WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstars Hornswoggle, Alex Riley, El Torito and Zeb Colter as of today, Friday, May 6, 2016. WWE wishes them the best in all of their future endeavors.

All writings on the wall in my opinion.

I'll update the thread with any more releases done today/this weekend.

EDIT: Cameron makes 5. Santino makes 6 and Barrett makes 7

The only one that legitimately surprised me was Alex Riley. Mainly because of the tv time he had recently.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Smart move, cutting all the dead weight.

Not surprised, tbh.

 

[rydogg]

Santino got cut too. I thought he retired 2 years ago

 

[Stopspot]

Santino makes six

 

[Indy]

Alexander Rageman HAS to be the #1 participant in BOLA or else we'll riot.

 

[Rampaiger]

Its all to afford Ryback's new contract....

I thought Hornswoggle was released a long time ago. Haven't seen or heard from him in a long time!

None surprise me really. I think Alex Riley was lucky he held on for as long as he did. He was never going to make it in the WWE. He needs to go and re-invent himself on the independent circuit and you never know, we may see him again sometime in the future!

Did his main event push when he turned on the Miz never happen? The dude was slated as the next GUY then, and was over to that level as well. But he fumbled it all up backstage.

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd Barrett is officially out.

 

[DK JAMES]

As much as I hate it, this probably isn't the last time we're gonna see Hornswoggle. I hope they don't cut any more people, at least not today. I think that's pretty much all the dead weight they needed to get rid of right now.

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd Barrett is officially out.

Yooooooo whaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[Pop Tatari]

How is Otunga still there, he is the new jtg.

 

[Stopspot]

Yooooooo whaaaaaaaaaaat

And there are more coming according to insider sources

Educated minority, married to a famous singer, and the dude is legitimately a lawyer so he probably knows exactly what WWE can or cannot do with him. He's probably milking them for money.

Granted he does work a lot for them in their offices.
