What an idiot. They are going to sit him on the shelf for his entire contract now and probably try to find some way to extend it out against his will.

He overplayed his hand. My first thought was that the guy was an idiot, but then I figured “Hey — maybe he knows he isn’t going to get released until the next wave, so by speaking up he builds his value in the fans’ minds, keeps himself off the road and healthy, etc.” If he quietly asked for it and got it, who the fuck cares? But now he’s kind of made an idea of himself.
The goal wasn’t to get out, it was to get over.
But now I’m already sick of the guy, so it probably isn’t a case of subliminally marketing himself to hardcores, but the guy actually being a short-sighted moron.
