More On D'Lo Brown's WWE Release - Headed To NWA-TNA Submitted by Matt Boone on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 at 2:51 PM EST
The following news is derived and re-written from the Torch Newsletter.
Wrestlers who WWE have been releasing recently haven't been prohibited from working for other promotions. Many expect D'Lo Brown will quickly jump to NWA-TNA upon becoming a free agent at the end of this month.
An interesting back-story relating to D'Lo's recent release from WWE, when Vince Russo left WWE for WCW, he touted D'Lo Brown one of the big superstars in the future of wrestling. D'Lo Brown then made a big scene about wanting to leave WWE when his contract expired so he could jump to WCW and said he looked forward to working with Vince Russo. Unfortunately, D'Lo wasn't aware that he had another year on his WWE contract and a clause that prohibited him from getting out of it early. He then found himself in heat with management which led to him being sent to OVW for a year before recently coming back to work on RAW.
Another interesting note is that Triple H was said to be high on D'Lo pretty recently, surprising many when they found out he was going to be released. WWE was holding announcer tryouts a while back, but HHH pulled D'Lo from contention and encouraged officials to use him as an in-ring talent on RAW instead.
