Chavo Guerrero claims he asked for his release from WWE on Friday, prompting the company to make the announcement Saturday morning.

Guerrero posted late Friday on Twitter: "Guerrero's have always been rebels, so it's time for me to start being a Guerrero..Big news coming a bit later..stay tuned!"

After WWE announced his release Saturday, Guerrero posted a long take on his WWE tenure and being unhappy with his role as an enhancement talent. The following is Guerrero's Twitter-blog:

"Yes, it's true. My release is the big news I was talking about. But let's get something straight. I asked for my release. I was just tired of not being used correctly. Just cuz u can make other ppl look good, doesn't mean they should just have u lose to them.

"The same thing happened to Eddie. After being champ, they still had him working mid card status. Being a Guerrero, we've been taught since diapers to get the most out of ppl & matches. It's our gift, but also our curse. WWE has always used us to make other ppl look good.

"It all comes down to being happy. I was not happy in WWE anymore. I had a smile on my face last night though when I got my release though! :) now it's time for me to start being a Guerrero again, and start kicking ass again, be able to tell stories in the ring like u know we can. :) win or lose I will never go back to the place WWE put me in.

"I will never go back to being under utilized and watching ppl who suck get bigger "pushes" than me! Thank u to all of u who stuck by me & kept reminding me, I was better than that! :) stay tuned.. Big things coming!! Now I will Really be able to entertain u! :) like me or hate me, 1 thing I have always tried to do is entertain u and give u fans your $ worth. Even if My hands were tied most of the time. I love u all and can't wait for the future!! So happy. :)"

Guerrero paused and continued, "Hey, u guys have me trending World wide!! Thanks. I should of quit a long time ago! Lol. I know it may sound like it, but I've got no hard feelings toward the WWE. I've just been unhappy there for a long time & if you have watched the show, u will no why.

"I made a lot of money, but I'm better than just cashing a paycheck. I wish no hard feelings toward the WWE& Want to see them and all my friends there succeed! I love wrestling & want nothing but wrestling to get better & bigger. U fans deserve..Nothing but a great show and great stories& athleticism for staying so true to wrestling. It's in my blood & always will be. :) People asking what I'm gonna do now..I'm gonna stay home and be a Dad. :) going to watch my son's football practice now. :) Happy!"
