Jerry Lynn, Brother Runt, Basham, Damaja, & Matt “Martyr” Bentley are done with TNA Wrestling. Jerry Lynn approached TNA management and asked for a release. The other men were told about their releases by Terry Taylor. Each of them will be welcomed back to the company in the future and booked on a per-show basis (without a longterm contract).
Out of the men released, Jerry Lynn and Matt Bentley have the best chance of getting picked up by WWE. Jerry Lynn has a history with the ECW brand and is a great worker, despite his age and size. Bentley is the nephew of Shawn Michaels, which certainly works in his favor. With the recent signing of Teddy Hart to a WWE developmental deal, it could be interesting to see the nephew of Shawn Michaels wrestle against the nephew of Bret Hart in a WWE ring.
In a related note, those 5 profiles have been removed from TNAWrestling.com and profiles for Black Reign (Dustin Runnels), Andrew Martin, Rick Steiner, Matt Morgan, & Pacman Jones have been added.
