California independent talent Willie Mack, who was about to start with WWE NXT, has been released by WWE before he ever started with WWE developmental, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
Mack, a regular with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Championship Wrestling Hollywood, is a really talented performer with tremendous charisma. He received an extremely emotional farewell at the PWG Battle of Los Angeles event.

Wellness?

Alternatively, Vince sees him and then is told his gimmick isn't going to be a dancing fat man gimmick and just fires him outright

This seems particularly surreal, him signing was one the cards/agreed for ages, seems like an odd decision.

was it ever made offical that he signed? & how long has he actually been around the developmental set up/Performance Center?

No. He was set to report mid September.

Yeah, that sucks. Feel really bad for him especially since I'm guessing he's hardly making Steen/Generico type money on the indies.

Isn't he still booked for indie dates? I thought he was working until the end of the month.

Sucks to hear though, Willie was one of the reasons I got back into PWG.

The following statement was issued to PWInsider.com this afternoon regarding Willie Mack's release from WWE developmental:

Hollywood, CA (October 13, 2014) - Today news of WWE's release of Willie McClinton, Jr. (Willie Mack) has spread through out the pro wrestling world.

quote:

The following is an official statement from McClinton: "I would like to thank everyone for their support during the past few months. It is true that I was scheduled to report to the WWE Performance Center later this year and it is true that they have chosen not to employ me at this time. Although I am disappointed that I will not be headed to Florida, I am proud of the fact that I was on their radar to begin with and was offered the opportunity, and I look forward to future opportunities with the WWE. In the mean time, I will continue my working relationships with Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, AWS, Pro Wrestling Revolution, Future Stars of Wrestling, Lucha VaVoom, All Pro Wrestling, PWG and the numerous international promotions I have worked with over the years."

For booking inquires please contact McClinton at williethejuggalo2000@yahoo.com.

So there you go.

Aww, I don't follow the indie scene that much so I only heard of the guy when they announced he'd been hired, and he looked pretty awesome. I'm also watching BOLA right now, so it's gonna be awkward when/if I hit his farewell speech.

Going back to what I said several weeks ago. WWE emailed this image out to the Wrestling media yesterday:



The Subject was "A Special Message From Triple H"

With "the future is bright" in the body of the email.

I really like that he has a pretty decent rotation of tights. Too many dudes are content with having one set of ring gear with no variation.

I'm guessing it's because his debut as Finn Balor hasn't aired yet.

I imagine it's because Devitt hasn't 'officially' debuted on NXT yet.

KENTA is listed as Hideo Itami so yeah it's because those two haven't debuted.

I love how much NXT is getting pushed, and I hope to god that it just means we get awesome NXT wrestling regardless of what happens on the main shows. let that burn itself to the ground if it means an awesome weekly one-hour show.
