Who gets Cut?

Rumors are swirling on all the dirt-sheets that the WWE is contemplating releasing a few of the lower level talent currently on the roster.  Does this surprise anyone?  Every year following WrestleMania the WWE "future endeavors" current talent.  

I am always interested to see who gets released.  As we know the WWE's main roster is currently overflowing with superstars.  In my mind there are way too many guys hanging around right now.  Some of them need to be back down in development, while a few others need to go.

Here are 5 guys who I think the WWE will cut.  (Note these are not necessarily the guys who I think should be cut)

1. JTG
2. Trent Barretta
3. Evan Bourne
4. Yoshi Tatsu
5. Michael McGillicutty

Of those 5 guys, I believe that Barretta and Tatsu should stay.  Both need a semi push and at least be on TV a little.  These would be a couple of great guys to put in Tag Teams to help bolster the Tag division. I am on the fence with Evan Bourne, his recent actions lead me to say let him go and get everything figured out and maybe the WWE can bring him back later.

IMO Mason Ryan needs to go.  He brings nothing to the table.  He is essentially the same as Zeke Jackson, but I believe Zeke is a better wrestler (not by much though).  

Let me know what you think.

January Stats

I have been compiling some stats since I started this blog, which happened to be at the start of the year.  Basically what I have been doing is keeping track of Match records for all WWE TV/Internet Shows (Superstars and NXT included) and PPVs, while also keeping the same stats for IMPACT.

*Note- For those who entered the Royal Rumble and were eliminated I did not count this as a match loss.  I simply have them down for having a match.  Sheamus on the other hand was credited with a win for the Rumble match.
