#1 Vince McMahon believes that the current product is stale
Ultimately, it all comes down to the big boss. Vince McMahon does not believe that the current crop of talent can become stars, according to Wrestling Observer Radio. And therefore, he wants fresh faces to replace the current crop of talent. One way to achieve this is to trim the fat and allow others to step in and take their place.
And this is not a knock on the three men that have been released but they were not Vince McMahon guys. All three of them are smaller individuals than the kind of superstars that Vince McMahon is traditionally known to push. He probably felt that there are others, maybe even in the same weight class, who will get over with the WWE Universe.
Sometimes, it's the inability of WWE to spot the talent in certain Superstars that severely impairs them. Remember how hot the crowd once was for Tye Dillinger, drowning him in thunderous 'ten' chants?
And those were the five reasons I believe that they were let go.
