First Two Wrestlers Added to the 2009 Future Endeavors List (Releases)

Coming as no surprise to many the WWE has started to release people. In 2008 WWE employees were released a good bit. About 50 or more total WWE employees were released.

Now in 2009 we have to more, and they are wrestlers. D-Lo Brown and Bam Neely have been officially released by the WWE. If you remember Brown came back this year after about a five or six year absence from the WWE.

He is a for Intercontinental Champion and was worked as an accountant while out of the WWE. The WWE wanted to see how he would do, but he never really pleased them. He did well in his matches I thought.

They even gave him a shot at the IC Title against Santino. And he would have won too if it were not for Beth Phoenix coming in right when Brown was coming off the top rope. Santino was DQed and lost.

But of course titles can change hands on a DQ so Brown didn't win the IC Title. Bam Neely was another story entirely.

He was around for a good part of the 2008 year, he was in La Familia and was Chavo Guerrero's body guard. I believe a storyline for Neely supposedly having a falling out with Chavo was supposed to happen.

We saw glimpses of it, but the WWE didn't pursue it. Both have not been seen on WWE TV for a little while now.

pwrestlingnews.com reports:

"The releases come as WWE announced that they are cutting 10% of their workforce. Even more releases are expected."

I can think of maybe think three or four superstars who we may see gone in 2009. I see Hawkins and Ryder gone. Both were tag champs and then all the sudden once the won the titles they were off SmackDown.

We didn't even see them glout after winning the titles the day after they won them. In their second match back they lost the titles to Primo and Carlito who hold the tag titles currently.

We have not seen them on WWE TV for a while as we have not seen Brown or Neely who were recently released.

I could see Kizarny gone soon too. Now since he just debuted they may put him down in FCW for a little more time. But he did not have an impressive debut on SmackDown. And Vince McMahon hated it, so that doesn't help him.

I feel he may be gone, but like I said since he is new he may get sent down to FCW for a little more time.

I see Manu out this year too. He has not impressed me, and I personally cannot stand him in the ring. He is not good at promos either. I think the WWE is getting wise and got him out of Legacy.

I see him gone in '09, at least I hope he is gone. He may last because he is second generation and Samoan. But I sure hope not.

What do you think? Who will be the next to be released by the WWE and what do you think about the two officially out?
