Lance Cade Released


From WWE.com:


World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Lance Cade as of October 14, 2008. WWE wishes Lance the best in all future endeavors.


So let me get this straight. He is teaming with Trevor Murdoch with their only decent feud coming against the Hardy Boyz...he has a job. They break up the tag team making both members useless...he has a job. They reunite the tag team and do nothing with them...he has a job.


Now you break up the tag team again only to align him with the hottest wrestler in the company during arguably the best feud of the year...and he's gone?


Not sure if anymore details will be released but something tells me this is more than just a budget cut. Val Venis is still employed but Lance Cade just has to go? Why invest so much television time? Was that hardcore match on Raw against Michaels really the payoff for Cade's involvement in the storyline? I guess it has to be...because he is now out of a job.


I guess Jericho was right, the worst was yet to come.

Ok. So after having Lance Cade languish around after a brief high point as a tag team wreslter with Trevor Murdoch and then stumble around in wrestling limbo until he's paired with Y2J in his awesome feud with HBK that WWE finally gives Cade his walking papers?! Some would argue that Cade should've been released soon after Murdoch got the axe but that's another discussion.

This maybe a budget cut but like the blog pointed out alot of television time was invested into the feud (meaning Cade, Y2J, and HBK) and now Cade is out of job. Go figure. Another puzzling decision made by the WWE. How much worse of baffling can things get now (meaning company wise and creatively)? We may need to embrace for a shitstorm up ahead. Who knows?

Another classic case of the trigger being pulled a moment too late or in the case; months too late.
