Always been a fan of his, but this is sorta out of the blue.

Best of luck in your future endeavours, man.

Cody Rhodes had so much more to offer, but was stuck with some lame ass Goldust gimmick

Strikes me as the type who wouldn't go to ROH/the indies afterwards, probably burned out on it all.

Usually people who want to be released, are the ones who want a better wrestling career.

Cody Rhodes has asked for, and been granted his release per his own twitter account.
Wow! I didn't see this coming. It's too bad because Rhodes is a very talented worker. Hell, I even liked the Stardust gimmick, but it's like the writers got sick of it.

Cody doesn't like wrestling outside of the WWE (his own words apparently). He has an interest in acting and working in comic books tho

I sensed the announcers were gonna get cut. 50 announcers was ridiculous and bound to lead to nothing but a release.

This could mean just about nothing. But Brandi Runnels (Cody's wife Eden who does ring announcing on Smackdown) has removed her job title (Smackdown ring announcer) from her twitter and other social media description.

Could mean nothing, but could be a sign that she as well is not long for the company. Or she got released and Cody walked in solidarity who knows?

No more super-hotness? That's a real shame. It would explain Cody wanting his release, though.

Is his show good? He actually sounds great. How was he so horrible as the TNA color commentator?
