Two Wrestlers Let Go by WWE
As expected, a couple more firings have come down in the WWE, one semi-big name, and one who hasn't been on TV for sometime.
The first, the big name of the two, was former ECW Champ - Sabu. Of course many know that Sabu has not been on the good side of the company since the drug bust along with Rob Van Dam back in June of last year. At that time, he and Van Dam were main players in the new ECW, but from there they both quickly took a backseat, and despite still being on TV a ton, Sabu never really got back out of the dog house after that incident.
He also was well aware that he was going to be let go, and some say that he showed up late at this week's TV in Baltimore on purpose. He was set to lose to Kevin Thorn on the show last night, but was replaced by Nunzio. Sabu is a solid in ring guy, but his backstage issues always have been his downfall. Many say that with RVD leaving the company next month (not a well kept secret), the two will wind up in TNA, and will start a feud with each other there.
The second release was Vito, who had a bizarre character on TV last year as he came to the ring as a face wearing a dress on SmackDown. He was on a roll for sometime on TV, but then his push ended and he was quickly off TV and never really came back. The company did put on their website in their ususal statment that they "wish him well" in the future. He is already taking independent bookings.
