Chris Hero, who was released from WWE Developmental earlier this month, talked in-depth about his departure and his future in an interview with "Busted Open" satellite radio show.

Hero framed his departure as WWE not having plans for him at the moment, so they cut him to pursue other options.

"It’s really hard to pin point any one thing. I think it’s just a matter of they knew who I was, they knew what I presented, what I had to offer, I just don’t think they saw anything for me in the immediate future, they thought it would be best to let me go and let me do my own thing for a little a while," Hero said.

"I left on good terms, I’ve got so many good friends there, a lot of people that are in my corner, and a lot of people that have supported me through the years. Will I be back? Who knows? Maybe or maybe not. But it’s not something that I got fired and was told never to come back; it was nothing like that at all."

The often-talked-about issue for Hero was his conditioning. Hero addressed that topic and why he felt like it was not an issue for him because everyone knew going in that his body type is different than a typical WWE wrestler.

"I would say that the issue was less conditioning and more of an overall look. Anybody that has ever known me or been in the ring with me knows that I can wrestle all day and all night long. I don’t get tired, that’s not the issue. It’s more of a cosmetic issue and my body type is different," Hero said.

"I have gone from no muscle tone whatsoever to plumping up to three hundred pounds to cutting that off and becoming more toned and then cutting as much body fat as possible, so I have had my fluctuations and I’ve switched things around so I think that was more of a cosmetic look and my coaches or the powers-that-be were all very supportive."

As for his future, Hero noted he's booked up through the rest of 2013, he would like to wrestle in Europe and Japan in 2014, and he is not ruling out considering TNA if they make him an offer.

"If there was an interest with TNA, it is an offer that I would definitely entertain but I just want to set enough while the iron is hot and set the best landscape for my career and where I go," Hero said.

"I know everyone is happy to see me and it's cool: 'Hey, Chris Hero is back,' but I do realize that it’s not going to last forever so I am going to have to continue to evolve and bring something different to the table. It will be interesting to see on how this plays out with all of the different companies that I am working for in the next couple months."
