WWE Releases Veteran Superstar, Wrestler Upset Over His Status

WWE announced this weekend that it has released veteran performer Chavo Guerrero from his contract.

In a statement on the matter, Guerrero claims that he drove the release by asking WWE to end his contract with the company.

“My release is the big news I was talking about. But let’s get something straight. I asked for my release. I was just tired of not being used correctly. Just cuz u can make other ppl look good, doesn’t mean they should just have u lose to them,” explained Chavo in a lengthy statement on Twitter.

He added, “The same thing happened to Eddie. After being champ, they still had him working mid card status. Being a Guerrero, we’ve been taught since diapers to get the most out of ppl & matches. It’s our gift, but also our curse. WWE has always used us to make other ppl look good.”

Guerrero had certainly not been portrayed as an upper-tier member of the card in recent years, and that status issue seemed to take its toll on the Superstar.

He explained, “It all comes down to being happy. I was not happy in WWE anymore. I had a smile on my face last night though when I got my release though! 🙂 now it’s time for me to start being a Guerrero again, and start kicking ass again, be able to tell stories in the ring like u know we can. 🙂 win or lose I will never go back to the place WWE put me in… I will never go back to being under utilized and watching ppl who suck get bigger “pushes” than me! Thank u to all of u who stuck by me & kept reminding me, I was better than that! :)”
