Mark Jindrak - As a singles guy he didn't really show much charisma but he could've done okay in the tag ranks.

Maven - No complaints. Never liked Maven as a face and by the time he turned heel it was too late to make the fans care.

Shannon Moore - This is a shame. He could've been great in the cruiserleagues...... but since WWE never pushes the cruiserleague, maybe it's good that he can go somewhere he'll be appriciated. Maybe reunite with Matt Hardy in TNA?

James Yun (Akio) - Another shame but again, creative had nothing for him since Tajiri moved to RAW over a year ago, so in a way it could be a blessing in disguise for him.

David Heath - Poor Gangrel... so close but yet so far. FunkyM LIKED Gangrel (and his cool ring of fire entrance) and thought he could've made a good temporary enemy for the Undertaker but guess WWE has no place for a wrestling Vampire. :(

Billy Kidman - Reminds FunkyM of a young Bret Hart. Maybe that's why Vince fired him! He has no personality though so FunkyM understands why WWE didn't keep him.

Spike Dudley - WWE always seemed to appriciate Spike's ability to take huge bumps to put over their hoss of the week... wonder why he got canned? Speaking of which... except for the short ECW PPV push, the Dudleys have been off TV for months. Would anybody be surprised if they got let go soon? Or if D-Von got let go so they could give Bubba another singles push?

Kevin Fertig (Mordechai) - Never really got to see what he had to offer. Mordechai was a bad gimmick and it got aborted so fast FunkyM barely remembers this guy. Think he was giving Cornette problems in OVW though, so that probably helped him get his pink slip.
