Canyon came out earlier this year. Some have been skeptical saying its a gimmick to get his name into the spotlight. So what really.
I cant speak about Kanyon, but Orlando Jordan just could not get over. His 3-4 month reign as US champion went unnoticed. They even gave him like 9 rematches against Benoit on TV and he got smoked each and everytime. They were boring and predictable. In all fairness to him, he did everything they asked him. It just wasnt in the cards this time. You can blame alot of reasons for him being fired, gay is not one of them. He can always do something in Japan and step his game up. Its not unheard of to be rehired.
