Brian Kendrick released

"World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Raw Superstar Brian Kendrick as of today, July 30, 2009. WWE wishes Brian the best in all future endeavors. "

Apologies if i put this in the wrong place

Its in the right place mate cheers

Ouch, seen it coming but its still a sore one!

I guess they didn't have much going for him, Jobbing to Kofi and The King

WWE release Kendrick who is one of the best heels in wwe who is brilliant in the ring gets released, somtimes i think wwe don't like talented wrestlers when they release someone like Kendrick and keep useless wastes of space like Batista.

The writing was on the wall for him as soon as he got drafted to RAW so soon after being kept off TV, its a shame, it wasn't even a year ago he stole the show in the SD! scramble match

He should have been headed to ECW if SD had nothing for him, real shame, waste of a gimmick as well

oh man Kendrick was a great talent i really enjoyed him guess he put himself out in a way always smoking cannabis killing he's push everytime they went to give it to him

i never liked him to be honest and he was never going to main event as some suggested

Very talented worker, but with Bourne being the chosen high flyer on RAW and his smoking weed pissing Vince off it's ot much of a shock. Will be a good addition to either TNA or ROH.

I thought after that report came out that Vince wasn't to fussed with weed smoking anymore it would get him more of an opportunity!

Shame, still with him and London now in the indies their is every chance they might reform in TNA if they are looking to split the Machine Guns up

best charactor bar a few tnas gain

to bad he is gone it would be great if he kept looking for a tag team partner cause that stopped al in a suddon

i liked him better when he was with london cause those two together where fun to watch but I guess TNA will now have what, 3 new ex wwe superstars

I think Kendrick might go to ROH for a bit

My memorys pretty pop at the moment, but wasn't Paul London the guy who no-showed for TNA tapings and they had to have someone else tag with Amazing Red?

If so, I doubt Kendrick would reform with London in TNA. Think Kay Fabes right, and Kendrick will go to ROH for a while.

I think London had a good reason to no show although that might be another time, I think TNA might be interested in both since they where an extremely talented tag team in the WWE, they held the Tag titles on SD for what seemed like ever but Kendrick I can see heading to ROH for a bit

Not so much unexpected but still a shame.

Him and London were a brilliant TagTeam, were excellent to watch, would be nice for them to join again in Tna or something.

Thats pish, Kendrick is class

I'd like them to come into TNA, as it would add another tag team, but it would then allow for others to go their seperate ways in singles for a while. Saying that, I reckon wherever these two turn up they'll do well.

i was quite annoyed to hear he'd been let go. i mean, there was nothing being done with him, maybe a TINY feud with Jerry Lawler was starting, but nothin major, i was hoping he could've had a run at the US title, cause him and Kofi, given the time, could tear it up!

Backstage News On Why Brian Kendrick Was Fired

The latest victim of WWE's dreaded "future endeavors" announcement was The Brian Kendrick, and a PWInsider report sheds the first bit of light on the matter.

According to the report, Kendrick's release can largely be attributed to his backstage attitude and motivation as a performer. The internal feeling was that while Kendrick did what he was told, he carried a negative attitude and gave the impression that he did not deeply care about being there. WWE thus saw little potential for Kendrick to breakout as a valuable member of the roster and opted to sever its ties with the wrestler.

It remains to be seen if Kendrick's release is a compounded consequence of his behavior or if a specific incident brought WWE officials' concerns to a boil.

Sources are also quick to mention reports that Kendrick was one of WWE's most frequently-fined Superstars for marijuana use, although it is unclear if that played any role in his release--under the Wellness Policy, there is no punishment, beyond the fine, for using the drug.
