SEEYA!!!!!
Yes. I was released by WWE. There's only two things that are on my mind right now.
1) Move back to Chicago.
2) Go to England and Professionally Wrestle Johnny Saint.
There'll be a lot more to come, but for now, sit tight.
Goodbye Scotty Goldman. Hello (again) Colt Cabana!
GOOD TIMES, GREAT MEMORIES!

Aw man. Call me naive, but I was betting against a Colt release. I loved his work as FCW announcer and thought maybe the fed did as well, at least enough to keep him on the payroll. Guess not.
I'm off to a UK house show a few days after the draft takes place. Anyone know if the draft will affect those house shows? I wanted to go to an SD show (which surprised even me!), but could only get Raw tickets. If MVP gets drafted to Raw I wanna see him dammit!
