Roderick Strong released from TNA Wrestling
Report by
TNA Wrestling News Staff

Roderick Strong is gone from TNA.

Roderick Strong is no longer on TNA's roster. Strong briefly returned to TNA's TV tapings two months ago after he served his 30-day suspension with the company along with Austin Aries. A decision was made to no longer bring him back.

TNA has also removed him from their "Roster" section.

I hope not, unless Aries goes with him because then they can't work together in ROH anymore.

I'm just kidding, I know who he is and I know he doesn't suck. TNA is stupid for letting him go, he had potential to be a main eventer.

Well he did mention earlier on throughout his suspension that he in fact made contact with the WWE in regards to negotiating a contract. However, it faded away since he had loyalties to keep in regards to his TNA contract...which now doesn't exist.

Still though, it can still happen...

The first went somewhere in between 20 - 30, the second around the upper 40's, and the third around the upper 50's. All of them were terrific and definitely must see stuff.

Please.  God.  No. 

I don't want to even think how much WWE would butcher him x_x.  No more innovative back breakers, that's for sure, no more of those lethal chops... and let's not even consider how the hell they'd try to book him. x_x

Bleh, it sucks that TNA got rid of him... it sucks how they treated him and Aries in general.  I've not seen them in RoH (well, one or two snippets here and there), but even from their brief showings with TNA I was very much impressed by them.  *sighs* Hire Steiner, fire Strong - Genius, TNA, simply genius -_-

I'm fairly certain Aires is long gone from TNA at this point.  He signed around the same time as Strong and hasn't been seen in TNA since they got suspended for not being tools.

I kinda figured he (and Aires) were gone when he was confirmed for ROH's UK Tour, which coincides with a TNA PPV.  Its a shame, though.  Strong is a lot better than he was treated in TNA.  Did he ever even score pin or submission in his run?  And god, Aires deserved a medal for what he was trying to do when they pulled the plug on him.

As for Strong in WWE, its definately not the place I'd prefer him to go, but I don't think he's entirely don't think he's entirely doomed.  However, his lack of mic skills is a major knock against him.  I think he and Gibson would be a terrific tag team that I'd rather see fired.  However, at the time the rumor about Strong in WWE, he was not being booked in Japan.  However, it appears that Dragon Gate is interested in bringing in all of the GenNext guys for tours.

It sucks TNA let him go. I was looking forward to seeing more of him. I wish him best in his future endeavors, and hopefully we see him back somewhere again.

Any match in this day and age that goes beyond 60 is ridiculous. Yes, including Aries/Dragon from Testing the Limit. I liked the match, but stretching it out to 75 really hurt it. After around the upper 50 mark, they were just killing time til the 75 mark. If it had ended at 50, it would've been a near 5 star classic.

I haven't seen that match, but if it's CM Punk from 2003 and Chris Hero ( the most overrated worker on the indie scene today, hands down), i wouldn't be surprised if they spent most of that match just killing time to stretch it out to 92, moreso than Aries/Dragon.

I agree with the over 60 is just getting boring. If you look at the several ironman matches most of thm are boring in middle as they mostly just exchange headlocks for 30 minutes but near the end the match starts to get good

that match wasn't anything special tho. quantity doesn't equal quality.

there have also been tag matches where it's 4 on 4 with elimination rules that have gone over 2 hours. i think it was in japw, chikara, or pwg. not sure.
