Quote:WWE released NXT star Kassius Ohno, aka Chris Hero, who has worked in main event level positions for Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling NOAH, CHIKARA, IWA Mid-South and CZW, among other promotions all over the world, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

According to multiple sources, Ohno was released by WWE officials while waiting to begin training Friday morning at the Performance Center.

Ohno had just returned to WWE NXT after being held off of TV for some time. What will turn out to be his final appearance, a loss to The Wyatt Family's Luke Harper, aired this past Wednesday on NXT. He had been signed to WWE developmental in 2012.

The title of the thread says it all.
They dropped the ball BIG on this one.

That pisses me the FUCK off! They had no idea what kind of talent they had obviously..if Jim Ross were still involved that would not have happened..that man knew talent.

Does it really matter? Chris Hero is like mega talented, he can go to any company and star. He probably wouldn't have been a World Champion anyway, due to his relationship with HHH.

You're right.. Apparently he had heat with management anyway.. it's kind of good they released him other wise..they probably would have given him a spot in 3MB making it 4MB.. and have squash matches with Khali lol sad thing is something like that probably would have happened

They didn't like him because he was chubby...

That isn't the full story, Radio. He also had a poor work ethic, and barely did anything to improve his physical stature. Even when they asked him, and gave him time to do it.

a rant video from me will be coming tonight!

SUCK... MY... DICK!

Oh man.. Hero was actually talented.

I don't see what the big deal is. He could easily go to any other company and shine there. WWE frowns upon everyone that doesn't follow there protocol. Look at Alex Riley, Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison.

It's nothing much to lose a bit of weight and follow procedure, it's a company and you need to follow their rules. You need to remember the WWE stands for ''ENTERTAINMENT'' and not actual ''WRESTLING''. Chris Hero was given lots of time to change up, and it's obvious at this time that Hero didn't want to become a WWE superstar that bad...

should've never left ROH

that what pisses me off they say he has poor work ethic but yet the company allows some one to steal a finisher that is his then demand he change his because the person that did it is on the main roster, that what started Hero revolting against Triple H, yeah he needs muscle but he is not fat like Bray Wyatt but yet they don't complain about bray Wyatt because he is apart of the legacy movement in WWE because he is third generation wrestler.

I am glad he is gone from WWE but WWE is going to wish they kept him because he was good in NXT but there was rumors they weren't into him but they signed him to get cesaro to sign.

Honestly, I was never that thrilled with his performances on NXT. There are a ton of guys there who are more interesting and have spent less time in development.

I'll take PAC, Generico, or Graves on Raw over Hero. Plus I think that Edwards and Richards are on the way over so that would drop Hero down even further.

And yeah, Hero should have hit the gym for fuck's sake. If you ask me, it was Hero who dropped the ball on this. WWE will go on without him just fine while he ends up taking a giant step back. He had two years to squeak out something impressive while PAC and Sammi Zayn have been impressive within their first six months.

Bray Wyatt is fat but he still doesn't look like shit like Hero does. Hero's fat just makes him look lazy.

Some people always forget that there's a difference between entertainment and wrestling... WWE's main aspect is ENTERTAINMENT and Bray Wyatt is there not only because he's a good wrestler, but because he's entertaining and the character he plays doesn't require him to be in peak physical shape like a lot of the other WWE wrestlers... sure, Hero's a great wrestler but maybe he doesn't have the entertainment aspect. Just because you're a good wrestler doesn't mean you can be in the main event in the WWE

They have a lot of people that can't wrestle and aren't entertaining..but maybe that's just me lol

The WWE is a TV show guise.

Are you going to judge the actor who plays Heisenberg on his ability to make crystal meth in real life too?

Ya got me there...but just to be clear if he tried it he would probably be decent at it at least.

There might be a lot of people who to us aren't entertaining, but we need to remember WWE is still PG based programming and they're main targets are the families who find big men and midgets to be entertaining.
