Does this mean he doesn't need to wait that stupid ass 60 days, right? I'm pretty sure after the CM Punk and Del Rio incidents, they suddenly realised that they're independant contractors and therefore can't be forced to not compete for 60 days so he can be back wrestling on TV sooner rather than later?

One of my buddies is a legit mark for Fandango, it's crazy.. I know being a Sandow mark is weird but c'mon, Fandango? and this was before his debut on the main roster.

I kinda was in the beginning after he first debuted, when they let him show a little more of his charisma and mic skills (i.e. getting pissy when people wouldn't pronounce his name correctly... FAN-DAN-GO.) Now, not so much.

The "no-compete" is something of a smoke screen.

It can't really be enforced unless you want to one day perform again in the WWE. That's why most guys take it seriously. Even if you're being released, there's still the possibility of being brought back to the WWE. But if you've flaunted their "no compete clause", Vince and Paul probably won't re-sign you. Since WWE is the de facto "major league" of pro wrestling, everybody wants a chance to come back, even if it's not in a wrestling role.

Yeah I figured but since the last time he had anything really to do that was big. The single word of Who? I thought would best represent my thoughts on the man.

Figured how you feel about JG by writing 'Who?'. That's how I feel, too.

UPDATE: As noted, Justin Gabriel quit WWE this past weekend, after signing with WWE in 2008.

Gabriel requested his release from WWE officials because he realized he was in a position where the company was not going to do anything else with him beyond Superstars, Main Event and NXT. Gabriel being pulled from the Royal Rumble main event may have been the last straw.

Gabriel wanted more than what WWE was giving him for his pro wrestling career and is looking forward to working the indies. Gabriel will be working as PJ Black from here on out.
