Kaval Released!

WWE has announced the release of Kaval (a/k/a Brandon Silvestry). To see the official notice, visit WWE.com.


:O

I gotta say unless it comes out that Kaval did something heinous backstage this is just about the most infuriating thing I've read in a while. They give the guy maybe 3 wins in his 4 month run and then they release him during the holidays? Real nice WWE.

Or maybe he wanted to leave?

Hmm. Maybe now that Gabe isn't around, ROH will take him back? They could sure use talent.

No ... No. I am lost for words. This is bullshit.

*MOVED*

- The word in WWE is that Kaval (known as Low Ki on the independents circuit) was released because the company didn't have any plans for him, and as such it was an amicable departure by the winner of NXT Season 2.

It's unlikely Kaval will be working for any nationally televised companies any time soon due to the typical 90 day no-compete clause.

The high flyer was signed by World Wrestling Entertainment in 2008 and spent a lot of time in WWE developemental before he was brought up to NXT.

I absolutely despise this reasoning, especially considering I can remember Rey Mysterio and someone else both pitched storyline ideas to get him signed in the first place.

Even if this isn't true, I can't imagine a reasoning that will satisfy me. Kaval was one of my favorite in WWE, this just sucks.

I totally agree with you. WWE dropped the ball on this one - like they did by letting MVP go. I don't watch too much wrestling these days but I did try to look out for stuff with Kaval as I was a fan of his in ROH and TNA. Like Hipp said, I'd really like to see a Low Ki return to ROH. He'd be wasted in TNA like before.

*bangs head against wall in frustration*

I agreed with what you stated until you said Kaval [Senshi at the time] was wasted within TNA.

The dude had some of the best X-Division bouts I can remember. One being against Chris Sabin at Bound For Glory. Senshi/Low Ki/Brandon Silvestry whatever was probably the only guy but AJ Styles that I could say was used well within TNA.

^^ Okay, I exagerated. He wasn't always wasted but in 07-08, he mostly just made up the numbers in the X-Division despite being one of the most talented guys on the roster. I expect it would be the same story if he went back there.

Yeah, I cannot really argue that but 03-06 I think he was used at his best weather it be the Asylum days within the X-Division where he feuded with Lynn and Styles, XXX days or his X-Division Championship run.

his last two years he was just there for spots.

WWE's loss is ROH's gain. Once again, Ring of Honor will take another major step by bringing back home one of its pioneers and another statement will be made as to why ROH is slowly becoming the true #2 promotion in the business.

Slowly?

I think ROH is on a pretty rapid pace at the moment.

Slowly compared to when Low-Ki was Gangsta Ki there, certainly. Him and Cide need to reform the Rottweilers and face WGTT.

I couldn't agree more with this post. I need to see another Cop Killa/Ghetto Stomp combo.

I'm trying to imagine how they broke the news to him.

WWE: Happy Holidays, Kaval!
Kaval: Happy Holidays.
WWE: You're fired.
Kaval: ...
WWE: Have a nice day! -leaves-

Kaval wanted out, Not WWE. It's all over the net. He could not stand the WWE Schedule and it was making him miserable.

Therefore, WWE did not drop the ball as much as I thought.

This is by far the dumbest idea WWE had to date.

Smackdown only has like 17-18 guys now. If it means more guys such as Chavo and Chris Masters getting TV time, I'm fine with that.

they parted on amicable terms, so I can see Kaval reappearing in the future. I just hope he keeps that ridiculous wet-suit of his if he goes to RoH, maybe Chikara.
