Enzo's twitter post after it broke was pretty funny. Just a "#HowYouDoin"

Big Cass has been released and WWE did not even wish him well in his future endeavors.

Depends what he does on the indy circuit. Appears that WWE would prefer those guys to get more time on the indy's, build their name up and come back.

Vader (Leon White) has passed away, his son tweeted from his account.

Vader was a great big man worker. His powerbomb looked like it could cripple someone. He had some good matches with Sting back in WCW. Never had a great run in WWF though sadly.

We can blame dadhole HBK for that.

Yup, Vader was one of the first athletic big men that could actually wrestle. Sad loss.

The Cactus Jack-Vader feud from WCW was frigging nasty. That said, everything I have heard about Leon White was that he's a great guy. A lot of people don't realize just how great of an athlete he was. He was very versatile in that respect. He should have been inducted.

Money cures all pains. If he remains a draw who is still good on the mic, but improves his wrestling - I could see him back because of the apparent merchandise he could move.

yeah, that's true. I'm sure they could bring in back as a Royal Rumble participant years from now and the place would go crazy for his intro.

He had the perfect role in the cruiserweight division. He could slide right back into that pretty easily.

I've seen Virgil in the Canonsburg/Houston area multiple times. Usually standing alone.
