I never really saw much in him tbh. Won't really miss him. His character for Y2J could have been filled by anyone really.

This is really surprising and he is definately not the first person I would have thought of when it come to releases. Come on, he was in the middle of a huge push in which he cleanly pinned HBK and he gets released before the euqally if not more boring Snitsky. He must have done something backstage to deserve this, but I still see him knocking on TNA's doorstep.

I agree with someone above mentioning Bobby Lashly. Both where young and where going to be pushed into the Main Event.

Lashly last we saw was main eventing GAB 2007 with John Cena.
Cade last we saw was main eventing on raw with Jericho and HBK.

Both where gunning for the top but then wooooo I never liked him anyway.

^^Uhmmm WTF? Cade being in a Raw Main Event doesn't make him a 'Main Eventer' and 3 wins in 4 months isn't much of a ME push in my mind...

I for one expected this a while back, but after beating HBK I thought his supposed 'push' would actually start. Although no way to the Main Event.

well he might have bad mouthed Triple H :shifty:

Yes I didnt see that coming. But I guess, its time for other people to step up to be beside Jericho instead.

I wonder who's gonna be Jericho's new bodyguard type person...
Call me crazy as hell... But Bam Neely sounds like a good replacement for Cade's release anyways. Neely's not really doing shit at all except being stuck with Chavo so far.

Also I still wanna see why SP calls Bam Neely a god anyways

Wow, this is completely random. I have no clue why WWE would do this, Cade was starting to gain momentum and then they just fire him. Doesn't make much sense to me

In Jim Ross’ latest blog, he somewhat explains why Lance Cade was abruptly let go from WWE this week. According to Ross, it was a disciplinary measure following a bad case of judgment, with concluded with an incident on an airplane.

His release from the company was not due to his performance, most notably, in a tag match with DX on Raw a few weeks ago. Ross wrote: “The story that I have read on many internet sites about the reason for Cade’s sudden dismissal isn’t accurate. Many punhdits speculate that Cade was dismissed because of a bad performance in a recent TV bout against DX on Raw which is absolutely untrue. Lance’s dismissal had zero to do with his in ring performances or his lack of ability.â€￾ In case you missed it, there was a spot at the end of the match in which Shawn Michaels delivered the SuperKick to Cade. He was supposed to stand wobbly on his feet to run into a Pedigree from Triple H, but fell down instead. Audibly, Triple H told him to get up so he could deliver the move.

Ross doesn’t go into detail, only to note that Cade made a bad decision. Following Cade’s bad case of judgment, he ended up having a seizure on the plane, which required emergency medical care. Luckily for Cade, Lilian Garcia was on the same flight and helped him get taken to the hospital. Doctors performed a number of tests on him and determined that there was nothing seriously wrong with him.

Following the incident, Ross felt that WWE had no choice but to let Cade go. Ross appears to imply that the seizure was due to Cade’s “bad judgment.â€￾

Ross wrote: “Lance Cade was dismissed from the WWE because, like many humans, he made a major league mistake while utilizing bad judgment that cost him his job. This included Lance having a seizure on an airplane and having to have emergency medial care. Luckily, Lilian Garcia was on the same flight and was instrumental in helping Lance get taken to a hospital where a battery of tests were run that luckily determined that there was nothing seriously wrong with the young man such as a brain tumor, etc.

Everyone makes mistakes, Lord knows I have made plenty in my career, but in this day and time some mistakes just simply can’t be condoned. To some fans, Lance Cade will likely still be perceived as the victim in this matter and his punishment too harsh.

Under the circumstances of the situation, I don’t know what other decision the WWE could have made. I’m just relieved that it wasn’t me in my former role that would have had to address this matter. I really like this kid and hope that he continues to follow his dreams. Second chances are not foreign in the wrestling business so perhaps that could be in Lance’s future but that’s just a personal observation.â€￾

Ross also talks about Stacy Keibler in Maxim, Pacman Jones’ latest incident, SmackDown doing well in the ratings last week, Bobby Lashley’s upcoming MMA debut, and more. He also had this to say regarding “bad comedyâ€￾ on wrestling shows: “Is it just me or is there any thing worse on TV than seeing badly performed comedy on a wrestling show? I personally can deal with bad wrestling matches if the individuals are trying better than watching untrained wrestlers attempt to be comedic performers and fail.â€￾
