Yep, Daniels' contract expired last week, Kazarian's still has another couple of weeks to go but it looks like he's as good as gone too. Sabin is said to be on the way out as well, as is Kurt Angle if WWE will take another chance on him.
There's just been a few releases from NXT, the most notable of which are Mason Ryan and Shaul Guerrero (again).
Should have made Ryan Batista's brother or something for a laugh.

They tried but he said no to the cheek implants and nose stud. Surprisingly the sun belly button tattoo wasn't a deal-breaker. I think they had some kind of plans for him but he never improved in the ring, to the point where he could have a semi-passable match that's entertaining.
Danny Burch aka Martin Stone & Oliver Grey aka Joel Redman have also been released from NXT. Most of the releases have been European talent.
Man TNA loses Styles, now Sabin, Kaz, and Daniels... All the good ones are leaving. Seems as if it is coming at a time when Jarret is starting up a new company too. Weird.

Kazarian left for good reason. As entertaining as Bad Influence was, their salaries could pay for a younger and probably more exciting tag team plus a couple more guys who could freshen up the company. Veterans in the locker room are a good thing but with the financial problems TNA are in at the moment, letting them go and replacing with fresh and cheap talent that's just as good is the way to go.

Except for the name value you miss out on.
When ever I went and saw TNA when they came over here, I went to see certain guys. If they weren't coming over then I wasn't that interested in going. Name value sells seats, so they need to keep veterans around. They just need to keep the veterans.
Going for 'name value' is one of the reasons they're in this mess.
Over paying the name value is the reason they're in this mess.
Hernandez is gone. Leave the memories alone.
WWE have apparently signed Willie Mack. If this is true I cant wait to see him debut in NXT. Been a fan of his for a while.

I thought a thread would be handy for all wrestlers leaving certain places for various reasons.
"KENTA announced today at a press conference at the NOAH offices that he would be leaving the promotion, with his final show being on 5/17. The belief in Japan is that he is WWE-bound, but at the press conference, he said that he would say later what the next move in his life would be. But he did say that he has a new challenge ahead of him."
I don't think KENTA has been the same since he's had his knee's sorted out. He hasn't had an exemplary match in this decade. If he does go to WWE, all of his main offense has been taken by Punk & Bryan.
Christopher Daniels has been taken off the TNA roster page, his contract was expiring so it doesn't look like he has resigned. Kazarian's contract is also about to expire but he hasn't formally left yet.
