Who I Think Will Be Added to the WWE 2009 Future Endeavors List (Releases)

On the heels of six Superstars getting released already in 2009, and seeing Bob "Hardcore" Holly get released yesterday. I figured I would predict who else would be getting the axe in 2009.

There are some superstars who are not contributing well, and I figure since the WWE really wants to get more money, then there will be more releases to come. With that said, let's get started.

Manu

I have mentioned many times on B/R that I do not care for Manu; I believe he should be off WWE TV all together. I think the WWE is getting the idea and wrote him out of The Legacy faction.

I really think he was brought up to early from FCW and if he does not get released soon, he should go back down to FCW at least. He is not great on the mic, and just as bad in the ring.

I believe that if he can do a great finisher, then he could stick around. I know it sounds weird, but if you have a finisher people like to see, then they will stick around during your match to see it.

Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder

Hawkins and Ryder are good wrestlers, but the WWE has not used them in quite some time. They lost the tag titles they won about a month before to Primo and Carlito in their first title defense.

They were off SmackDown for weeks after winning and we only saw them once before they lost the tag titles. And I can't remember if they have been back yet.

They were in La Familia and were doing well in the storyline, so I am confused as to why the WWE has not used them in a while.

The tag scene has been down in the WWE, and Hawkins and Ryder could help it. If they get involved on SmackDown more, then we will see them stay. But if you're not contributing, then you're gone from the WWE.

So that is why I think we will see them go, and it won't be their fault, either. It will be the WWE's. If they go to TNA or somewhere, they could be big. I just don't see them sticking around the WWE too much longer.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan

We all know Hacksaw has not been doing well, and he has not wrestled a lot in the WWE for a while. He basically disappeared and then came back. Since he does not contribute much, he could be gone.

I remember we saw Cryme Tyme say "It is Time," to Duggan and we have not seen him since. I could see a release coming soon. But it may come as more of a retirement, though.

I also could see him going into the Hall of Fame this year, too, considering he is a WWE legend. It could be similar to what Flair did last year too, where he has one last match. I guess we will have to see.

Jamie Noble

The redneck Jamie Noble is one of my favorite guys to see, because he is hilarious. But although he is a good wrestler, he has not been on WWE TV a lot since being drafted to RAW.

We saw him last week do a little backstage thing standing in line to see Stephanie McMahon to ask her about the Rumble match. But before that I can't tell you the last time I saw him on WWE TV. It had been pretty long.

It is just another time to bring up why the WWE is so stupid that they took the cruiserweight title away. Guys like Noble could shine there, and now can't. We all know Noble will never be a World Champion.

But he has been a cruiserweight champion and a pretty good one to boot. Many of the cruiserweight guys will have to go, because they can't fit in well with the bigger guys out there without a gimmick.

Rey Mysterio would not be World Champion without Eddie Guerrero's death; sorry to say, but it is true. No other pure cruiserweight has been a World Champion. So if the little guy wants to fit in the WWE well, then they will really need to work hard.

That could be the sole reason why we see Jamie Noble gone in 2009.

There will probably be more releases from the WWE other than this, we may not see any of the men I mentioned gone. But if I know the WWE it all depends on one thing. And that is how much you contribute.

None of these men contribute well, if at all, right now. This is why Hardcore Holly, Ron Simmons, and others have been released this year alone. And it is just January, we will also see refs and behind the scenes guys go too.

As a matter of fact, Stephanie McMahon's assistant got fired recently too, and so did two of Vince McMahon's limo drivers. So with that said, no one can be safe. It all depends on how much you contribute once again.

Who do you think will be gone in 2009, and be added to the WWE's future endeavors list?
