Here are the ones that I think will keep there jobs if this sweep were to happen and why.
- Curt Hawkins : Helped The Rock in his comeback, is friends with Punk and some of the higher up talent, and he and Reks have been featured recently on backstage segments on various WWE TV.
-Goldust : If he doesn't return to the ring, I could see him getting an agent role.
-Heath Slater : For whatever reason that I am stumped by, this guy seems to get TV time on Smackdown.
-Justin Gabriel : I believe he falls into the "hell of a hand" category.
-Sin Cara : HHH project and I believe the WWE has a hard on for the Rey vs Cara feud and setting that masked attendance record.
-Tamina Snuka : Decent female worker that could be a help to the other Divas in the division.
-Ted Dibiase : Floundering in the lower midcard even before his injury, but I believe they will think something up for him when he comes back as it seems in interviews the top guys always are high on Ted and some even call him the future.
-Tyler Reks : Same as Hawkins, minus The Rock stuff.
-Tyson Kidd : Same as Gabriel.
-Yoshi Tatsu : Asian market.

So I read the other day that supposedly the WWE has a close to finalized list of guys that are getting future endeavored. I went through the roster and came up with probable guys and ladies that could be considered for this. -Alex Riley -Alicia Fox -Camacho -Curt Hawkins (could get a pass bc he helped Rock and is boys with Punk) -Evan Bourne (if he doesn't retire himself due to injury) -Ezekiel Jackson -Goldust -Heath Slater -Hunico -The Usos -Jinder Mahal -Johnny Curtis -JTG -Justin Gabriel -Kaitlyn -Mason Ryan -Maxine -Michael McGillicutty -Sin Cara (been a flop so far, but he is a HHH project) -Tamina Snuka -Ted Dibiase -Trent Barreta -Tyler Reks -Tyson Kidd -Yoshi Tatsu How sad is it that I can name off 20 plus guys in their midcard that have nothing going for them?! Granted some of them are injured, but still! Makes me shake my head about how lazy the WWE is creatively these days. Who do you guys this is getting the papers? I would release only a few of the guys on the list which I would release: JTG Hunico Tatsu Ezekiel Jackson

I think Goldust is the agent in charge of women's matches now. So I doubt he'll be released.
Supposedly the Bellas are on their way out of the company within the next month or so.

Except that they do this same thing pretty much every year Oh, for sure. I'm just saying that in light of the most positive news this company has received in God only knows how long, I'm not expecting the head count to be nearly as high as usual.

The Royal Rumble would have to be cut down to a 20 man next year if they made major cuts.

anyone knows the actual date, when those releases everybody talks about will happen. besides all the speculation, does anyone know the real contract situations of the current talent? according to my understanding of law in sports, wwe can't release people without paying a fine and the outstanding money until the contract is over, because they are breaking the contract. it's another story, if they simply don't renew ending contracts (... like the bella twins). so this would be an interesting inside concerning that topic.

maybe they'll make a little room for some of the talent they have in fcw, they already fucked up alex kozlov, but they still have the kings of wrestling, and tyler black, they may even try with mike perfect...

It's too bad because I thought they could've made something of Jinder and it was nice to see a brown guy that wasn't an ABSOLUTE stereotype on my TV.

WTF are you talking about, they made him wear a turban and speak punjabi. I believe he was speaking Hindi, not Punjabi and he wore a turban as many indian people do, especially in india. He wasn't a terrorist like Hassan or a genie or whatever Lo Down was supposed to be. Just a rich indian dude. In Who's Getting Released news, apparently Silent Rage is Silent Toast: www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=67847WWE RELEASES TOUGH ENOUGH WINNER By Mike Johnson on 2012-04-23 12:54:21 World Wrestling Entertainment has released the winner of the most recent Tough Enough season Andy Leavine, who was working in WWE developmental as Kevin Hackman. Leavine was named the Tough Enough winner for the series' return to cable TV in April 2011. Leavine, who was a standout football player in college, had been signed to WWE developmental before being cast for the series.
After winning the Tough Enough season, Leavine was only seen in vignettes about his training to become a WWE star and was never utilized again on the main roster. At one point, he was suspended for a violation of the company's Wellness Policy.

(Also based on the name they gave him they didnt sound like they had high stock in his abilities) How many times did they change John Hennigan's name after he won Tough Enough? At least twice (Johnny Nitro, John Morrison) that I can recall. I think there was a stretch when he was Bischoff's assistant and was getting a new name every week for a bit too.
