A Surprising WWE Release - Full Details Posted by Andy Steven on 07/02/2012 at 09:38 PM
Former WWE star Armando Estrada had apparently been under WWE contract for the past year but was never used. He issued the following statement tonight:
"Espérate ... Espérate ... Espérate ...
Everybody, listen to me!
I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone in the wrestling world know that on 6/27/12, I was released from my contract with WWE.
What's that you say??? OH, you didn't know (Road Dogg) I was under contract to WWE? Apparently, a lot of people (including members of creative) were not privy to that information. I have been "working" with World Wrestling Entertainment for almost 18 months. I was only used once during that time period, making a brief cameo as Tyson Kidd's manager in May of last year. I was told I did a great job and to be patient. I have been patient for quite some time now while sitting at home "waiting for the call".
It's not fun, trust me. Numerous creative ideas/scenarios were submitted during my tenure and unfortunately nothing materialized for me. And although my talents were not utilized this time around, should I decide to return to WWE in the future, I firmly believe that door will be open. Timing is everything, not just in showbiz, but in life. Thank you to everyone in WWE!
For those promoters that would like to utilize my talents, believe me when I say, I am the MOST ENTERTAINING individual to step foot into the wrestling industry in the last decade (toot-toot)! If you would like to book me for wrestling shows, autograph signings/appearances, please do so at bookarmando@yahoo.com (serious inquiries only). I will show up on time, in shape, and ready to perform for your audience.
You can also follow me on Twitter @RealArmandoHaHa. Thanks for your time....Oh yeah, 1 last thing. My name es ARMANDO ALEJANDRO ESTRRRADA and I will be making an #Impact soon.........HA-HA! "

It was as bad as it could have possibly been," Christian told the Corpus-Christi Caller newspaper promoting Tuesday's live Smackdown taping. "It was a little bit frustrating to say the least, but it's just one of those things where you got to get through it."
Christian also mentioned that he would like to get back into the World Title status.
"I've always viewed the Intercontinental Champion as the next guy in line to step up. I was fortunate enough to be the champion twice. Winning that title again would be great."

She was than asked whether the person in question was Randy Orton, who is currently serving a sixty-day suspension for his second violation of the Talent Wellness Program. She responded "nope." When asked of the individual again, she responded, "No worries, no one you'll miss."
After reports surfaced online that Maxine had quit WWE, Anderson was asked if it was her. Confirming the reports, she responded, ":) yep."
According to PWInsider.com, Maxine quit WWE due to frustrations with "not being offered a guaranteed deal and not having the chance to prove herself on TV beyond the WWE NXT level." Her profile, however, remains on the company website and no official announcement concerning her status has been made.

After learning the ropes in Florida Championship Wrestling, she was promoted to NXT for the Diva-exclusive third season.

TNA
Conference Call: Austin Aries Talks Main Eventing Destination X, Prestige Of X
Division, More
TNA held a media conference call with Austin Aries on Thursday, June
28 to promote the TNA Destination X pay-per-view. The following are the
highlights of the call.
-Aries was asked about changes between his
first run and his current run. He said he was able to step back and learn from
his first run with the company. He said the company is giving him a chance this
time around and he's letting his work speak for itself.
-Aries was asked
about auditioning for WWE Tough Enough. He said he was dealing with a talent
agency and not with the company itself. He compared it to acting in that
sometimes you get the part and sometimes you don't.
-A caller was asked
what made him want to go back to TNA. He said you don't always get second
chances and he wanted to take advantage of that. "It was a pay day and I didn't
have anything going on that week, so I figured why not I've got nothing to
lose," Aries said.
-Aries was asked whether he would prefer to work with
X Division wrestlers or heavyweight wrestlers. He said he feels comfortable with
anybody in the ring.
-Regarding Impact going live, Aries said he feels
everyone amps it up an extra notch because the show is live. He said he hopes it
continues beyond the summer.
-Aries was asked about wrestlers he would
like to see join the roster. He mentioned Rhett Titus, Kenny King, and Grizzly
Redwood. He noted that he trained Titus and Grizzly. He said they have something
to offer in the ring and in the locker room.
-A caller asked if there's a
moment that stands out most to him in his TNA run this far. He said the securing
his contract during his second run was a big moment. He said there were no
promises and he was able to step up.
-Aries was asked whether he feels it
is important to showcase the X Division in pay-per-view and television main
events more often or if he's comfortable with the current setup. He said there
will always be some debate regarding whether the division is a top championship
or a secondary championship. He feels the Destination X setup is a step in the
right direction and he leaves those calls to the company's decision
makers.
-Aries was asked if there's anyone in particular that he would
like to see become the face of the X Division now that he's stepping aside. He
said he felt Chris Sabin was ready to step up and resume his singles career if
it wasn't for his injury. He feels Jesse Sorensen was also on the path before he
suffered his neck injury. He teased that there will be new X Division talent and
names from the past returning as they head into the pay-per-view. He said he
hopes someone steps up like he did.
-It was noted that the X Division
Title belt's prestige was raised during his reign. He was asked what the company
can do to make sure the title remains as important. He said he feels the
championship is only as important as the guy who holds it. He recalled joking
recently that he rubs belt, they don't rub him. He said it's about having
quality talent and competition. He said there have been injuries and departures,
and the division became a little less competitive that he hoped it would be. He
said there are efforts to restock it and so it's a matter of accumulating talent
and letting the best guys get ahead. "I'm a big proponent of that," Aries said
about giving guys the ball and seeing if they can carry it.
-A caller
asked what changed about Ring of Honor that led to him being critical of it. He
said that he didn't want to get into talking about other companies on a TNA
conference call, but he noted that the people who had the original passion and
energy are no longer there. He said that's what separated Ring of Honor from the
pack previously and he doesn't know if that exists today.
-Aries was
asked about TNA's shift to using elements of reality television. He said it's a
slippery slope. He feels there are elements they can use and pull the curtain
back a bit, but he said they should only want to pull the curtain back so much.
"The bottom line is I don't think we want to put a product out there that looks
over produced," Aries said. He said he wants to see guys sound like themselves
and he feels they have the talent to pull that off.
-Aries was asked
about being vilified at times during his career. He said it's nice to get a
chance to show "some people and some places" what he can do when he's given the
chance. He said his second run with the company has allowed him to prove some of
the things he's said. "I've always been a polarizing figure," he said. "I have a
strong personality." He said he's comfortable with who he is. "If you're not
stirring the pot a little bit and you're not making people nervous, then you're
not doing something right."
-Aries was asked which wrestlers influenced
him. He noted that Jerry Lynn and Sean Waltman came out of the Twin Cities like
he did and they were inspirations to a lot of the smaller guys. He also
mentioned the Four Horsemen and the Midnight Express when he was younger, and
Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit as he got older.
He said it was the guys who felt the most believable and had the most conviction
in what they were doing.
