News on Ace Steel's release

[KingofOldSchool]

Ace Steel's release was talked about for a while now as WWE officials never saw a lot of value in him. However, the deciding factor in his release was stemming from an altercation he had a few weeks back at an OVW show. According to eye witnesses, Tony Atlas was back at OVW talking with the talent. When he asked for everyone's names, Atlas informed Ace that the office doesn't look too highly on people with the name "Ace". Ace quipped back by asking, "What's it to you, Saba?" When the news of this got to WWE officials, they decided that it was time to let Ace go. Another factor in his release is that with him being friends with C.M. Punk, they decided to set an example to Punk by releasing his friend. As what appears to be a "warning" of sorts to let Punk know that the same fate could be in store for him if he doesn't straighten up and fly right. The only reason why Colt Cabana still has a job is apparently they see him as a kid friendly, comedy character much like Eugene was. Credit: Davey Cheddar Meltzer
