It may not have been something that was officially decided years ago, but this isn't a shocking turn of events. When I saw her name in the thread title, I immediately thought "she's been released." |

That's the funny thing. He has that charisma that WWE doesn't let people show on TV most of the time. (For example: remember when NOBODY thought Big Show could not do anything except be generic Andre clone until that SNL cameo? Kinda like that.) I got more enjoyment from watching the guy on JBL and Cole show than on a wrestling show that we're SUPPOSED to see him on. Kinda similar to someone like Rusev. I was adamantly against that guy since NXT, and if my opinion on him were solely from a RAW/Smackdown standpoint, I'd be calling for his head. But he does shit on social media that's fucking funny, or great, or worlds better than the boring meathead foreign heel shit they have had him doing since the dawn of time.
On TV, Slater is a whiny pussy who loses all the time. If that's all that's being put forward on national television, of course he looks like the world's biggest sucka. That's where both Drew and Jinder were before. Yes, there are other things at play with Mahal, but he's making the most of it, he's not David Otunga levels of bad and a big red mark against him is that hotshotting from jobber to number one contender in literally one week... there was no ride to take; no climb to power, and nothing to solidify him as being able to stay champion credibly... even the most chickenshit of heels started getting legit wins after awhile. McIntyre could have been booked to be a badass last time, but Vince just got bored with him one day soon after putting the man over his goddamn self on a televised promo. Heath could use a fresh coat of paint. Even if they don't release the guy, send him to Florida. Seriously, they don't have to treat that shit as a demotion. Let him shed the last vestiges of that One Man Rock Band crap, let him go in the ring, and give him some sort of direction to go in instead of just another guy who is just on the roster. |

Backstage charisma sadly means nothing. I mean, you can see Rusev's in little things like the Ziggler program and the League of Nations stuff. You've got to have it out there in front of people. I guess booking and that sort of stuff can get in the way, but that's the world we live in, sadly.
I'm not sure if Slater is the sort of guy to even go like the guys who are labelled as being able to "go" in today's day and age, you know? I'd like to see him given a chance, but I think that if he's gone he'll just get to make cameo appearances every now and then. Unless he does really draw eyeballs to his work outside the WWE. |

If you had told me in 2010 that Heath Slater would be the last of the original eight Nexus numbers to still be actively competing in WWE, I would've laughed in your face. Slater was insufferable being booked as a squeaky clean babyface on the first season of of NXT and he looked absolutely ridiculous trying to play a ruthless bad guy in all of those group beatdowns.
Fair play to him for figuring out not long after that his path to success was to go the comedy route. He's been fun to watch ever since 2012 or so. |

The womens division is spread over two shows, so each show basically has 5 wrestlers. Not sure why they woukd release one with a bit of skills like Emma.
Summer Rae nobody cares because she was pretty terrible and was basically a hold over from the Diva bimbo era. |

No. He joined after they started the feud with Cena and some original guys left.

They should have Maria be like Sunny and have her just fuck everybody while Mike Kanellis plays Chris Candido. Have Mike walk in on Maria getting plowed by Paul Heyman and he could breakdown and cry. It would garner such sympathy and he could take on Brock Lesnar at the PPV.

What's your favorite team he's been in, Nexus aside?
I thought 3MB were funny at times, Rhyno & Slater started well, but have hardly been used on RAW. I actually thought Slater-Gator was quite entertaining, and I felt they both played off each other well and had pretty good chemistry. Rhyno & Slater are awesome too...why does Vince ignore that they're on the RAW roster? Get them involved in matches with the other like 3-4 teams once in a while, maybe even The Revival, assuming they're still teaming upon returning from injury. |

Just on Summer Rae: People seen to forget she had an active run as a bitch heel in NXT. I don't want to say she was great or anything, but she actually helped get Sasha and Charlotte over, from memory. She had catchy, although generic, theme music too. Paige, Emma, Summer and, as a visiting coach, Natalya were kind of like a pre-Horsewomen. |

Didn't Michael Tarver turn out to be completely crazy or something? He's still working on the independents in the Florida region as Monster Tarver.
