Mike Kanellis Requests WWE Release (Again)

Sounds like Kanellis has had enough cuckery to last him a career.

WWE's foremost victim of cuckolding, Mike Kanellis, has requested his release from the company for the second time this year.

The 205 Live wrestler hit Twitter with an honest, earnest statement yesterday, taking the Luke Harper/Tye Dillinger approach by trying to play to WWE's better nature. For his sake, here's hoping Kanellis' outcome is more Dillinger than Harper.

Mike's statement begins with him thanking everyone in the company who has ever helped him, though he states that at 34 years old, "working 1 day a week is just not going to cut it for me." He adds that he joined WWE "to work, and that opportunity does not exist right now," and that while he thought re-signing in June would be best for his family, bringing his "work frustrations and misery home" most certainly isn't.

Mike and wife Maria had their original release requests turned down in January, though Maria denied this. The duo have since become embroiled in a critically-panned cucking storyline, and with Mike emasculated almost every single time he makes television, it's no wonder that his eyes are elsewhere.

Whether or not WWE will grant this request remains to be seen.
