PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE has released British developmental wrestler Hade Vansen. Vansen was signed in 2007 after a WWE Europe tour but missed most of 2008 due to injury.
There were plans for Vansen to be alligned with Kevin Fertig (Kevin Thorn) and FCW/WWE wrestler Black Pain, and a vignette was even run on Smackdown teasing the character. They were to feud with Undertaker in a Michael Hayes booking idea that was reportedly vetoed by Vince McMahaon.
