These WWE Wrestlers Requested To Be Released

They got what they wanted. Last week, WWE continued its streak of releasing wrestlers from the company. This is something that they have done on and off for over the last year and a half, with eighteen more wrestlers being let go in the span of about an hour last week. As has been the case before though, not all of the releases were the same, and some of them were different than the others.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, at least Zayda Ramier, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik all requested their releases from the company. However, WWE did not immediately grant them, but rather waited for the rest of the group of releases to officially let them go. None of the three were being used by WWE, with Ramier only wrestling five matches during her time in the company and neither Metalik nor Dorado wrestling since September.

They are some talented people. Check out the three of them in the ring:

Opinion: I can see both sides of this, but what I don’t quite understand is why WWE would wait so long to let them go if the company had no interest in using them in the first place. Wouldn’t it make things a bit easier to just let them go at the time and not have as much paperwork to worry about later? Either way, it was another huge batch of releases, as WWE continues reshaping its roster in a big way.

What did you think of the releases? Should WWE have waited to let the three wrestlers go? Let us know in the comments below.
