If you are going to cull the roster, then you need to think harder than just saying Tatsu. Supposedly one of the hardest working wrestlers down in developmental, both with in ring and promo work. Still appears on NXT. Was put Into the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. So I think Yoshi does have the backing of Higher-Ups to survive the roster cuts.
And also, if it's true about the network working on a cruiserweights show, Tatsu, Kidd, Gabriel, Woods and the rest are gonna come in handy.
If not then yeah, start trimming them down. Can't see Tyson Kidd going though Total Divas ties and all that.
Personally, I would like to see a few older faces be wished well in their future endeavours.
Christian - offer him a trainer role, he's too much of a liability now, injury wise I mean.
Curt Hawkins - I personally like the guy but the highlight of his career was being edges doppelgänger, and that ain't enough,if wwe aren't prepared to team up him and Ryder again, then it's time to let him wrestle elsewhere.
David Otunga - good lawyer, bad wrestler. black chris masters basically. He can work behind the scenes in WWE's law department, but don't have him listed as an active wrestler.
Evan Bourne - once again, I like the guy, he always seemed solid in the ring but injuries hampered his progression, as did his many out of ring activities which lead to him being suspended, Twice!! I know he'd be good for the cruiserweights, but he doesn't seem up to it.
The Great Khali - his name gets dropped every year in these discussions. Their was a time when he was relevant. But that time has gone, he may be a superstar in India,but his in ring ability is sub par at best. Chops and slaps aren't gonna do anything for ya these days, let him be an ambassador in India for WWE.
Hornswoggle - waste of time, used as a gimmick years ago for Finlay, now part of a team with Khali. Makes no sense. Let him go. He's probably made more than enough money to be set for life now.
El Torito - same with him, he's gonna be useless in a year or so when the Matadores fad has died down.
Mark Henry - now I really love Henry, the strongman past, the legit strength of the guy is outstanding, but he's just not as useful as he used to be. It's still cool to see him hit a Worlds Strongest Slam on people. But his time has come and gone.
r-Truth - just past it now. Xavier woods is a younger. Better version of him. WWE missed a trick by breaking him and Miz up
RVD - if he had a full time contract, I would say keep him, but the fact he can get up and leave for months at a time, he isn't exactly a staple name who people wanna see anymore, a cool spot here and there, and he's gone again. Can't have any real meaningful feuds, or make mid card titles relevant again. As he would just be keeping it warm for someone if he was to hold one
Brad Maddox - whilst this authority storyline is going on, surplus to requirements. Is he any good in the ring?
Jerry Lawler - was brilliant back in the attitude era as he was able to say anything and get away with it. Just a corny old man now, replace with Regal.
Teddy Long - still listed as an on air talent, where is he? What's his purpose?
Layla - is she too old by a divas standard? She is still smoking hot and looks good in the ring when we see her, but this recent disappearance for personal reasons has thrown doubts to all of this. Let her go, she can always still be a dancer some place.
Eva Marie - wishful thinking, the bitch everyone loves to hate on Total Divas. Can't see her going anywhere, would like to see her at least demoted to valet services, or back to developmental. She was billed as "the rookie diva" on the show.
Rosa Mendez - had a great valet presence for The colons, primo and epico. But when they were rebranded, she was thrown by the wayside, I like the way she looks, not so much the way she wrestles.
Alicia fox - rebrand her, she is a good female wrestler, has a good look, and is quite charismatic when given a chance. Watch her do some shows when she is presenting and she just comes to life. Would love to see that more as a wrestler. If not, wwe should keep her for network hosting duties.
JTG - god I almost forgot about this guy. Hasn't been remotely relevant since him and shad were stealing belongings and selling em ringside. Money, money. Yeah yeah. Shad leaving to pursue a different career was the worst thing that could have happened to JTG.
