Surprised its not up here yet.
Apparently, Mathews was released from WWE earlier today. His picture is in the WWE.com alumni section. People are still reaching out to WWE for confirmation.
Sucks if true. Was a long time personality and I enjoyed him well enough.

I wouldn't be surprised if I saw him on ESPN alongside Grisham and Coachman. It honestly seems like a way better job, he wouldn't have to travel from show to show so I can see the interest already. Best of luck, even though I never liked him.

Its crazy to think he was probably one of (if not the) longest tenured tough enough alumni. He was with WWE from 2002-2014.
I find it strange that not one news outlet has picked up on this yet though. Still sucks if true.

I think he's way better than Cole. The announcing is terrible these days. This sucks.

I posted that he got released in the other thread where everyone was guessing who would get released about half an hour ago.
Guess I should have made a thread hah
No surprise with this release, but always sad to see someone lose his job. All the best Josh

He apparently became expendable after Renee Young and Byron Saxton were getting more TV time in recent months.

I'm actually surprised since he is the go to guy for pre and post shows. I don't think he will have any trouble getting another job, he's extremely talented.

I thought he was fine but I can see why he got fired. He just doesn't appeal to people or kids like Renee and others do.
