Baretta was signed to a developmental deal in 2008 and first appeared on the main roster of the company as one half of the Dudebusters with Caylen Croft.

After Croft was released from the company, Baretta moved into a low level singles run, most notably getting a surprise win over Drew McIntyre in 2011.

Baretta was forced out of the ring later that year with a torn biceps, leading to a "Where's Trent" joke online amongst WWE talents, including Zack Ryder's Youtube series. Even after he recovered, he was only used sparingly by WWE.

Baretta is already booked for Pro Wrestling Syndicate over Wrestlemania weekend in Metuchen, NJ, where he will be facing Sonjay Dutt. For more, visit www.ProWrestlingSyndicate.com.

WWE RELEASES UNDERWAY
By Mike Johnson on 2013-01-11 17:24:21 We have heard from multiple sources that WWE is about to release some talents. If and when we confirm names, we will have them here. Stay tuned.

Dwayne returns? young talent shown the door? coincidence? :punk2


edit: that was a joke btw don't turn this into a butthurt mark fest

So why exactly isnt Mason Ryan fired? He didnt have a TV match in like 15 months nor was used in any form, nor was injured. Are they possibly scared that if they fire him, that TNA might sign him and use him to his potential (if he has any) much like a Matt Morgan who was a joke in WWE but somewhat good in TNA?

TNA is only after ultra cheap talent thesedays. Trent Baretta could be a good addition to Ring of Honor or PWG. Same goes for Curt Hawkins. Bourne would return as a top name for ROH.

Hunico would head to AAA. Tensai and Yoshi Tatsu back to Japan. Tyson Kidd - when of good health - would probably go to NJPW and soon become one of the top 10 in-ring performers in the business. Primo and Epico back to Puerto Rico.

If they had the money, I can't imagine TNA would be interested in Michael McGillicutty, Ted DiBiase, Ezekiel Jackson and Mason Ryan. Bateman and JTG would maybe a gutcheck tryout. Jack Swagger is too expensive, but a feud with Kurt could redefine him.

TNA would open the cheque book for Mr Ryder, whether people think he's any good or not.

Buggy Nova comes back from eating disorder rehab and she's shit-canned. Truth be told I can't imagine the business, especially how the wwe uses women wrestlers as complete eye candy sex objects, would be a good career choice for somebody with body image issues.

I hope Trenty sticks in the business - he's a young guy and really talented.

As noted earlier here on the website, WWE performer Trent Barreta has been released today by the company. Baretta is already booked for PWS for WrestleMania weekend in Metuchen, NJ against Sonjay Dutt. It is also said that there may be more releases forthcoming. On WWE.com, Baretta's profile has been removed from the Superstars page. However, as of this writing, there has been no confirmation on the release by WWE. We're told more releases are coming but they may not happen tonight. We're working to confirm a second release right now. Stay tuned throughout the weekend.

So if there is a second about to happen, any calls on who this one will be?

maybe Trent can go to TNA, he'll be great in the x-division.

As for who else I think will be going...

Ted DiBiase.
Jack Swagger
Alex Riley
Evan Bourne
JTG
Michael McGillicutty[
Tensai
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder
Curt Hawkings

I see some not all of them being a big chance on the boot list (as much as I actually some of them)

Well, back to starving on the indies.

I am being dead serious when I say this, who is this guy?

Seriously, I don't know who he is.

I don't know why people are saying/hoping for Swagger or Riley to be released. Swagger is being repackaged as a face to feud with Cesaro, and once he debuts the IWC will fill buckets and buckets of semen.

Riley has potential to be a top face since he turned on Miz. The guy was green, and they sent him back to NXT where he got injured and underwent surgery. Once he's back, he'll be on TV again and be a pretty good midcard draw.

The only logical releases I see are:

Aksana
Yoshi Tatsu
Ezekial Jackson
Alicia Fox
Camacho
David Otunga
Michael McGuillicuty
Ted Dibiase
Curt Hawkins

Sadly I feel like they'll release Tensai, who I actually enjoy watching when he isn't getting jobbed out to Santino.

Swagger is being repackaged as a face tand once he debuts the IWC will be happy.

David Otunga
Ted Dibiase
I still think Ted DiBiase & David Otunga have a lot of potential. Otunga is green but you don't send talent that can talk, in this day & age, away. It's a lot easier to teach someone to work than it is to teach them to talk.

I'm also not sure how popular on-line Jack Swagger will be on his return. After all, the majority of internet fans do seem to favor heels. I do agree about Riley though.
