Tony Atlas released by WWE
Tony Atlas was released by WWE today, the company announced on its Web site.
Atlas was hilarious in his role as Abraham Washington’s guffawing sidekick on ECW, but with the cancellation of the show and the fact that Washington has been sent back to Florida Championship Wrestling, the writing was on the wall as far as his future in WWE.

He could have made a perfect "Virgil" for Ted Jr.

Remember the posedown on Tuesday Night Titans between Tony and Mr. Wondeful Paul Orndorff. Tony had it won until Wonderful came in and disrupted the set at Cafe Rene ( Goulet ). Then of course all hell broke loose.

If WWE is looking for another Virgil, the real one is still around somewhere. Heard he was teach math somewhere out east.

AGAIN?! NOOOOOO!!!
I had just gotten past the WWF releasing Saba Simba when he returned.
Wanna bet he just laughed it off when they told him?
