Superstars fear more talent cuts depending on quarterly earnings

Should release Otunga, Riley, Hornswoggle, Tensai, Rosa and maybe one more guy that NEVER features. Keep the guys that are regularly on TV even if they are jobbers, like 3MB were. So keep Slater, Ryder, Sandow, Khali because you can at least use them to job and people might give 2 shits.

Tensai doesn't work as an in ring performer anymore. He works down in NXT as a trainer and commentator.

I don't think cutting MORE talent is the answer. With three hours of Raw, two hours of Smackdown and one hour for both Superstars and Main Event, they could really use all the talent they have at the moment. Someone has to fill in the role of jobbers and filler matches.

How many referees do they have on the payroll currently? If it's anywhere around five or six or more, you could always cut two or three of 'em and make the others pull extra duty.

I think they should look into cutting parts in production instead. Size of entrance, pyro etc.

Refs also work as ring crew so cutting down on them but keeping the production the size it is will only make work harder for those left.

Oh yeah, I heard about him doing that but completely forgot now. Also shouldn't have mentioned Riley if he also does some commentating, but then again I'm not even sure if he does anything else and also it's usually on Superstars, which I'm surprised hasn't been cut yet with Smackdown and Main Event as the WWE's B-Shows.

I have a feeling it's backstage. WWE cutting more talent makes it harder to find jobbers. Now that Joey Ryan isn't in town. Lol.
