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!)

Rewind: Mikey Nicholls

Longtime contributor and good friend of this blog David dug through the extensive collection of photos he's taken at NXT events and emailed me this set of pics of Australian wrestler Mikey Nicholls (wrestling in NXT as Nick Miller). Watch Nicholls wrestle his former tag team partner Haste in this 2015 match. Thanks for the pics, David!

Back In Business

Good news for fans of Shane Thorn (aka Shane Haste) and Nick Miller (aka Mikey Nicholls). The Australian tag team are back on NXT. Shane has fully recovered from his injury and he and Nick/Mikey are back in action. They had their first match after a long absence a few days ago and our good friend and longtime contributor David was there to photograph it. Of the two, Shane has gotten more attention over the years on this blog, but I think that Nick/Mikey is starting to come out of his tag team partner's shadow. David says that Nick/Mikey has the most flawless skin and teeth in professional wrestling; I'll take his word for it. Here are some of the pics David took:

Thanks for the great pics, David. Here are some older pics of Nick/Mikey and Shane floating around on the internet.
