I don't really think it's a thing anymore when the company is as profitable as it is. But I'd go with...
Apollo Crews The B Team The Colons Dolph Ziggler Lucha House Party Heath Slater Rhyno Jinder Mahal Mojo Rawley Alicia Fox Dana Brooke Natalya Tamina Gallows & Anderson Sin Cara

Well I've had this list ready to go for awhile now,
Aiden English Akira Tozawa Alexander Wolfe Alicia Fox Ariya Daivari Billie Kay Bo Dallas Curt Hawkins Curits Axel Dana Brooke Drew Gulak Epico Fandango Jack Gallagher Gran Metalik Jinder Mahal Kalisto Konnor Lince Dorado Maria Mike Kanellis Mojo Rawley Nia Jax No Way Jose Noam Dar Primo Peyton Royce Samir Singh Sarah Logan Sunil Singh Brian Kendricks Tony Nese Victor Zack Ryder
You lose all of those people and the company real loses next to nothing.Only thing that those release would hurt is 205 Live which should be scrapped anyways.
I would also throw in the likes of Ambrose,Rusev,Nakamura,Ziggler,Andrson,Gallows,Jimmy,Jey...ect anyone that is truly unhappy or wants their real.
WWE is just flooded with to much talent as is right now.You release all of these people and their roster is still big enough to run dual brand.This also frees up spots on the main roster for the likes of Gargano,Ciampa,Dream,Undisputed Era,War Raiders...ect all of which shouldn't be stuck down in NXT for years.

If there's going to be mass releases, I'd bet it will only be NXT talent that hasn't made it to TV yet. Maybe Alicia Fox once she's out of rehab, but that might be harder than we think.

I was checking this thread for any monsters who would dare to fire the Iiconics. Found one.

I always read these threads to enfuriate myself with the amount of people that say Alicia Fox 😂 always had a special place for me but everyone is different I guess 😄

and seriously.... Braun. (he's so useless now, no reason for him to be around anymore) Bray Wyatt (there is nothing that can save this gimmick...ever) Shelton (there is stopping him now.) Chad Gable Nakamura Corbin (pathetic heat isn't good heat) Rusev Corey Graves 99% of 205 Livehow can i even take a thread like this seriously with those responses... WWE's spring cleaning wasn't them releasing popular, always used legit stars. it was about cutting down the roster of some of the jobbers/lower guys to make room for others. so even if they were going to do a cleaning this year, you're legitimately out of your ing mind if you think they would just release the above guys as "dead weight" Ok then, tell me why Braun and Bray still need to be there. They are so misused. Bray won the title and nobody cared. He'll come back and nobody will care. It's the same ol'crap with him over and over again and nobody will care. Same with Braun. I hope they never give Braun any title. Come on man, he's "feuding" with two idiots from SNL!!!!!!!! And now he's in the Andre battle royal? Yeah, that'll put asses in the seats! Nakamura and Rusev need to go because they are doing NOTHING on the roster. They blew the whole Rusev day thing and Nakamura is just a joke. He was awesome in NXT, but in WWE? Horrible. Release them and put us all out of our misery. Gable? Sucks. Shelton? Sucks. 205 live? Sucks. Corey Graves? Him and his tattoos suck. Every single one of the people i mentioned are dead weight and jobbers. Get rid of 'em. That’s not dead weight, you just don’t like them

I wonder if all these people that want the 205 guys released, actually watch the show. They put on some great matches and I like all involved.
As for those who I wouldnt miss if they got released:
Titus Tamina (Im still struggling as to why she has lasted as long as she has, zero reaction everytime she comes out and very lazy deameanour about her) Alicia Fox
Prob some others but no one really off the top of my head.

How would you feel if people within the company that you work for made a list of people they thought should get fired, and you were on that list? Or for that matter people who have no idea how hard you work wishing that you lost your job?
Stop giving your opinion on who you think they should fire. You don’t like that talent? Don’t watch their matches. Wishing that someone should lose the way they make a living, unless they’ve done something to deserve it, is one of the scumbiest things you can do.
Don’t wish unemployment on anyone. Don’t be a scumbag. It’s common sense and decency people.

TNA struck gold in EC3 and Eli Drake with released developmental guys. And the WWE tossed EC3 back in their garbage.

lol I always love the people freaking out with the "I dont want them to lose their job"...Like they're going to go from making $150k/yr to flipping cheeseburgers for $8/hr
Someone like Dolph Ziggler makes $1.5mil/year. If he gets fired and then struggles for money, that's his own damn fault.
And dont give me the "Well not everyone makes that much" argument. The least paid male performer, according to Forbes, still makes $250k/yr and most of those guys, if released, could still make bank on the Indies.
Welcome to the real world where you dont get what you want. Life sucks...and then you die.

Release them and put us all out of our misery. Gable? Sucks. Shelton? Sucks. 205 live? Sucks. Corey Graves? Him and his tattoos suck. Every single one of the people i mentioned are dead weight and jobbers. Get rid of 'em. Braun is one of the most over guys on the roster. You can look at his "booking" all you want, the guy still gets pops and is still being featured on the RAW card frequently. He's also a guy they could insert in literally any main event match and you'd believe it. He's still booked as a dominant monster and he just isn't involved with any major feud right now so they are keeping him in that random place. Doesn't mean a thing. Bray has been gone a long time now, clearly they are going to repackage or "tweak" his character. Not to mention before he was injured and off TV he was pretty over with the Matt Hardy stuff, took a little while but once it got going it was fine. He's not gonna be the creepy swamp master anymore and he doesn't need to be. His WWE title run was a complete joke, but that was a long time ago now. both Nak & Rusev are legit made stars, who have been pushed and featured more than a LOT of guys on the roster in the last few years. A poor booking decision to put them together as a tag team isn't going to last forever, they will split at some point soon and both guys will do something else. The last bit you just don't like, which...once again, is not a legitimate reason for them to lose their job. Gable is part of a pretty good tag team right now, who have been having killer matches in front of live crowds and even the TV audience is warming up to. Benjamin is a little lost for sure, but he's a guy you're gonna get a good match out of one way or another, and Graves is just doing his job as a color guy, Vince controls every single thing the commentators say and do, and when he's not bickering/yelling at Renee he's a pretty decent heel color guy in MY opinion. so as valid as you think your opinion is of those guys "suck"-ing....then mine is just as valid as them NOT "suck"-ing so they shouldn't be let go. I feel like instead of thinking about interesting ways to use guys, or realizing that this is professional wrestling and this company can make us care about literally anyone whenever they really want to....you're just saying "eh they haven't done anything good in a few months so just let them go"....that truly makes ZERO sense and is just a shallow, flawed and narrow mindset

The least paid male performer, according to Forbes, still makes $250k/yr and most of those guys, if released, could still make bank on the Indies. Welcome to the real world where you dont get what you want. Life sucks...and then you die. Lol ignorance. First of all, Ziggler does not make 1.5mil per year. If he did he’d make the top 10 list of earners in the company, which he didn’t. Second of all, I don’t think you realize how much these wrestlers have to spend while they’re on the road. WWE doesn’t cover any of those travel expenses. Not a dime. You’re talking hotel, flights, rental cars, meals. I think someone was quoted into saying that they spend anywhere from 50k-100k on flights alone. That’s not including the rental cars and other travel expenses. So do that math genius. If ideally you’re the least paid performer on the roster, how much money do you really take home after travel expenses? Probably less than half of your pay. why do you think Midcard talents from the last 20 years are still working to this day? The pay ain’t all that great unless you’re on that upper card. Everyone is scratching to get there. So do some more homework before you start spitting out your opinions as facts.

The only person I want fired from WWE is the bunghole writter that never put the world title on Braun last year.

Never understood why people list every single jobber in the company in these threads. Jobbers have as much a part to play as main event talent. They're needed.
