It looks like Shannon Moore worked the 1st week of Impact tapings tonight, but was not a part of the 2nd week. He was part of an 8 man tag and he did the job. So it looks like he had 1 more date left or something and did the job on the way out.

It's only Tuesday, bud.....  'WWE has come to terms on the release of Shannon Moore, Test and Chuck Palumbo. We wish them the best in all of their future endeavors once again.' When did they sign Test?  ? |

With the hiring of Moore, now more time can be devoted to those "wacky" Jeff Jarrett skits and more time for fossils like Sting and Steiner Those fossils are gonna get enough people to flip the channel and see the new guys as well. Shannon Moore was about as worthless a name as they could get. They better do something good with them because when I heard Steiner was back I wondered whether I'd ever be bothered watching TNA again, and looking around I don't think I'm alone. The Heavyweight division is ridiculous there, why bring in someone like Steiner? |

It takes time to build it up and they cant just show x division matches all night. Also Jarrett doesnt have the belt at the moment so it deserves a shot. Moore was still a waste of money. |

If Goldberg was reasonable cash wise I think he would already be there but my guess is if people want him bad enough we could see him. |

Dude, Shannon Moore was not that big a waste of money, because you know, he was not on a long term deal. Their are a lot of people that have deals that do less, and wrestle worse.

In this case he was non contract so not a horrible waste but he really wasnt a big time name for TNA. I also dont consider him in the same league as AJ Styles or most of those other guys. |

I suspected this when I saw how muscled up Shannon Moore was in his first TNA appearance. You don't get that muscled up to stay in TNA. But I haven't seen this on the WWE site, and they announced Palumbo right quick, so it might be a rumor still. I'm not a big Moore fan but think that he must see better opprtunites as a cruiserweight in the WWE gunning for Gregory Helms than in TNA's X division. There is an unexpected compliment to WWE's cruiserweight division somewhere in there.

tnaheadlines.com/board.php?id=board/headlines/144389536.htmlPretty sure it's positive now. I don't get why though, I mean Shannon had a direction(ish) in TNA where as in WWE he'll be squashed instantly, unless they give him a push with Matt. Also they've told Punk they don't like obscene tattoos, uhh look at Shannon. Shannon has also said such things in his journal as "I love working indys, you're not on a limited moveset and you can work your hours a whole lot better"

I guess it all comes down to the almighty dollar, you can bash Vince on myspace, or a shoot, but if he calls you'll be there in a heartbeat.

Despite the fact that the majority of the workers in his company are pulling down annual money in the 50k range. I realize the WWE can afford to pay people more than the indy circuit, but the vast majority of workers don't make the kind of bank that isn't attainable by anyone else. And without real benefits, insurance, or a union....It's really not that great a deal for lower mid card and under guys. |

I've known that about the WWE for some time now, just that if it's not that reason, then it's gotta come down to more exposure or something, I mean he didn't say no to them, maybe he was promised a Cruiserweight title run, who knows? Whatever it was, apparently to Shannon it was better than maineventing Impact. |

If your in the WWE generic tribal art style or something is the tattoos to get. |

WWE right about now will release and hire anyone they want, it's not like the old days with the big two. Where they would hold on to talent just so WCW wouldn't pick them up. WWE does like to piss TNA off as much as they can, but WWE feels they can let talent go as they please, and if they feel like they can use them again, they give them another chance.

I have seen net discussion that insists that if you're on WWE TV regularly, you're making about a quarter million, and you keep what's left after travel and expenses (including your own medical). Expenses are high, but that's why even name wrestlers share cars and hotel rooms, etc. Then people mentioned $80K as a typical WWE worker pay, and now $50K, which is less than the average high school teacher in a lot of places. Torrie Wilson's Cribs spread looked like it took more than $50K and even maybe more than $80K to keep up. $50K on constant travel just seems bankruptcy-inducing. |

Still, WWE does pay better, but the travel is more hectic than other companies that are regional or local.
