WWE Released: Eric Escobar

The start of a new year only means one thing... RELEASES are on the rise. Ever since his shortly-lived stint as a heel to his even shorter stint as a babyface, Eric Escobar has been a failed experiment from the beginning. Previously in FCW, Eric finally made his way into the main WWE roster by appearing at the Decade of SmackDown super show as the new arm candy of a returning Vickie Guerrero. His short months with the company was a regurgitation of Edge's two year story line with Vickie. The difference was, Edge is actually entertaining and can wrestle. I had foreseen that this day would come, and frankly he didn't make an impact.

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Smackdown superstar Eric Escobar as of Jan. 17, 2010. WWE wishes Eric all the best in his future endeavors.
