    World Wrestling Entertainment released Tyson Tomko within the last two weeks, so his second stint with the company ended before he ever returned to television.

    Being honest I forgot they signed him.

    I was talking to someone last night about a similar incident that took place a few years ago, but remember when WWE rehired 2 Cold Scorpio, did nothing with him for months, and then released him as well?

    And Tomko burned a few bridges in TNA and Japan before he went back aswell. We'll see are those bridges irreparable.

    He's a talented guy with good potential. He should be fine. I'd like to see him back in Japan.

    In his return dark match with Burchill he was supposedly useless and then the injury sealed the deal as far as the release was concerned

    If that was the reason why Tomko was fired, then I'd be very worried if i was Burchill, because he was equally rubbish for that match, and has been barely used since either.

    Didn't they do the same with D'Lo Brown as well. Rehired him, and released him before ever using him on TV.

    Tomko is something of an anomaly for me. Enjoyed some of his Japan and TNA work, hated all his WWE and a good portion of his TNA stuff.

    D'lo done some jobbing on Raw I think to Santino, so at least he got some telly time.

    To be fair, they brought D'Lo back on TV to no response because few knew who he was. Then he lost a match or two to Santino before being released.

    I was under the impression that Tomko had suffered an injury prior to working the dark match, which was why he was so out of shape and generally poor in his match. I think he'd even informed Mr Ace of this beforehand...

    Wouldn't it be ****ing easier if someone in talent relations watched a match or two of his prior to signing him, to see what he's capable of? Rather than sign someone, bench em, then fire them... well sure...

    I like Tomko. He did well in Japan and there was a period in TNA where he was the only credible face in the company. Of course, they ruined that quickly. I just want to see him wrestling again

    I'm fairly sure we'll see him in Japan again. If bridges were burnt, it won't be that big a deal. The economy in Japan has always been a bit of a see-saw. So they can make money from him in Japan (and vice versa), they will do so.

    can't stand the guy, this bit caught my eye in the link posted, it seems vince can't stand him either :D
    While Tomko was said to have gotten a good reaction from the live crowd in Pittsburgh, including a "Let's go Tomko" chant early, one person who wasn't a fan of his work is said to be Vince McMahon. According to several sources, Vince McMahon was unhappy with the match and questioned Tomko's signing at the time.

    vince should really stop letting johnny ace handle these signings

    There was a note in the Observer about this at the time, I forget the full details, but the deal with Vince was that he watched it without knowing how badly injured Tomko was at the time and then I think he got mad at Ace for signing an injured wrestler

    Sorry Fozzy, but if you "can't say" or provide a source. Then I can't leave it here.
    You know the charter backwards, and a source has to be provided.

    I actually quite enjoyed aul tomko in his TNA run and I admired the way he left WWE last time with the genuine intention of heading to Japan and improving himself (which all wrestlers should do at some stage of their careers, look at how good ted DiBiase is already, he toured NOAH several times before his WWE run). Hard to tell whats gone wrong for him, with his unique look he could have been something.
