Andrew “Test” Martin may love wrestling, but his feelings for the WWE are clearly at the opposite end of the spectrum. Test’s MySpace page made it abundantly clear when he proclaimed, “free at last! I just asked for my release from wwe and got it!” The statement followed the WWE’s February 27, 2006 announcement that he had been released from his contract.

For some, this came as no surprise, following on the heels of Jim Ross’ recent confirmation that Test received a thirty day suspension for violating the WWE’s “Wellness Program.” Others speculated that his release was related to his involvement in a car crash last Friday night, although no one was injured and no charges have been filed.

While the WWE left out the detail’s of Test’s release in the two sentence send-off posted on their official site, Test happily confirmed that he had initiated the release and stated, “Sorry if I let any of you fans down but I needed to leave there for me.” Test’s MySpace blurb also revealed,

I still love wrestling, I always will but right now the WWE is not for me but no sour grapes I had some fun up until a month ago when the politics kicked in like they always do and at first ECW was so much fun, I can only imagine it when it was the real ecw but when Paul Heyman left ecw left with him..what was left of it.

Although Test will no longer be appearing on ECW, you can catch him in the new film Grindhouse premiering April 6, 2007. He appears in “Werewolf Women of the S.S.,” a fake trailer segment directed by Rob Zombie and featuring Nicolas Cage and, of course, Sheri Moon Zombie.
