- Teddy Long
- Camacho
- Brodus Clay
- Evan Bourne
- Yoshi Tatsu
I'll be honest: I'm only really sad about Evan Bourne and Yoshi Tatsu. Evan Bourne was a pocket rocket: a little guy who flew every chance he got. Though he had been grounded by injury for quite some time--over a year, maybe even two--his aerial antics stuck in the minds of fans who were hoping for a triumphant return. His tag-team title reign with Kofi was exciting.Yoshi Tatsu was one of those guys who would do anything he was asked to do, whether it was allowing himself to be "crushed" by Rusev or demolished in a 7-on-1 attack by the Nexus. His music was cute, and you could see the joy he had in performing for the fans.
Both were fun to watch, and I'll miss seeing both of them...even if we didn't get to see much of either of them in recent years. If the WWE would ever resurrect the Cruiserweight Championship title--which they should for a show airing on the WWE Network--these two would be valuable assets. It's a shame to see them go.
As for the rest, Teddy Long has been around for a long time, but his gimmick has been played out for a while. ("Holla holla holla, Playah!") Camacho was just a thug, and his character never had any personality. Brodus Clay...well, I won't make any jokes about extinction, but his Funkasaurus character, while popular with the children, wouldn't work as a heel character. I guess he didn't evolve quickly enough. *sigh* (I tried. Really.)
But, like Johnny Ace, we wish them well in their future endeavors.
