Shad Gaspard,Luke Gallows, Jillian Hall, Tiffany, Caylen Croft, Vance Archer were all released. these guys were really low-end talent.
Shad Gaspard - Not the talent from "Cryme Tyme"; JTG was. He's the first guy in a while to be the main man in a tag team split, and then be C-U-T. JTG is still going.
Luke Gallows - From Festus to Gallows. I can believe the transformation from Festus to Gallows. But after the Straight Edge society was over (well everyone got hurt), it was just a matter of time. Joesph Mercury is next.
Jillian Hall - wanted time off, now she's got lots of time off
Tiffany - You shouldn't have gotton arrested in a domestic dispute with Drew MacIntyre.
Craylon Croft - Who? What about Trent Berretta? something we don't know?
Vance Archer / Lance Hoyt / Lance Rock - i didn't like your look anyway. and really why did you break away from Curt Hawkins. In fact, why is Curt Hawkins still there?
No "stars" or "superstars" were let go. I think this was more of trimming the low end talent.
