Who would you like to see 'Future Endeavored'?

[xREDxONxYOUx]

With rumors that the WWE will be cutting it's roster down soon, who do you think is on the chopping block?

Here are a few that I wouldn't be surprised to see gone soon. I'm not saying all of them, but I'll be shocked if it isn't at least 5.

Of this list, who do you think will stay or go, and why? Also, add any that you think might be in danger of being 'Future Endeavored'?

-Alex Riley
-Camacho
-Curt Hawkins
-Evan Bourne
-The Great Khali
-Heath Slater
-Johnny Curtis
-Jinder Mahal
-JTG
-Kaitlyn
-Michael McGillicutty
-Trent Barreta :(
-Tyler Reks
-Tyson Kidd
-Yoshi Tatsu

[Shadrick]

I'll use this thread to post what I was going to post in a new thread.

If I had to pick 4 guys that will be endeavored soon....

Tyler Reks
Jinder Mahal
Evan Bourne
Camacho

[itsmeJD]

If I had to guess I'd choose

Jinder Mahal
Darren Young
Evan Bourne
The tall motherfucker who is incapable of bending his knees
Percy Watson

Truthfully it's kind of a mixed bag. I could see cases made for a number of guys who aren't being used.

[#1-norm-fan]

Alex Riley... they should fire him, then immediately re-hire him so they can fire him again. Probably the biggest waste of space on the roster.

Other than that, Evan Bourne just because he can't stay active, Mason Ryan, Ezekiel Jackson...

I can't really think of any more. I firmly believe most people can be useful if booked correctly.

[Savio]

Randy Orton

[Nicky Fives]

The Great Khali
Alex Riley
Ezekiel Jackson
Evan Bourne

[Gertner]

I really hope Tyler Reks and Heath Slater stay

1. Mason Ryan
2. Ezekiel Jackson
3. Alicia Fox
4. Darren Young
5. Derrick Bateman

Daniel Bryan can stay on as a JTTS.

[BollywoodSingh]

I wish they would give Jinder Mahal a gimmick that doesn't have to be on him being Indian. The whole anti-USA gimmick has been done to death and that is why most people feel that Mahal is boring. It's WWE that is making him boring, not Mahal himself. He's pretty solid in the ring from what I've seen and is comfortable enough on the mic.

[Gertner]

Jinder is alright. He's just been directionless.

[DLVH84]

Mahal, Bourne, and Riley

[Pintint]

No one, it always sucks to see guys go. But out of these guys, I think JTG's time is up....

[Seth82]

Brodus Clay
Ezekiel Jackson
Alex Riley
Evan Bourne
Yoshi Tatsu
Zach Ryder

[KIRA]

How long can Ryder ride (no pun intended) this wave of popularity hes on I wonder?

Evan Bourne and Khali are all I can think of.

I think Riley has a future.

[Dukelorange]

I firmly believe most people can be useful if booked correctly.

Close the thread, and get some chick to give him a lap dance. We have a winner...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Reks and Hawkins have been on tv a decent amount recently I don't see them going out right now, but I could be wrong.

The Great Khali and Jinder Mahall are basically the only two guys I'd like to see packing. Bourne might be gone because of the foot thing which is a damn shame. He pretty much went from a great hand to complete shit in the span of a month. :(

[Vastardikai]

...Gone to Pot?

I'm sorry.

[JimmyMess]

Don't we have a 2012 list for this?

or a 2011...

wasn't there a game? How did/am I do/doing?

[Blakeamus]

I would like to see the people who I have listed in that game, to be future endeavored.

[Shadrick]

Mason Ryan is not going ANYWHERE.

Is this who you really think is gone or who you want gone?

[Ermaximus]

Don't we have a 2012 list for this?

or a 2011...

wasn't there a game? How did/am I do/doing?

Yes, the Pink Slip Pool for 2012. Only 2 names are on it thus far. John Morrison and Jack Korpella. Will be adding more soon obviously.

[U Know?]

hornswoggle cuz he is too little and sin care cuz he is too little 2 and grate khali cuz he is isnt too big?

[Mooияakeя™]

I think they'll keep an Indian on the roster, just for publicity services to that country. It's a goldmine potentially, but even for now I think they're doing ok out of it.

[Blakeamus]

Hornswoggle is in a good shape for now being that he will have the lead role in WWE's Leprechaun movie thats in the works.

[MoFo]

Kane, please.

[XCaliber]

Alicia Fox - She's a little overrated even for a diva.
Christian - Not that big of a draw act has gotten rather stale.
The Great Khali - They have Mahal who's way more talented of a wrestler.
Hornswoggle - Unless they hire more smaller talents really isn't of any use.
Jack Swagger - There's only a single word needed here... SUCKS!
JTG - Talented guy but needs to leave the company pronto.
Kelly Kelly - Never understood what the company sees in her sorry.
Santino Marella - Still a comedy act has no potential to be a main eventer.
Titus O'Neil - Can't get ver with the crows and has no potential BYE!
Yoshi Tatsu - Character hasn't evolved in any way to care about.

[Shadrick]

I think I disagree with XCaliber with everyone he named except maybe JTG.

[XCaliber]

I think I disagree with XCaliber with everyone he named except maybe JTG.

Some of the ones I named including him was for their own personal benefit not just WWE's.

[Droford]

Brodus Clay
Brodus Clay
Brodus Clay

and did I forget to mention Brodus Clay?

[loopydate]

I think I disagree with XCaliber with everyone he named except maybe JTG.

Yeah, in what world does Jack Swagger suck while JTG is "a talented guy?"

[Damian Rey]

Wheres the benefit for either party in a scenario where Christian is cut. WWE loses a solid upper midcard heel whos good in the ring, on the mic, and had a great run with Orton last year only to run into injuries. Christian would lose the comfy spot hes earned over the past few years.

[PrettyCool]

Brodus Clay
Brodus Clay
Brodus Clay

and did I forget to mention Brodus Clay?

Did somebody call your momma?

[Kapoutman]

If I see one more son of a bitch ask for Brodus Clay's or Jack Swagger's release, there will be hell to pay.

[Ultra Mantis]

Heath Slater, Alex Riley and Jinder Mahal.

[Damian Rey]

Khali in a landslide.

[Shadrick]

Its weird, most of the guys you gentleman are naming could really be over if their skills were properly utilized.

I love Rileys mean streak and in-ring style. With the right program, given the ability to hone his mic skills, he'd be a solid upper-midcarder

[Damian Rey]

Uh...what ring skills? As far as Ive seen (not much), hes clunky, unatletic and overall bland. I dont see it with him. Im open to your opinion, though.

[Ultra Mantis]

Riley is great at missing cues, botching spots and sandbagging. I'll give him that.

[Gertner]

Heath Slater is tremendous

[Krimzon7]

If I see one more son of a bitch ask for Brodus Clay's or Jack Swagger's release, there will be hell to pay.

:mad: Brodus. Fucking. Clay

[Kapoutman]

I heard your momma calls Brodus Clay regularly. That's why you're mad at him.

[screech]

Fuck you guys. Alex Riley is the goods.

[screech]

Kane, please.

You and I are now enemies.

[#1-norm-fan]

Riley is great at missing cues, botching spots and sandbagging. I'll give him that.

Seriously. Khali at least has the excuse of being so fucking big and crippled, he can barely move.

Alex Riley wrestles a lot of the time like he never comprehended any information he learned while training. Like he may actually have a learning disability.

[Shadrick]

Uh...what ring skills? As far as Ive seen (not much), hes clunky, unatletic and overall bland. I dont see it with him. Im open to your opinion, though.

I didn't use the term in-ring skills.

[Vastardikai]

Seriously. Khali at least has the excuse of being so fucking big and crippled, he can barely move.

Alex Riley wrestles a lot of the time like he never comprehended any information he learned while training. Like he may actually have a learning disability.

People said something about how Swagger "botched" a powerbomb on Riley, and I was like "Dude, Riley sandbagged the fuck out of him and Swagger powerbombed him anyway. If anything, it tells you just how strong Swagger is."

[#1-norm-fan]

My favorite part of that was hearing Dolph Ziggler on commentary almost just breaking character and being like "... what? ... ugh." lol

[Damian Rey]

I didn't use the term in-ring skills.

I stand corrected. What about his in ring style then? Like I said, havent seen much.

[ortonisawful]

Obviously Orton. He's this generation's dumber, less charismatic, more uncoordinated Billy Gunn.

Khali has needed to go for years, along with Henry.

Big Show could be gone, tonight, and I wouldn't blink.

Kane has nowhere to go. There's nothing left to do with him.

Ted Dibiase, JR is talentless.

Cole is horrid.

But then, so is Jerry Lawler. There, that should be enough for now.

[XCaliber]

People said something about how Swagger "botched" a powerbomb on Riley, and I was like "Dude, Riley sandbagged the fuck out of him and Swagger powerbombed him anyway. If anything, it tells you just how strong Swagger is."

Pretty sure he botched the same move a few weeks later on Zack Ryder of all people. :roll:

[#1-norm-fan]

The guy didn't jump. It's not even like a "we'll just assume" thing. It's right there for anyone to see. lol

Not to mention the fact that in his short time on regular live TV, Riley made a habit of fucking shit up.

[Ultra Mantis]

Pretty sure he botched the same move a few weeks later on Zack Ryder of all people. :roll:

Pretty sure that never happened. Zack even took three in a row without a botch in sight when Swagger won the US title.

[Krimzon7]

Does he know Michael Landon? My moms in heaven. Besides, my mom couldnt dance

[Mr. Nerfect]

Alex Riley does things well that you can't teach. The WWE really should not let him go.

[#1-norm-fan]

He grooms relatively well

[Mr. Nerfect]

The dude does look like a star, yes.

[#1-norm-fan]

Remember on NXT when the pros and the rookies were fighting and Alex Riley decided to start attacking Percy Watson for no reason whatsoever? lol

Like I said, the guy does things that just make me think he can't even comprehend what his job is.

[#1-norm-fan]

Not to mention the fact that he's not really good at anything in particular.

[Mr. Nerfect]

He was awesome when I was watching him leading into and out of WrestleMania XXVII.

[#1-norm-fan]

You mean the "Hey Cena. You're the reason that a long time ago, they decided to nickname toilets 'John's" Alex Riley?

He barely wrestled then too. And after he turned on The Miz and started wrestling regularly he became a botch/"I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing in this ring right now" machine. I really think the only reason he was just demoted badly and not released altogether was that he's got a decent look and they wanna hold out hope that he'll figure out what he's doing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Every Riley match I have seen on Superstars has been decent at the very worst. Don't know what you're talking about.

How is that even a botch? Ridiculous.

Riley has still got more of a chance to make money than most other guys that ever get into the industry. He's also a better overall worker than most of them. You were ragging on Riley from the start and will cling to whatever you can to discredit him as a performer. Randy Orton has done some pretty horrible botches in his time, too.

"Yeah, that was nasty. It was hard to watch." :lol:

I remember between that and his awesome bickering with Vickie on commentary that night, this was when I really started becoming a Ziggler fan.

Dolph Ziggler will forever be the man, but a true pro would have covered up that spot as Riley trying to counter or something. In a way, that was a botch from Dolph.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Why did you put Great in quotes?

To imply that the moniker "Great" is not truly appropriate for the performer?

[#1-norm-fan]

Dolph Ziggler will forever be the man, but a true pro would have covered up that spot as Riley trying to counter or something. In a way, that was a botch from Dolph.

Meh. I think in this day and age, it's not as important. It happened and everyone knew what was going on. It kind of endeared him to me that he was being "with" the audience.

[#1-norm-fan]

Riley has still got more of a chance to make money than most other guys that ever get into the industry. He's also a better overall worker than most of them. You were ragging on Riley from the start and will cling to whatever you can to discredit him as a performer. Randy Orton has done some pretty horrible botches in his time, too.

I was ragging on him from the start because of how horribly overrated people saw him. I'm sorry that he only went on to prove me right. Look at me "clinging" to his shitty performances to discredit him as a performer. How unfair of me. lol

And Orton has botched some things. His didn't come in the span of a few months of being pushed and weren't ridiculously glaring and basic spots that most guys can do in their sleep. I mean, the Rumble botch would be forgivable for example if it wasn't for the fact that he made a habit out of being clumsy and clueless (Obviously not knowing what the upcoming move is on multiple occasions, sandbagging Swagger, ATTACKING HIS OWN PARTNER LIKE A DIPSHIT lol). Not to mention Riley isn't even in remotely the same league as Orton in any conceivable way.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Whatever, dude -- you have your opinion on the guy and you made it vocal before Riley even had a chance to do anything. He went out there and delivered some fantastic performances and you ignored them. So he falls out of the ring once and miscommunicates one spot -- the dude is obviously shit. Who cares how insanely fucking over he is or how good he can be when he's on? How do you know that it wasn't Swagger who was jumping the cut and going for the Gutwrench Powerbomb on Riley too early, or that Riley was actually meant to counter and Swagger kept going for it? Yeah, Riley should have just taken it in that case to avoid breaking his neck, but your biases against Riley are pretty strong.

Zack Ryder botches acting all the time. Let's release him. He's clearly terrible and has no worth. Curt Hawkins might be one of the crispest workers today, but he's not that over so we should immediately cut him.

You just posted videos in which Dolph Ziggler broke character and Michael McGillicutty fumbled over his lines while trying to trash the guy.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fKK0lMgXqGg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This is a star. Don't get me wrong, he does need some polish. But I remember that thread where everyone talked about how much potential he has -- because he does. You can't teach someone to have presence like Riley has.

[#1-norm-fan]

Whatever, dude -- you have your opinion on the guy and you made it vocal before Riley even had a chance to do anything. He went out there and delivered some fantastic performances and you ignored them. So he falls out of the ring once and miscommunicates one spot -- the dude is obviously shit.

Man, talk about ignoring. lol

[#1-norm-fan]

Who cares how insanely fucking over he is...

lol WHAT!?!?

You're Noiding me again.

[#1-norm-fan]

Ziggler didn't BOTCH anything and McGillicutty wasn't exactly being called the second coming of Jesus. He also didn't get the ridiculous push handed to him on a silver platter and threw it away by being awful. Get out of here with this... lol

[#1-norm-fan]

The video shows Riley getting put it an AMAZING position with an AMAZING storyline that, once it was over and he was forced to actually get over on his own, he sucked. He's not very good on the mic, he's not very good in the ring, and on top of that, I don't remember the last time I saw anyone be so clueless in the ring as far as knowing spots and knowing what his job is. And you claim I'm being biased with the Swagger thing when it's brutally clear Swagger gives him the opportunity to jump and he fucks it up. Pot... kettle... black...?

The Rumble thing thrown on top of that is just clumsy. If it wasn't for the other facepalm worthy shit, it would just be unfortunate. But it goes to show the guy made a habit of fucking up regularly. Hence why he got demoted faster than the push came.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Ziggler didn't BOTCH anything and McGillicutty wasn't exactly being called the second coming of Jesus. He also didn't get the ridiculous push handed to him on a silver platter and threw it away by being awful. Get out of here with this... lol

Ziggler used to have quite the noticeable problem with positioning. Don't get me wrong, the guy is the goods, but he did have problems that he needed to iron out like anyone.

And yes, Ziggler did botch. He should have covered up the in-ring botch and not drawn attention to it.

lol WHAT!?!?

You're Noiding me again.

I see you are not familiar with sarcasm.

By all reports, Riley is still over. He hasn't failed to get over on his own. Get the fuck out with that. I can't believe you're acting like Riley is the first talent to blow a spot, either. Incredible. Do we really need to go over a list of top level talent that have botched spots recently? And don't say Riley does it all the time, because he doesn't. His matches on Superstars are quite smooth and actually good showings. You're focusing on two botches (and I've got no clue what happened at the end of NXT Season 2 -- it looked like no one had a clue what was going on) and writing the guy off. Fine, that's your prerogative. Riley is still intensely over and cash money when polished a little bit more.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Why did you remark on the sarcasm of the "Riley is over" statement by saying I missed it with my comment and then go on to tell me again that he is over? He isn't over. By any means. lol Or was that entire comment sarcasm again? You can't possibly believe that Alex fucking Riley is over in any way, shape or form. lol

I've focused on those two spots. I mean... I could (and actually did earlier) post more and discuss those in depth if you really need it. I'm starting to believe your "Riley Goggles" are too thick to allow you to see them though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

You actually don't believe Alex Riley is still over? Wow. OK.

[#1-norm-fan]

And yes, Ziggler did botch. He should have covered up the in-ring botch and not drawn attention to it.

lol. That's not a botch. He made a conscious decision to call it like that. He didn't fuck anything up. Your personal opinion on what he should have done being different than what he does does not equal a botch.

If you're really gonna make your definition that loose, then I'm gonna have a field day with Alex Riley botches. More so than I would have with the actual, strict definition.

[#1-norm-fan]

You actually don't believe Alex Riley is still over? Wow. OK.

I don't know if you know how to use sarcasm. lol

[screech]

Went to RAW last month. Riley had a solid match on Superstars (or the dark match - I can't remember now). He got a pretty good reaction when his music hit.

[#1-norm-fan]

If Alex Riley showed up on Raw this week, the roof would probably literally be blown off the building by the noise. It would be Triple H January 2002 all over again. NO IDEA WHY THEY DON'T DO IT.

[screech]

I hate Alex Riley, so I'm not going to take any positive statements about him seriously.

[#1-norm-fan]

I would actually be apathetic about him now if it weren't for people jumping on the young guy with a good look to be a star and ignoring how shitty he is at all costs.

[#1-norm-fan]

Though Noid admitting the sarcasm of the "insanely over" comment before jumping back to it makes me think this is all with a wink and a nudge.

[PHBro]

i doent want the Bella Twin to leave the one on the left is hot.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Don't know why so many people are listing Ryder. He looks like he's still got a long career ahead of him. Will he ever be a world/WWE Champion? Probably not, but he's extremely entertaining and has PROVEN, beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can go in the ring with the best of them.

[St. Jimmy]

Riley still has a great theme.
