Wonder if Devon will be back within a couple of months again like last time? Doubt it and I think it was time that he finished as an on screen performer, getting on in age and wasn't really adding that much to the product. He has his wrestling school to work with anyway.

SoCal Val finally fired, it is ridiculous that she was with TNA for 9 years! I shouldn't be too happy to see someone fired but come on she did nothing at all for TNA and was a waste of money. The only thing I can remember about her as an on screen performer is when TNA tried to recreate the Savage/Elizabeth storyline with her and Lethal.

Still plenty of dead weight that TNA should fire.

How on earth did So Cal Val manage to get away with 9 years at TNA :lmao. She hasn't even done anything even remotely worthwhile since the Jay Lethal stuff and that was what? 5 years ago? Amazing

I'm sure SoCal Val is CHEAP.

D-Von has been terrible as a singles competitor so I'm glad they cut him from the roster.

So forgot SoCal Val was even a thing.

Kinda' surprised to see Devon gone, but I think it's a good release. He was adding nothing and wasn't fun to watch, not like he had anything to really offer outside of teaming with Bully, not like the other old guys people complain that TNA has.

Devon is a headscratcher, if you wanted new guys from OVW to be worth a shit, you have Devon there training them since Al Snow has a full plate right now. TNA is still more than what can you do on camera and Devon would've been more useful behind the scenes than most of everyone on that roster who make high figures every appearance on camera. Sure he'll be fine though, can see WWE hiring him at the big training centre.

I read that Devon was retiring from in ring, and becoming a backstage agent for TNA. Sounds like the best move he can do, honestly. The more people back there that have a solid wrestling background, the better.

I'd watch TNA if Jables was their champ.

But he's not a d-lister......He's a solid B+.

Gary Busey would make for a great TNA Champion.

Finally two releases I agree with, but I do see Devon being useful in a training role.

He has his own wrestling school with Bubba so he might be focussing on that. Maybe they could start using that as a developmental league as well as OVW.

If he was wrestling as Nacho Libre I would watch.

Who has come of the Team 3Ds School that is any good? I mean that Jesse Neal guy was painful to watch. I don't know if I want D-Von to pump more folks like that out.
