Apparently Lance Rock (aka Lance Hoyt) has also been released from his TNA contract. While that doesn't shock me, the release of Petey Williams certainly does. I've got to think this is a mutual decision of some sort.
Williams is a solid talent. While there was nothing too special about him, there was never anything offensive about him, and there's no reason he could not have had a good home in the X-Division, or working the occasional main event match when there is no one better.
If I were the WWE, I'd give him a look. He's a solid talent, and could easily fill a Jamie Noble-type role, or play an underdog face character. But if I were Williams, I'd think more about trying out for ROH, since they are apparently looking for fresh talent.
