A word on a couple of people:
Finlay - he's been a trainer in the WWE for quite a few years now, and I think (if the stories are correct) he has been taken off TV but they are using him at house shows to work with the younger guys. Similarly with Goldust.
Anyway, a list of I people who I think could be for the chop before January 2011:
The Nexus cast offs - namely Slater and Young. Otunga will get a bit longer to try and develop and ultimately drown. Gabriel Barrett and Sheffield will be fine, and I think they will give Tarver some time. In ring work is ok, but needs work - but I think his character has enough to justify that.
Shad and JTG - not that they ever worked as a tag team (although in their defence they weren't given the chance), they are drowning as singles guys. Reforming is their only chance of surviving.
Tyler Reks - who?
Curt Hawkins and Vance Archer - dispelled my theory that you can put any two nobodies in a tag team and make them kind of relevant.
+++
Who I don't think will get fired (compared atleast to others in this thread who think they might)
Primo - irrelevant on his own, absolutely true. But his brother (Tito) is in FCW, definite chance of a tag team there.
Yoshi Tatsu/The Great Khali - left these two in because they are used as overseas draws in their respective countries.
