Big Hoss has left the building

[Roadster]

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger called in to Chael Sonnen's podcast this week and revealed that he has requested his release from WWE. Audio from the segment is above. Swagger said he requested the release yesterday and while it's still an "ongoing process," the decision came down to contract negotiations and the two sides were way off. Swagger said the company doesn't value him as much as he values himself and it's time to go.

Swagger added that he left WWE because he wasn't receiving opportunities. He's looking forward to wrestling in the UK, Mexico and Japan. Swagger also expressed interest in doing MMA if someone wants to pay him.

Very happy with this news. Swagger finally getting what he deserves - a mega run on the indies and abroad.

Swagger hasn't been used in ages. This is a logical decision made by both parties.

I wish him the best of luck. Not that I'll care that much.

He had two mega pushes and no one cared......Let that sink in.

He isn't Cody Rhodes

Not at all. I doubt I'll bother to find out where he goes to work from here.

I probably liked him a little bit when he was with Zeb and Cesaro.

Guys got talent. Will be booked quickly. He also talked about stepping into the cage, which I found interesting

He wanted to join UFC, but went to WWE instead

Apparently WWE has not released him yet. They claim it hasn't been granted, and when it is he'll be under a no-compete clause for 90 days. Just seems like a "fuck u buddy" before he leaves.
