More details behind Orlando Jordan's sudden release Submitted by Stu Starrs on Friday, May 26, 2006 at 4:24 PM EST
As reported earlier, WWE superstar Orlando Jordan was released from his contract this afternoon.
Actions at this week's SmackDown taping were said to have alerted many that Jordan would be released soon. Although he was scheduled to wrestle Tatanka, Jordan was pulled from the show to attend a pre-show meeting and then removed from the building.
Jordan had recently been travelling on the road with an unauthorized person who was also allowed backstage for WWE events. This is said to have upset Vince McMahon and various other WWE officials.
