female form. |

None of them are particularly surprising. Barrett least of all, as he wanted to leave anyway.

Probably off on Sandow but: Mizdow was amazing and Sandow was awesome. That being said, it had a short shelf life. Once Mizdow became Sandow again he became less interesting and I think without the Mizdow gimmick he's a boring baby face.
