Lance Cade Released

The WWE has reported that Lance Cade has been given his release from the company. Cade was playing the role of Chris Jericho's lackey in his war against Shawn Michaels, and was getting a lot of television time despite not doing much.

I cannot say that I ever saw anything in him, but the WWE usually just keeps pushing their favorite guys until they get over. Given that he was with the company since 2002, I thought this was the start of a prolonged push for him. It hasn't bee reported that he had disciplinary problems, so this news is quite surprising.

It is a shame that he had so much television time in a role that could have gone to someone that had some sort of fan following. It kind of reminds me of when A-Train injured Rey Mysterio in January of 2003 to start his push despite the fans never seeing too much in him as a performer. I think another important question is, what young guys can the WWE even push right now?

They should have kept him and Murdoch together.
