<font color=goldenrod>...or not.

WWE has come to terms on the release of SmackDown Superstar Ricky Ortiz as of today, Aug. 8, 2009. We wish Ricky the best in all future endeavors.</font>

Never cared for him really

<font color=goldenrod>Seems like the new way to release people in WWE is to job them out within seconds, THEN cut them. First Kendrick, now Ortiz.

I thought Ortiz had some charisma to him...his motivational speaker gimmick seemed to get decent enough "someone please punch this guy in the face" heat. Ah well.</font>

Dude never had a chance

no big loss there.... don't think he had that "it" factor..... people can blame it on the gimmick.... but IMO he's just not that good

I guess that means Tyler Reks will only last a few months as well. Seems like a similar guy.

Looks like they finally threw in the towel.

*badum chh*

lol "Lame Central"

good, fucking hated that guy

.............................................................who?

Me too?

Ricky Ortiz Fired.
 

Just noticed it on the main page. Im posting from my phone, so I dont think I can copy it over. Credit Ryan Clarke or whatever.

Anyway, only saw him wrestle once and wasnt that impressed. Thoughts?

He was still pretty damn green

Thanks for the info.



OR NOT

They are so stupid. He would have been a better jobber than Tony Two Toes from Topeka.

:-\

STFU. Didn't see that. :p

I never really got into Ricky Ortiz, but I think the guy got it hard on here. He has charisma and could handle a mic well. He also had a good look -- his character just wasn't a really high priority. I mean, his finishing move was a splash. Ortiz is no Ultimate Warrior.

The man could have made a good mid-carder if allowed to develop more, but I guess he wasn't that young and wasn't ever going to be intentionally used as a main event talent. Not a grave loss for the company. Always sad to see someone lose a job, though.

It didn't help that he was on SmackDown!. He doesn't really seem to fit the type of show they are trying to put forward. He would work a lot better on RAW, where entertainment seems to be the first priority, and he would only need to go out there for three minutes on a good night. He could have squashed guys like Noble and Kendrick and gotten pretty over as a mid-card face.

A trade for Chavo Guerrero, or something, would have been good a while back.

They did one thing right......fire that piece of shit.

WOOOOOO!

Can't say I care too much, vince was obviously bored and felt like firing someone. I swear he does this atleast once a week now...

Not really much place for him in WWE to be honest.

This is true. Hopefully the guy tries FCW again and improves his game. If he gets better pretty quickly, then his natural charisma should get him back into the WWE. He reminds me of Cryme Tyme when they initially got released, although Cryme Tyme were undoubtably more over.

THANKS FOR MERGING MY THREAD WITH THIS ONE AND MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A DICK. :mad:

Dan, with your sig, you could never look like a dick. :kiss:

Noid, you have made my evening.

A happy Tazz means no apocalypse here on the forums.

Volare knows. :y:

My only problem with you, Dan...only problem...is that you introduced those sigs to me before I have fully mastered the ability to enter images on the internet and create a disconnected universe where they are more than interactive.

Make more threads Tazz Dan, I don't see that sig nearly often enough.

Wayne Rooney from Man U?

<font color=goldenrod>What's interesting is that last week I read a report that Ortiz was wrestling a returning Eugene at a house show, and that they would probably feud when Eugene was brought back to TV. Guess not.

Maybe they decided nobody wants to see Nick Dinsmore come back as a retard.</font>

What sig?

:shifty:
