Who are the on screen talents that need to "hang them up"?

[the madscotsman]

I've been thinking about the WWE's budget cuts and the fact that they let some good exciting talents go but kept high earners that have gotten stale. The following is a list of people I think need to step aside, step behind the camera or just fuck off, as a way to make space for new talent and to save some money.

If you have anymore to add then please do along with a reason.

Kane: He used to be big, he used to be scary and he used to be good. But I watched him on Smackdown a few weeks ago taking a chokeslam from the Big Show and it was nearly as bad as the one that Hogan took from the Undertaker.
I just think that his performances have become half arsed and that's a shame from a guy that used to be fun to watch. I Also think the character has become stale and weakened beyond repair. Send Kane to the performance centre to teach the rookies how to work as a great big man.

Mark Henry: I remember at the Elimination Chamber that he was getting a really good Baby face reaction as a heel and it got bigger when he got eliminated and started to destroy the guys in the match. I thought that could have been his best shot at a permanent spot in the main event, after all he is one of the few people in the company that can do something that no-one else can do. Unfortunately for him he got injured again, and I think that is the problem: He's always fuckin' injured.
Fire him.


The Great Khali: An attraction in a world where we already have the Big Show. We don't need Khali fire him.

I'll think of more and post them later.

I agree with your list so far .I think Kane is in a weird position where when he considers retiring they throw a ton of cash his way . I thought Kane was done a few years back but they brought him in to help get Bryan over . People need to remember DB couldnt get over a speed bump before tagging with Kane . Kane is a GOTO company man .

-Christian because he is so injury prone . I think he would do well as a manager along the lines of Truth Martini . He might make a great heel manager .
-Rey Mysterio. Is he even still active ? He needs to think about his quality of life after Wwe .

I hate to say it because I'm a Kane-maniac, or was, but his character was irreversible damaged by WWE multiple times over the last few years...one last dominant monthly title reign and he should call it quits.

Khali is a world wonder but he simply can't do anything because his body doesn't hold up to his size. Big Show's a helluva sports entertainer although he needs some good storyline again..

Christian could had been some serious contender back then..unfortunately back then! Captain Charisma could indeed be a super heel manager and / or superb trainer in NXT

Kofi Kingston and R-Truth are so badly used that WWE should pull them off the roster..

Not really sure who is active or anything since I haven't seen it much in ages; however, maybe 12+ years active should be hung up including but not limited to:

Jericho (he comes and goes by the sound of it when my step-dad talks)
Christain
Gold Dust
Khali
Cena
Kane
Mark Henry
Mysterio
Orton
RVD
Taker


I'm sure not all those are in bad shape or whatever, but it would make heck of a roster shake up. Send them down to development to start training new guys; bring up the top guys from down there, and "restart" the company -- new product and all.

It'll never happen lol.

OI leave KANE alone lol he still some talent left, if only he was booked right as the monster. I agree KANE changed completely when he removed his old mask many years ago but it was hot under there lol

I say Miz needs to go, he just can not wrestle.

I will get heat for this but I also think Jericho should to. He has just lost it IMO.

Also, what does Khali do anymore lol he should also.

[Relapse]

Kane

100% Agreed.

Its not even completely his fault, but he just needs to hang it up and focus on his insurance company or whatever he started.

WWE killed his character alonngggggggggg time ago.

But how will they have Raw without Jericho? In case you didn't know, Raw is Jericho. So without Jericho how could there be Raw? They'd have to start a new show and lose all the brand recognition they've built up over the years. Sorry, Jericho must stay.

^^ You are almost as smart as The Jerithron 5000. Almost....
