damn they put him through the ringer before letting him go. But he had a good run and will be able to make a living as former WWE STAR James Ellsworth
Ellsworth runs his own promotion. He's set for life after the rub he's getting from WWE.

I feel that Cody is a special case given name recognition, being extremely underutilized, being a somewhat major name to hit the Indies and aligning himself with the Bullet Club has done a lot to make this happen. I'm sure coming out of the WWE being a fan favorite to the Indy scene plays a lot to the success.

There is a difference in being a major talent and milking and not helping the Indy scene on the business end and actually helping with the business side. Cody is a part doing the latter.

Ryback has been gone from the WWE for over a year and I haven't heard one thing about him. Sadly the WWE is it. The Hardy's, Mickie James and Shelton Benjamin after being gone for 7 years couldn't wait to get back. Will Cody five years from now still speak on how great the indies are or at 37 be looking to make his return to the WWE to be great on the biggest stage there is.
 
With NJPW entering the American market with ROH, Cody is safely in the #1 company in Japan and #2 promotion in the U.S. (champion) Alot of guys would love that spot without that crazy WWE schedule.

While what you are saying is true, like I mention, Cody is a unique talent with what separates him different from the other names mentioned. And with the WWE, you can't foresee who will be there 2 to 3 years from now. Especially when it comes to who they want to be the top guys. How Cody can negotiate his return makes all the difference.. If anything Cody could make even more if and when he comes back.

David Otunga & Jennifer Hudson Split, Restraining Order Filed Against Otunga

David Otunga and Jennifer Hudson have split up. The split was revealed on Thursday night after Hudson requested a restraining order against her ex-fiance, per People. The couple have been dating for nearly ten years and were engaged to be married in 2008, but had not yet tied the knot at the time of the split.

A rep for Hudson told People, “They have been in the process of ending their relationship for a number of months. Today, Jennifer requested and received a protective order against her ex-fiancé. Jennifer’s actions are solely taken in the best interest of their son.”

The statement does not accuse Otunga of being abusive. Otunga’s lawyer told TMZ, “David Otunga has been trying to negotiate the terms of an amicable parenting agreement with Ms. Hudson for several weeks now. However, when it became apparent to Ms. Hudson that Mr. Otunga would be the parent granted residential care of the child, as a result of Mr. Otunga being the child’s primary caregiver while Ms. Hudson pursues her career all over the world, Ms. Hudson decided to file a meritless Petition for Order of Protection in an effort to gain an unfair advantage in the custody dispute. As a result of Mr. Otunga’s career in the WWE, Ms. Hudson felt that she could give an award winning performance in court to portray herself as the victim. Mr. Otunga has never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son.”

The couple’s son, David Daniel Otunga Jr., was born in August of 2009.

Wander what the story is here. Haven't seen them together in forever.
 
That last SS match was a complete joke... so much for putting over the younger talent, however the Lesnar/Styles match was great.

Well they put Braun over. He's actually their youngest guy in that match. It's just bull shit that Triple H is still doing Triple H things. Overall were probably get a HHH vs Angel match at the Rumble and Jordan turns on Angle setting up Angle vs Jordan at Mania.
