Gail Kim's release should upset me more, but I'm not surprised at all. Such a shame her talent went to waste.
Chris Master's release doesn't sit well with me either. In terms of work rate, he's right up there with Goldust for me as a guy who really stepped up and improved over the last year or two, and it surprises me to see him go since I remember hearing a few montsh back that there were plans for him. And why, when he already had the "Masterpiece" gimmick which worked for him and set him apart, would they repackage him to be as generic as possible? Basically, Creative screwed him.
The rest don't surprise me. DH Smith has been a ghost since the Hart Dynasty split, Kozlov just could not get over whatever he did, and Melina... I'm just glad to see her gone frankly.
