Every Major WWE Black Wednesday Release Ranked From Least To Most Successful

9. Curt Hawkins

Like Heath and EC3, Curt Hawkins - now going by Brian Myers - wound up in IMPACT Wrestling after WWE saw no use for him. Although he first started off having tedious, short rivalries with just about anyone, he's since found his footing in the IMPACT Zone.

At the time of writing, 'The Most Professional Wrestler' will wrestle former tag partner Matt Cardona - more on him in just a moment - at the company's upcoming Rebellion pay-per-view on 25 April. The build to this has become fantastic, with Myers having wrestled Cardona's comrade Eddie Edwards in a brilliant Hold Harmless match at Sacrifice last month.

If only it had always been this way for the guy.

When he first came into IMPACT, Myers was facing the likes of Fallah Bahh, Crazzy Steve, and TJP for literally no reason. It didn't matter if the matches were of a decent quality (your writer remembers him vs. Steve being alright), all that mattered was that IMPACT didn't seem to have anything in mind for Myers long-term.

A successful podcast alongside Cardona - titled the Major Wrestling Figures podcast - produced outside of the ring also keeps the former Curt Hawkins relatively busy.
