It's a good time to be a WWE fan. The company's roster is the healthiest in years with the large-scale influx of World Champion calibre stars from some of their biggest rivals.And how can you forget the returns of Kurt Angle and The Hardy Boyz which have only added to the star power?However, for every return or big-ticket signing, there is a cost-effective measure being taken by the WWE to balance the scales and one of them sadly for the undercard is talent cuts.WWE has offloaded a host of names -- both short-term and long-term employees -- in a bid to create more space on their roster.The months of October and November themselves have seen seven departures and this list takes a look at the reasons behind each one of them.Note: Austin Aries is not mentioned in this list as he was released July, the reason behind which has been covered in this list.#7 Jim JohnstonA future hall of famer."End of an Era," that's what Dave Meltzer tweeted out after the news of the legendary composer's WWE release started doing the rounds, and we couldn't agree more with the veteran pro wrestling journalist.Jim Johnston helped build the foundation stone that Attitude Era rose from.The 58-year-old legend has shaped the careers of icons such as The Undertaker and Rock with his masterful creations. Such was his contribution that the fans were surprised by the low-key release of the pioneer and WWE's intriguing silence regarding the entire situation.As reported by Meltzer himself, Johnson was always expected to leave WWE after his contract expired, which incidentally ran out last week.Johnston reportedly wanted to stay on and build on his outrageous 32-year legacy but WWE had different ideas.With CFO$ taking up the bulk of the work since 2012 and the fact that Johnston commanded a 'heavy' contract, letting him go was the sensible business decision from the WWE.The top brass to feel it's the end of the Johnston Era and that the torch has been passed to CFO$. The folks down at CFO$ have huge shoes to fill.
