WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Austin Aries. WWE wishes Aries the best in all of his future endeavors.
More likely asked for and granted a release. Was hurt for most of his run. But dude had a Mania title match and was the voice of 205 Live. Hardly a wasted run.
seemed to be well liked by the brass from what I hear.
his wife's in NXT now too....maybe he wanted to stay home so he could spend more time with her and not on the road on a completely different schedule.

yeah, thought that was weird right after his fiancée (I think, don't believe they are married yet). But as you speculated, I'm sure it was him asking for it. Austin only does what makes him happy.

I think we're going to see this more and more as WWE continues to sign "indy" guys who have earned (and can still earn) plenty of money elsewhere. As deezy stated, it's not fair say that Aries was "buried" (isn't everybody who loses a match being buried these days?), but I think that injury kinda screwed him. By the time he was ready to return, 205 Live was all in on this long title run for Neville.
Either way, best of luck to Aries. It's always good when a guy who isn't happy in his current situation has options to still go make a good living.

I have to agree with the above and say I think injuries screwed him up more than anything else. It seemed whenever he got a bit of steam going he'd get hurt. The guy is also 39 and is probably hurting a lot these days. It's a shame he's gone but at least he can say he had a WWE run and he left on his terms.

I'm just glad I don't have to see that ugly ass jacket of his anymore.

One of my current favourite wrestlers. I wish that he would've been called up to the main roster at some point. Maybe he still will be if/when he comes back. Only real negative about the guy is his height and attitude, though I don't really think he has an attitude because you pretty much need to have some swagger if you're a small(er) man in a big man's game. Most guys Aries' size probably never reached the same heights he has, no pun intended.

Not sure why but I've never really bought in to him, whether as a heel (which is what he's best at) or a face. He was one of those guys that I'd happily skip passed every time he was on TV. I guess he just wasn't my cup of tea.

Aries is too small to ever be anything important in WWE.
Probably better for him to be on the indies or in TNA as opposed to slumming it on 205 Live.
