Jay Lethal gone from TNA.
 
"PWTorch has learned that Jay Lethal has parted ways with TNA. His profile has already been removed from TNA's website.

We currently do not have details on what led to Lethal's departure, which came as a surprise to some people in TNA. One TNA source who was present at this week's TV tapings was not aware Lethal was leaving the company.

Lethal worked Tuesday's Impact TV taping after wrestling in the Ultimate Xscape match at the Lockdown PPV on Sunday.

Lethal has rarely been featured on TV this year since dropping the X Division Title to Kazarian at the Genesis PPV in January."

What do you think is next for Lethal? Possible tryout with WWE?

Londoner 04-21-2011 03:45 AM

Oh well.

Tom Guycott 04-21-2011 03:49 AM

"He's the future of the company, Brother!"

XL 04-21-2011 03:55 AM

Forgot he was still with them unitl he turned up at Lockdown. Dude was going places in TNA, shame really.

Shadow 04-21-2011 04:30 AM

Going where? He was a fucking joke. Hell, on the Darkmatch, we constantly used him as a closing segment. I truely hate TNA right now.

XL 04-21-2011 04:36 AM

He was pretty over in his fued with Flair. And what the hell is the darkmatch?

Sixx 04-21-2011 04:38 AM

That's the black Macho Man, right?

Fucking assclown.

Juan 04-21-2011 05:53 AM

Very astute observation, Sixx.

Droford 04-21-2011 06:14 AM

The WWE should sign him

It is indeed.

Next Big Thing 04-21-2011 07:17 AM

Good. Hopefully WWE gives him a developmental deal.

Droford 04-21-2011 07:23 AM

Him, R Truth and Kong could be The Nation of A...ugh..something with an A...TNA haha..ugh

Jimmy Cones 04-21-2011 07:56 AM

The Nation of Assclowns?

I'm glad he left. He's too good for TNA.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll be happy with not getting steady paychecks lol

Jimmy Cones 04-21-2011 08:28 AM

I never said he'd be happy, I said I am. Hopefully he comes to an indy event near me.

Fox 04-21-2011 08:31 AM

Lethal had some great matches with Kurt Angle. He also has a sweet name and a good move set.

The Macho Man thing was a mistake from jump street. You aren't going to get over using someone else's gimmick except as a piece of shit comedy mid-carder. You can't hit the main event that way. Jay Lethal was doing just fine being Jay Lethal before they turned him Macho King.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in the WWE and I think he could be a good addition to the roster and could have some good matches with a lot of their guys. But if he never reappears I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Next Big Thing 04-21-2011 08:33 AM

TNA wrestlers get paid per appearance though and it's not like he was getting featured every week anyways. A WWE developmental deal probably would provide him more stability anyways.

Fox 04-21-2011 08:34 AM

He'll end up on NXT as Jayson Lothalameux or some other retarded name soon enough.

Mr. JL 04-21-2011 11:28 AM

Classic TNA... secure the aged Team 3D (they can't even market their marketable name), and leave the young guns of the future behind.

whiteyford 04-21-2011 11:54 AM

Hes only in his early 20s, sure if WWE doesnt sign him ROH will.

I can definitely see him going to ROH.

NormanSmiley 04-21-2011 12:37 PM

I think Steph has her eye on him for sure....

...either you think she does, or you're sure...one thing is one thing and another thing is another thing.

NormanSmiley 04-21-2011 12:50 PM

i think that went over your head FOR SURE

Innovator 04-21-2011 12:51 PM

Fortunately for him he'll make more in ROH and JAPW than with TNA. Bottom guys in TNA don't even make 18K a year.

TNA has no direction.

i thought he was older then that, i can see wwe picking him up. he paid his dues flair liked him that may help him get in wwe.

whiteyford 04-21-2011 03:28 PM

Just turned 26 today according to wikipedia.

Emperor Smeat 04-21-2011 03:33 PM

Sort of surprised TNA would just let him go unless something bad happened backstage but then it has been a while since he's done anything big on tv.

Then again, TNA has a really bad problem with sudden push or momentum drops for their younger stars for no reason. WWE is just as bad but at least they realize there are certain times when new future stars are needed from their youth ranks.

MoFo 04-21-2011 04:04 PM

He was boring without the impersonator gimmick, which had a limited shelf life anyway.

Aguakate 04-21-2011 04:07 PM

Wow, he's only 26?

He's a baby...he can have a WHOLE career ahead of him...

BizarroKing 04-21-2011 04:23 PM

Say hello to WWE's newest Superstar.

Later on, enjoy working at Joe's Crabshack in Jersey

Mr. Nerfect 04-21-2011 07:47 PM

I'm sure I remember being some interest from the WWE in Lethal before he actually signed with TNA. So it wouldn't surprise me if now that he's proven what he can do if the WWE signed him.

Gertner 04-21-2011 08:47 PM

If Consequences Creed can get a development deal I'm sure Lethal can.

Mr. Nerfect 04-21-2011 08:50 PM

Apparently there is a huge dip in morale in TNA because of this release. Generation Me actually seem really pissed off.

I could see WWE being hurt he signed with TNA instead that they don't sign him for a while or not even at all.
