12 to 14 superstars on the chopping block

[DMO™]

– It was reported earlier that WWE planned on releasing several talents following WrestleMania XXVII. The latest word is that between 12 and 14 talents will be cut. More shortly.

Dixie Carter must be happy.

12-14 new TNA titleholders coming up.

NOOOO ZACK RYDER.

I think Ryder is safe. Sadly....Hawkins is not.

[Halloween King]

They always hire new guys before WM and Fire guys right after WM.

[Lord Ragnarok]

I predict it will be:

Alicia Fox
Chris Masters
Curt Hawkins
The Uso's
JTG
Primo
R-Truth
Rosa Mendes
Tamina
Tyson Kidd
Trent Barretta
David Hart Smith
Kofi Kingston

I believe these are the only wrestlers at risk of getting released. I hope I'm wrong about Tamina, The Harts, R-Truth and Kofi Kingston, and right about Alicia Fox and Rosa Mendes. The rest I could really care less.

Here's to Trey Baretti debuting by the end of summer in TNA and getting the X-division title. Personally I can totally see him getting fired even though I don't want him to; I love his matches with Hawkins... and he would probably wrestle other people just as well if he had a chance (squashes against McIntyre and Reks don't count).


I think the entire "Superstars" crowd is on the chopping block, especially Masters (they've given him a second chance but nothing but a bouncing booby gimmick) and maybe even DiBiase.. or McIntyre, what's he up to these days?

12-14 is a big number, and I hope that that many people don't need to lose their jobs because WWE doesn't give them a chance.

[King Silva]

This will surely have some people in it that sadden me but I hope some of my favorites escape the cut!

[slappy]

We'll get a few surprises in there.

A lot of people are rumored to be let go around this time of year.

If Zack Ryder gets released, then this company.

[Philzilla28]

It's a shame, but tyson kidd and david hart are probably going to be released. They could have done so much more as a tag team.

[johnnypoopypants]

I'm pretty sure Kofi is safe.

[LA Times]

I predict:

Rosa Mendes
Yoshi Tatsu
Chris Masters
Curt Hawkins
DH Smith
The Usos
JTG
Tyler Reks

[Obi-TruLove]

I hope Daniel Bryan is safe... why the hell wont WWE just give him a good storyline? Especially against Ziggler. Their Best of 3 matches were amazing.

[the franchise]

Chris Masters better watch out.

[ThugSuperstar]

Kofi won't be released. They wouldn't have put him in a match at Wrestlemania if they were thinking of releasing him.

[Word™]

I don't think DH Smith and Tyson Kidd would be released due to WWE's relationship with Bret.

The only people to get released that would sadden me are Zack Ryder, Daniel Bryan.. And honestly that's about it.. I enjoy Primo.. I wish he would do more.. But if I can live without Carlito I can live without Primo..

Ryder and Bryan tho.. I would really really really be highly upset.

[The-Rock]

wow that is a lot.
I expect to see:
Alicia Fox
Hawkins
DH Smith
Tyson Kidd
Gail Kim
Hornswoggle
Jimmy uso
Jey uso
JTG
Michael Tarver
Primo
Rosa
Trenta Baretta
Tyler Reks
Yoshi

[Prophet of Ash]

I came up with 13, and a potential 14th if real logic was used;

Primo
Jimmy Uso (but not Jey, WWE likes to break up tag teams. Jey will be released in 4 months)
Tamina
Tyson Kidd
Rosa Mendez
Hornswaggle
Darren Young
Michael Tarver
Chris Masters
Tyler Recks
Scott Stanford and the other Superstars exclusive announcer
Trent Barretta
Curt Hawkins

[wwefansince84]

If Hart Dynasty are not going to be used, I'd rather them get released. Could you imagine the matches with Beer Money and MCMG's? ;D

[awesomeallamerican]

I think that 12-14 is kind of hearsay at this point, but there's obviously going to be some guys let go. As long as Ryder isn't one them, I'll be fine.
