He had a unique promo style that really worked for his initial goofy babyface character and he was capable of putting on a good match with the right opponent. He did make a terrible heel though and would never get over a serious character. I guess he wasn't "adaptable" and thats why hes gone.

This is essentially what I think. If Bateman can take his "USA Guy" gimmick and get some seasoning in Japan playing a loud, obnoxious American heel, I think it would do him the world of good and allow him to work on his weaknesses (bland ring work and making a terrible heel).

Really sad to hear about Audrey Marie. Maybe she asked for her release or something. She was fucking hot and made for a decent ring worker. With Paige, Emma and Summer Rae all being ready for the main stage, it would have been nice to have seen Audrey Marie and Anya work on NXT and continue to build characters and such.

Sakamoto leaving has me a bit sad. There was something about the guy that reminded me more of a Tajiri than a Yoshi Tatsu. It really felt like the guy could kick your head off or something. He would have been interesting mid-card padding for the main roster. I'm sure the guy will have no problem getting work elsewhere.

Briley Pierce is a bit of a shocker, since I could have seen him helping Dolph out on the main roster at some point. The guy is really new to the business, so if he buckles down and puts together what his brother did, I'm sure he'll get another chance.

Percy Watson has me sad. The guy was insanely charismatic and could have been a super-over part of any show. I've got no clue why they took what worked and removed it from him. If Watson can show off his athleticism on the indy scene and become a "great worker," I could see him one day getting another shot.
