In the wake of multiple talent releases from All Elite Wrestling, one talent affected by roster cuts has spoken of their exit from the company.
Taking to X/Twitter, Slim J commented on his contract release, posting the following:
“I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked for AEW. Unfortunately yesterday was no April fools joke. I appreciate @AriyaDaivari for always bringing my name up and believing in me. @CapriceColeman you always put me over. As did @WilliamBehrens Thank you
“Thank you to the fans that supported me. My gimmick was trash. I get that. I knew that. My work wasn't though. I worked my shoot job through both contracts with AEW. My role there was to act rich. I've always been far from that in real life. Promise that.
“All I wanted to do once I was signed. Was to get my wife and daughter out of the shit hole we live in. They're my everything by far.i failed. Does it mean I quit. Not at all. Mouths to feed and I'm broke asf. So I'm looking for a second, second job. Stop sleeping on me,” posted Slim J.
Slim J worked primarily on Ring of Honor TV, with the Trustbuster an ROH original having worked for the company from 2002 - 2004, and again from 2015 - 2018.
