not Drew & Jinder

edit - They got JTG too  

Above is the list of talents officially released by WWE through their website. So what are your thoughts? Are you happy with it? Do you think a certain talent doesn't deserve it? Talk to me mayn

PS: Yes, JTG is still employed  

They should've kept Drew. A lot of people still like him he could've gone far.

Merged the 2 threads on this. 

Aksana was so underrated. Drew gone too is sad.

The streak has been broken, RIP JTG's WWE career.

2006-2014. Never forget.

They fucking ruined Drew. Its such a shame. Hopefully Aksana moves on to Porn. Evan Bourne was exciting to watch and super talented, and im gonna miss Teddy Long, playa. This release in general is just a lot of talent gone down the drain.

As for Hawkins owning Henry, somebody gon get they ass kicked

They messed up by released Drew Mcintyre, and them releasing Teddy Long was the worst of all.

I only liked Evan Bourne and it's pretty sad to see him go. I never even like Drew when he was "the Chosen One" and Intercontinental Champion. I actually had a weird hatred for him. Good riddance.

Was there any word behind the releases reasons?

Here's hoping guys like Drew got better offers from TNA or something, and WWE wouldn't meet the same offer in order to keep him.  Sometimes a change of venue can absolutely reinvent and revitalize a career of a talented guy who has been held back through some poor handling.

Heck, Steven Austin was originally a joke in the WWF who was told he wasn't allowed to use his real name because he "would never be as big as Dr Death Steve Williams".  Bounce over to ECW for a little bit, WCW for a little bit, ditch the "Stunning Steve Austin" gimmick and all the long hair and pretty-boy routine, and when he came back to the WWF he was a break-out star that was an almost immediate sensation.  Kurt Angle proved that shaving your head does not reinvent your career, but a change of venue definitely can.

Here's hoping this is a movement opportunity and not just a kick to the curb.

I WANNA SEE AKSANA IN PORN

That was a bad day for black refs, two of the only ones in wwe history got fired in one day.

The only one whom I think is a tragedy is Drew.  He had lots of skill and potential.  And I'll throw Jinder in there too because I actually liked 3MB and thought that stable could've been something more than just jobber fodder.  The rest I'm not all that surprised about.

Heath Slater survived!

  

Aksana looked so good in her final match tonight 

Scratch that, JTG was also released
