Thank you everyone! I don't care about how unwatched and underappreciated 205 was. I busted my ass every single time I stepped foot in the ring doing whatever was asked of me with no questions asked. I can't wait to be that type of employee for someone else.

I was really enjoying what @TonyNese and I were doing as a tag team on 205. Every single time, we worked as hard as possible, despite the show not being highly positioned. That's what professionals do. And that's what we'll continue to do! https://t.co/zCgwr1oUJK

When 3.0 came in I had to contain myself from fanboying too hard. We rode to nearly every show together, laughed in the back together, ate macca’s together, played poker together. They will always be my favorite tag team. Whoever gets them next is lucky #EverRiseRules & 3.0 Rules pic.twitter.com/6tLvyahoYo

Tyler Breeze once busted my nose open in Madrid, Spain in front of 12,000 people
…and it's one of my favorite memories.

Opinion: I can understand why WWE has released a bunch of people like this after not really doing so for years, though it can be a lot to take. It is a shame for the wrestlers that they are being let go and hopefully all of them land on their feet. These releases can be quite devastating for the wrestlers and it is easy to see why so many other wrestlers are feeling the pain.
