Jim Ross has posted his latest blog entry, giving some details on the release of Lance Cade this week. You can read the full blog by clicking here. Here's the passage on Cade from the blog:
As many of you know, Lance Cade was abruptly released from his
contract this week much to the surprise of many of us. I have always
thought that Cade had a wealth of physical potential and he was always
a polite young man in my dealings with him. Like many fans, I too did my
share of arm chair quarterbacking as to why Cade was not featured in a
more prominent role on WWE TV programming. However it seemed that in the past
several weeks those issues were being addressed even to the point of Cade
defeating HBK on a recent Monday Night Raw.
The story that I have read on many internet sites about the reason
for Cade's sudden dismissal isn't accurate. Many pundits speculate that Cade was
dismissed because of a bad performance in a recent TV bout against DX on Raw
which is absolutely untrue. Lance's dismissal had zero to do with his in ring
performances or his lack of ability.
Lance Cade was dismissed from the WWE because, like many humans, he made
a major league mistake while utilizing bad judgment that cost him his
job. This included Lance having a seizure on an airplane and having to have
emergency medial care. Luckily, Lilian Garcia was on the same flight and
was instrumental in helping Lance get taken to a hospital where a
battery of tests were run that luckily determined that there was nothing
seriously wrong with the young man such as a brain tumor, etc.
Everyone makes mistakes, Lord knows I have made plenty in my career,
but in this day and time some mistakes just simply can't be condoned. To some
fans, Lance Cade will likely still be perceived as the victim in this
matter and his punishment too harsh.
Under the circumstances of the situation, I don't know what other
decision the WWE could have made. I'm just relieved that it wasn't me in my former role that
would have had to address this matter. I really like this kid and hope
that he continues to follow his dreams. Second chances are not foreign in
the wrestling business so perhaps that could be in Lance's future but that's
just a personal observation.
Lance Cade is a talented young man whose best days should be ahead of
him and I wish him nothing but success. Lance has been knocked down and now
it is up to him to get off the canvas and get back in the game. I'm damn sure
pulling for him.
Let's hope Lance's peers are paying attention to this situation.
Ross talks about this week's TV tapings in Las Vegas, Bobby Lashley and
numerous other topics in today's blog, which I highly recommend checking
