    Written: November 18, 2008

    World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of ECW Superstar Armando Estrada as of Nov. 18, 2008. WWE wishes him the best in all future endeavors.

    Haven't been watching much of WWE lately, has he even been on any of the shows?

    This is getting out of hand now! Why armando? they must have had this planned because they had teddy take over the reigns.

    They had Teddy take over months ago. If they were planning it they'd have released him before now. It looks like it's just another case of "who aren't we using? Let's release them"

    No huge loss. They dropped the ball with this guy two years ago.

    I always thought it was wrong to separate him from Umaga.

    Oh no this is sad news. This guy could have been huge but as VR said they dropped the ball with him big time. In the Attitude era I'm sure he would have been given more mic time but instead they had him drop his intros because he was getting over with the crowd. Hmm I thought that was the whole point of the industry. :rolleyes: Idiots.

    I wish him well. He could have been a great manager.

    Edit: LOL I just realised I'm referring to ShawnRaven's old nick. Will have to get used to this new one. :D

    Fight the Power

    No real surprise to see him go. He was a great manager for Umaga and was decent as ECW GM but once they made him a wrestler the writing was on the wall

    He was really really ripped when he wrestled wasn't he? Would that have anything to do with his release?

    He really was. You wouldn't know it with that suit on. I always that he was a fat overweight forty-something.

    It's the point of faces. Heels are meant to get heat, not get over

    I always enjoyed him on TV, He'll be missed even though he wasn't used correctly, pity he was great at promos and mic work

    Damn, I've always thought he would have been great behind one of the commentary tables.

    In the Attitude era though heels were allowed to get over too. I bet if the New Age Outlaws had been around in 2006 their intros to the ring would have been stopped by the McMahon clowns due to generating a crowd reaction.

    Yeah sometimes I just think too that if something is clicking you should go with it and to me the Umaga/Estrada pairing really worked especially at the beginning at getting Umaga some attention.

    Surely they were broken up for the Trump vs. McMahon angle. Wouldn't really have worked for Umaga to have two managers

    When he became McMahons slave i think he was misused. It didn't do anything for him.
