View Full Version : Another WWE release
source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
It has been confirmed that Travis "Tyson" Tomko, 32, was released from his contract with World Wrestling Entertainment a few weeks ago. Tomko re-signed with the company in November.
Tomko's first match back in the company was a dark match prior to the December 15, 2008 episode of Raw in a winning effort over Paul Burchill. However, he was greatly limited by a torn pec and Vince McMahon thought he looked terrible during his lone outing. The former TNA World Tag Team Champion looked noticeably soft during the match.
WWE's Senior Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis took a lot of heat over signing Tomko. There was a feeling he should have had a full medical exam before signing him to see if there was a major injury.

Vince is proxy-hating Christian through this firing.

I heard a story that Vince used to quote taking a shit as taking a Christian. Until that time he was constipated and realised that he just jobbed to him........

................................................................................Are they serious? Really? With how much money is on the line in the wrestling industry they don't give everyone they sign a full medical exam? You don't buy a used car from a street corner without looking under the hood.

You're lucky if you get past dark matches in the WWE lately.

Heh. It's not like they'll ever fire him or anything. He's the most useless suit ever. He's good for god damned nothing. Vince wants to make a cost cutting measure, they should can Laurinitis.

Come on, everyone knows he was fired because he has the same first name as Tyson Kidd.
So why didn't they just rename him Goat Tomko?

Anybody see that dark match on Youtube? Looked soft. What a pile of crap. Chris Jericho looks soft, Tomko does and did in that match, look like a beast. Could have give him a shot after Mania for all its worth..
