TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Ah, yet another thread of "how did he survive this long!". Where next for Crazy? Is he a welcome addition to the flailing X-Division? Is he what ROH is looking for? Is he done with wrestling?

The Thread Killer 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Judging from the looks of him lately, he probably got released for eating the entire buffet backstage during a show, leaving no food for anybody else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 from Rajah.com via WON: SmackDown wrestler Super Crazy (real name Francisco Pantoja Islas) reportedly quit the company at a show this past week. It came out of nowhere, and he was said to be unhappy with his status in the company. He's been been promised pushes a number of times, but they've never materialized. Senior Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis didn't take the news too well. Laurinaitis told Islas, "Do you know how many wrestlers in Mexico want to be here?" Islas was telling friends that despite his low-level position with the company, he was happy with the pay, but unhappy with his job. Should WWE release Islas, he is eligible to collect three months of pay without working due to the non-compete clause, but he's willing to waive it because he simply wants to wrestle to the best of his ability. If he waives the non-compete clause, he is still not able to go to TNA for 90 days, but that's probably not his goal anyway. In an update to this story, WWE released a statement on the company website this afternoon acknowledging his departure from the company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarKnight 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 I would be mad too if I was him, since they took another jobber like Funaki, and gave him a new gimmick and a win over one of their "stars" MVP, yet Crazy gets released. Its almost like Funaki took his place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Damn I didn't even know he was still in WWE. Just another solid talent wasted and let go. Well hey, at least the pay was good. Good Luck Super Crazy, hope something more along the lines of what you want comes along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Crazy has nobody to blame but himself. If he took care of himself physically he might have got a decent push considering the lack of Mexican wrestlers on the roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Crazy did let himself go because if you were watching the guy's ECW work in 1999-2000 he was a tremendous worker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 Crazy has nobody to blame but himself. If he took care of himself physically he might have got a decent push considering the lack of Mexican wrestlers on the roster. Super Crazy was never pushed correctly and he was taken off tv even when he didn't have a gut. He was the most over out of the three Mexicools and when that disbanded, WWE did really nothing with the guy. Sure they put him on tv for a few weeks to lose to people but he really was never given another decent push after the Mexicools. Which really sucks because Super Crazy is a really talented wrestler. The guy could have been really another Rey Mysterio for the company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 Crazy did let himself go because if you were watching the guy's ECW work in 1999-2000 he was a tremendous worker. Even if he could still be that guy, which I couldn't tell you either way, WWE does not want their talents to work that style of match at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohnobadboi 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 dude this one time I saw him and he wrestling likwe Chirs Masters. Ok. So Crazy does this moonsault that was nuts, but you know what? Spot omkneys aren't my thing. It sucks he got releasesd BUT he's no Kane, he's no Rey Rey, he's no Tazz. I did enjoy him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 Why not? Tajiri wrestled largely the same style and used the same spots in WWE that he used in ECW. It was mostly that Crazy had clearly lost a step and wasn't in good shape, and for a guy who has to have quick and exciting cruiser matches that's a major detriment.

Scroby 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 The thing about Tajiri's wrestling style is that it's slow and vicious but he can also mix in some speed and high risk as well. So overall Tajiri is someone who could work his style to a T and wouldn't have to really change it up for any one just because he knew how to balance it out to anyone's strength or weakness.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 Crazy'll probably be happier and more successful in Mexico. I assume AAA, from my limited knowledge of Mexican wrestling, is his natural next move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 Crazy'll probably be happier and more successful in Mexico. I assume AAA, from my limited knowledge of Mexican wrestling, is his natural next move. I believe he has a good relationship with Konnan and I know the MexiPowers lost Juvi recently after he had another one of his Juvi moments. He'll fit right in with them. If not then he goes to CMLL but I'd say AAA is his most likely destination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
