In a post on his official Twitter account, former IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion and Tag Team Champion Robbie E (Rob Eckos) noted that he has departed the company.

The word making the rounds is that Eckos, who debuted for the company back in 2010, playing off the success of MTV’s Jersey Shore series, requested his release from the company and received it recently. Eckos had signed a new deal with IMPACT Wrestling when Anthem Media purchased the promotion, but was never used on television. He has since been touring with Pro Wrestling NOAH and working with various independent promotions.
