[WWE] Juventud Released

Archive

The following has been placed on WWE.com:

World Wrestling Entertainment and Juventud have come to terms on a release from his contract. WWE wishes Juventud the best in all future endeavors.


The release was expected for awhile due to Juventud’s often out-of-control behavior. Juvi has always been known as a rebel and while he wasn’t as bad as in the past while with WWE, he was not a model employee. Juvi often did not listen to what the WWE road agents told him about his moves and style and did what he wanted to do in the ring. Many of his friends were disappointed to see him blow his shot in WWE, especially that he is older now. Super Crazy and Psicosis, fearing that his behavior would rub off on them, asked WWE management to be separated from him on air.

Most feel that Juvi’s behavior has cost him stardom as he was considered to be a far better wrestler than Rey Mysterio in the early 90s. In WCW, he became infamous after he danced naked in an Australia hotel hallway while high on drugs.

It appears that he had been warned by management several times about his behavior, so much that Psicosis and Super Crazy distanced themselves and refused to travel with him. What seemed to cause the release is that Juvi and Kid Kash went over their scheduled match time by several minutes on Tuesday’s Smackdown tapings.
