Trent Barreta Released

[The Man They Call WMD]

Trent Barreta has been released from WWE, according to a report at PWInsider.com.

Barreta has been with WWE since 2008, when he signed a developmental deal. He wrestled on the SmackDown brand with Caylen Croft as part of the Dudebusters tag team. After Croft was released by WWE, Barreta had a brief singles run and was moved back down to developmental.

Several more releases are expected this weekend.

Waiting for someone to say this is a big loss....

 

[Uncle Sam]

Not a big loss, but a sad one nonetheless.

 

[TLC]

I liked the guy, sucky news.

 

[Da Prophet]

I thought he was already gone.

 

[Slash-LN]

Yeah it's not big but it does suck.
He and Curt Hawkins had a decent feud on Superstars a couple years back.
If they had invested time into them on a show like Smackdown well he'd be another Tyson Kidd. He still wouldn't get used enough despite having talent. They should have turned him or Hawkins and put them together as a tag team.
Oddly enough I just added him on WWE '13.

Trent's young. This definitely isn't it for him. Who was that guy who was signed to WWE for a long time in 2006, did nothing spectacular in a tag team despite showing developmental promise, subsequently faded into obscurity and got released? Then he got resigned sometime later and became Damien Sandow? Ah yes Idol Stevens.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

Had more potential than 99% of the guys not on television. Damn shame.

Must we also forget that HBK was released early in his career too?
