Anthony Henry and Slim J posted the following social media messages after being released by AEW on Monday.
The amount of support I am receiving during this very difficult time is amazing, and I appreciate all of it.
I don’t know what is next for me. I don’t know if wrestling is something I still want to pursue. I am devastated.
Regarsless, I am always a #workhorsemen

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.

Powell’s POV: Slim J wasn’t lying about his bad gimmick. Here’s wishing both wrestlers the best going forward. For those who missed it, AEW also released Stu Grayson, Dasha, Gravity, The Boys, Parker Boudreaux, Jora Johl, and Jose the Assistant on Monday.
Wow, Anthony Henry got cut when he’s only 2 weeks post surgery. What a scummy move by Khan. No wonder he’s considering not wrestling anymore.
LMAOOOOOO…dude, please keep up the “anytime something about AEW is posted I have to comment negatively to make myself feel better about myself” posts. I’ve never seen someone so pathetic that is so funny and so sad at the same time.
