Smark Out Moment

WWE has announced that two NXT performers have been released. They are Tony Briggs (real name Brian Reid) and developmental trainee C Denzel Freeman, who had never wrestled in front of a live crowd. The former, Briggs, was a jobber using sparingly.

I didn't see this coming. Why? Because I don't know who these two are! Many people try their hand at sports entertainment and it turns out that they just aren't a good fit and these two look like they fall into that category. Hopefully, they'll find their calling elsewhere in some capacity.

UPDATE: WWE has also released a few other members of the developmental system, including Dustin Mueller, Laszlo Vandracsek, Leyvonna Zakari and Courtney Freeman.
