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.

No loss, and watch for Cade and Murdoch's reunion tour soon, coming to an indy near you.

[WrestleFan0213]

kinda suprising considering he was involved in a high profile fued.....i had an idea something was up when he wasnt there last nite

[OnceXtremeAlwaysXtreme]

suprising since they were talking like they were going to push him as a singles wrestler.

[lateralus4885]

see ya!!!!

gone but will not be missed

[Mike the Mark]

i love the double-double-e. Fucking idiots.

How so? He was one of the better workers WWE's had in quite a while.

[GrayGhost]

I didnt care for him, but in your opinion, he was "one of the better ones", thats fine.

Why? Did he turn you down for an interview?

[GrayGhost]

No. haha. Will be a while before another one of those. I liked his work w Trevor Murdoch, but the solo stuff didn't impress me a lot, thats all. I never said he sucked, thats for sure.

[FlairFanatic]

Im a bit shocked. I figured they might push the HBK vs His student feud...i liked that idea. Instead we will see y2j vs batista and vs HBK every other week, boring.

I did enjoy Mr Cade and felt he was a good in ring performer. Oh well, call another greenhorn up from FCW

Typical schizo WWE. Push a guy one week, fire him the next.

There's probably more to the story than we know right now.

Jim Ross has updated the blog section of his website at JrsBarbq.com, and this time around he addresses the reason why Lance Cade was released from WWE. JR blogged to clear the air over wrongful speculation that Cade was released due to poor performances in his recent Raw outings. Ross said the following:

As many of you know, Lance Cade was abruptly released from his contract this week much to the surprise of many of us. I have always thought that Cade had a wealth of physical potential and he was always a polite young man in my dealings with him. Like many fans, I too did my share of arm chair quarterbacking as to why Cade was not featured in a more prominent role on WWE TV programming. However it seemed that in the past several weeks those issues were being addressed even to the point of Cade defeating HBK on a recent Monday Night Raw.

The story that I have read on many internet sites about the reason for Cade's sudden dismissal isn't accurate. Many pundits speculate that Cade was dismissed because of a bad performance in a recent TV bout against DX on Raw which is absolutely untrue. Lance's dismissal had zero to do with his in ring performances or his lack of ability.

Lance Cade was dismissed from the WWE because, like many humans, he made a major league mistake while utilizing bad judgment that cost him his job. This included Lance having a seizure on an airplane and having to have emergency medial care. Luckily, Lilian Garcia was on the same flight and was instrumental in helping Lance get taken to a hospital where a battery of tests were run that luckily determined that there was nothing seriously wrong with the young man such as a brain tumor, etc.

Everyone makes mistakes, Lord knows I have made plenty in my career, but in this day and time some mistakes just simply can't be condoned. To some fans, Lance Cade will likely still be perceived as the victim in this matter and his punishment too harsh.

Under the circumstances of the situation, I don't know what other decision the WWE could have made. I'm just relieved that it wasn't me in my former role that would have had to address this matter. I really like this kid and hope that he continues to follow his dreams. Second chances are not foreign in the wrestling business so perhaps that could be in Lance's future but that's just a personal observation.

Lance Cade is a talented young man whose best days should be ahead of him and I wish him nothing but success. Lance has been knocked down and now it is up to him to get off the canvas and get back in the game. I'm damn sure pulling for him.

Let's hope Lance's peers are paying attention to this situation.

So it was drug related?

[GrayGhost]

Sounds like it from that description.

[DavidDeacon]

Well it must've been bad for the WWE to not enact its three strikes rule with him. Well, maybe they already did but kept quiet.

Regardless, it sucks. I thought Cade had promise.

*you're

I hope they were really GOOD drugs if they were worth his job.

Quote:

What Bryan Alvarez said over at Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online: QUOTE I knew Lance Cade was in deep trouble the moment he had that bad performance on Raw in a tag match with HHH, Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho. That's a recipe for doom.

Well, that definitely turned out to be true.

[kenx59]

well thats kinda suprising considering hes been on tv the past month.

[Captain Howdy]

So...

Anyone wanna start an over/under pool on how long it is before TNA signs Cade and Murdoch and has them squash Beer Money Inc. for the tag titles just so they can try to "stick it to Vince" and fail miserably at it once again?

Over 90 days, under 120 days. (Depends on exactly how the non-compete expiration date lines up with the date of the nearest available TNA PPV.)

[Captain Howdy]

...so that means we can put you down for any time between January 18th and February 8th of 2009. We'll just have to see when the date for Genesis is announced.
