Let Go

 Longtime contributor and good friend of this blog, David scoured his extensive collection of photos taken at WWE & NXT events and put together this compilation of wrestlers that WWE let slip through their fingers. WWE doesn't usually tell us why they let a particular wrestler go and in many cases, it makes you wonder what they were thinking when they did. Here are some of the wrestlers who used to be on the roster of WWE/NXT. (Thanks for sharing your work with us, David!)

Post-WWE: Alex Riley

Last Friday, I did a throwback post featuring former WWE Superstar Alex Riley (real name Kevin Kiley, Jr.). Riley/Kiley is no longer a professional wrestler except when he has to play one in a TV series like Netflix's GLOW; he's now focused on an acting career in Hollywood. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how that works out for him. In the meantime, here are some post-WWE pics he's been uploading to social media.
