We have a bit of an update on the details behind the release of Andrew "Test" Martin, probably the most interesting story of the three major cutbacks
WWE made to their active roster this week.
The reason is because Test is still rehabbing from major neck surgery that when all is said and done will have kept him out of the ring for nearly a
year. Test still has six more months to go, and won't be able to work.
The man who informed Test of his release was JR's successor, Johnny Ace. Ace informed Test that for what he was being paid they could sign six
developmental talents, and that it was purely a financial decision made by Vince McMahon, and not him. This prompted Test to ask the question, "what
am I supposed to do for the six months I'm unable to work", Ace apparently replied something to the effect of, "well, I had hoped you had saved some
money".
Apparently, Ace told Test to give them a call when he's healthy to come back to work, to which Test replied "no thanks".
