[Breaking News] 15 Legends Released From LCW

As first announced yesterday on LCW's official Twitter account (twitter.com/lcwrestling), today has turned out to be a "Black Friday" as several LCW Legends were informed that they were being released from the LCW Legends contracts today. The following Legends have been released:

- Corporal Kirchner
- Boris Zhukov
- Brian Blair
- Jim Brunzell
- Killer Khan
- Ivan Putski
- Jack Brisco
- Rocky Johnson
- Pat Tanaka
- Akio Sato
- Dark Journey
- Billy Jack Haynes
- Dan Spivey
- Jim Neidhart
- Buddy Landel

These releases were believed to be the result of cost cutting measures on the part of the Board of Directors as well as a general lack of creative for the already bloated talent roster. It is believed that with the new format changes coming in September when LCW Showdown returns, there's just not enough spots on the roster anymore and these are the first casualties. There's no word if there will be further releases or not in the future. While the Legends are enjoying their hiatus, many are said to be nervous that they won't be returning in September. It is important to note that any of these Legends could return at anytime and with the LCW Survival Project, the 50-man gauntlet tournament, coming in September, it's highly likely that they'll at least be featured at that event.
