• Released WWE Wrestler Announces Retirement
Former NXT wrestler Luca Crusifino has announced his retirement from professional wrestling after his recent WWE release. He issued the following statement:
“After much reflection, I’ve decided it’s time to close this chapter of my life. Being a part of the WWE has been a dream ever since I was a child. Getting the chance to live out my dream in front of the world is something I’ll never take for granted. To the fans … thank you for every cheer, every boo, every moment of support. You made this journey unforgettable.
I am forever grateful for the friendships that I made along the way. From talent, to coaches, to the creative team, to every single person I came in contact with at the performance center … thank you! Thank you for pushing me, believing in me, and sharing the ring with me. I’ve learned more than I can ever put into words and met some of the greatest people that will be friends for life.
As of today, I’m officially stepping away and retiring from professional wrestling. It’s not an easy decision, but it’s the right one for me.
This isn’t goodbye, just the end of one incredible chapter.
Again, I can not say this enough … Thank you! What an amazing last 4 years and don’t worry about me …
I’ll figure it out
And, no, i’m not joining onlyfans 🤣🤣
With love,
Roman Macek
(Luca Crusifino)”
• “Maybe you should have taken it more seriously” – Hall Of Famer On Released WWE LFG Talent
Bubba Ray Dudley isn’t offering any sympathy to the LFG talent cut from WWE. While several winners and contestants from the first two seasons of LFG, including season one winner Tyra Mae Steele, are no longer with the company, Bubba made it clear he isn’t interested in helping them find their way back.
During an interview with WrestleRant, Bubba was asked if he had any words of wisdom for those who lost their jobs. The Hall of Famer and LFG coach didn’t hold back:
“I give them no advice. They’re gone. There is one talent out there that got let go that I see working hard on her own. In season two, we saw Haze Jameson, now known as Pinky Montoya out there on the independent scene.
Nobody knows why she was released, but she’s trying to make it on her own in the indies and trying to work her way back maybe to LFG or to Evolve or to NXT, wherever.
But I really don’t have advice for these other talents. Maybe you should have taken it more seriously. Maybe you shouldn’t have put your feet up on the table. Maybe you should have shook hands. Maybe you should have been more polite. Maybe you should have busted your a$$ a little more. Maybe you should have cut a better promo. You’ve got five minutes, get over or get out.
This is not a business for boys and girls, it’s a business for men and women. I’m not here to coddle anybody. I’m here to help you sign a contract with WWE, become a millionaire, make something of yourself, and help this business thrive into the future.”
