    JTG closing in on 7 years - http://www.lolwrestling.com/how-long-has-jtg-been-employed

    Steve Austin only wrestled in WWE for 7 years and that was with lenghty periods off for injuries. Rock put in about 5-6 years full-time.

    No, Evan :( I wanted to see him back on tv at some stage. Tatsu isn't that surprising, Brodus is, and I'm not really sure if I'm surprised about the other two or not.

    Plus those releases will free up roster space for those in NXT for when they eventually get that call up to the main roster. And i doubt anyone will miss those released.

    Long surprises me, given he's been a part of the shows on and off for so, so long. Felt it was a "job for life" thing, and am kind of surprised they've released him.

    Clay I always felt had so much potential; I genuinely thought he could have gone on to be a solid upper-mid card heel.

    I suppose Bourne and Tatsu aren't hugely surprising, but they've survived for so long that it kind of surprises me they've let them go, if that makes sense.

    My heartfelt advice to anyone released by WWE is DON'T start a podcast and even DON'Ter start a comedy Youtube video channel.

    The writing was on the wall for brodus once they dropped the funkasaurus gimmick! No more room for a monster heel!

    Jesus, yeah, I read this thread, wandered off downstairs to make a sandwich and the second I remembered him I ran back up to make sure he wasn't on the list.

    Aksana was the only one to be written off TV in any sort of way then?

    Teddy Long has been there since 1998.
    Long debuted in the WWF as a referee on the 21st December 1998 episode of Raw is War and stayed with that role until September 2002, when he was taken off the road. Like his previous referee stints, Long went by the shortened Teddy Long name during this period. He was a referee at the Over The Edge 1999 PPV, during the match after Owen Hart's tragic death: a mixed tag match between Jeff Jarrett/Debra and Val Venis/Nicole Bass. Long was the referee when Darren Drozdov ended up paralyzed and can be seen in WWE's Don't Try This At Home warning looking at the paramedics lift Droz up on a stretcher.

    Talk about getting off to a bad start....

    How does he keep getting away with it? Surely he should have went when his original partner was let go

    JTG's gonna be added to that list before the night's out. Someone at WWE.com is just trolling the internet by withholding it.

    Don't they've a ton of leeway in terms of how poorly they can treat them? I believe the way the contracts work is that if you haven't earned more than your guaranteed sum for the year of a contract, you receive the difference at the end.

    As far as I'm aware, if you're released and have earned more than the guaranteed amount for that portion of that year (e.g. you've been paid 30k so far, none of which came from an advance on your guaranteed pay, in a contract which started on January 1st and your contract states a guaranteed sum of 60k), you get f*ck all?

    >In the case of Teddy Long, his WWE contract expired. He had been taken off TV for some time and it was well known in the company that he was going to be departing the company.

    >In the case of Yoshi Tatsu, there was a feeling for some time that he had really regressed in the ring. The company had attempted to find another role for him, including trying him out as a ring announcer in NXT.

    >Regarding Brodus Clay, the feeling among those I've spoken with is that he fell out of favor with creative, which was obvious when they broke up his team with Tensai and then did nothing with him. His final appearance for the company was putting over NXT champ Adrian Neville on TV, which was a sign there wasn't a plan for him going forward.

    >We haven't heard much in the way of Evan Bourne's release but he hasn't wrestled in a long time on the main roster after being hurt in a car accident while he was out on a Wellness suspension. There was always a ton of potential for him in the ring but the timing was never in his favor.

    >The departures of Curt Hawkins and Camacho were the biggest surprises amongst people in the company we've heard from. Camacho was extremely popular within NXT circles and had a strong charisma and was well spoken in recent appearances. Hawkins had several more years on his current deal and had been considered a good hand in the ring, although he had not been utilized beyond putting people over in recent months.

    >Hawkins has a school he opened in Long Island, so he was already preparing a "Plan B" for himself and will likely get a ton of indy work in the Northeast.

    >The belief is there may me a few more releases among the wrestlers, but when releases happen, paranoia does kick in and everyone begins to freak out, so we will see.
