I'm sorry. I thought I read in Powerslam magazine that he was released in October 1996 after sitting on the shelf since the beginning of the year. Did he request his release or did they give him his walking papers.He didn't sit it out, he was released. He also wasn't inactive for 10 months. He was used regularly throughout 1995, eft in November 1995, and was wrestling in Japan and on the indies as early as February 96.
