Although previous reports stated that the reason behind Scotty Goldman's release were his look and a creative dead-end regarding his character, those may not be the only reasons.
Apparently, his match against Umaga during his last televised match at SmackDown played an important part too. Goldman was supposed to get the Samoan Spike in a way that it looks more devastating but instead he made it look as if Umaga had missed the move. Vicky ordering the match to be re-started was a consequence of this, so that the finish would look better on TV. This led to some backstage heat on Goldman.

If they are going to fire someone for a botched spot, it should be mike knox. He banged noble up pretty bad. I forget, he use to take steroids, so vince has a crush on him.

It's because Goldman asked to be released from his contract. You don't get fired over one missed spot.
