Former WWE star Gregory “Hurricane” Shane Helms commented on today’s WWE releases with the following on Twitter:

To newly released talents, embrace your freedom. The Indy scene is on FIRE and is in fact home to the best wrestling in the world. — Gregory Shane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) June 12, 2014

The WWE is the biggest “stage” for pro wrestling but the “best” wrestling I’ve seen in the last years has been on the Indy’s. Good luck!! — Gregory Shane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) June 12, 2014

My point being, I know some of the guys might be a little scared and depressed but rest assured there’s life after WWE, I promise you. — Gregory Shane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) June 12, 2014

And that’s NOT a knock on WWE at all. But WWE is just one wrestling company, there’s plenty of other great wrestling out there. — Gregory Shane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) June 12, 2014
