Does anybody know what happened to Amazing Red? He used to be around a bit in TNA, and I really thought he would be part of the X Division around now. What happened?

From what I've heard, he sustained too many injuries and was forced into retirement. A shame.

I think he came back in 2006 for one match, and was promptly pummeled by Joe.
I liked him. He proved that you don't need a physique to be an amazing athlete.

I never saw enough of him but I remember a really great match he had with Low-Ki.

I thought he was alright. I would love to see him now in the X Division but, I always thought he looked like a chick though.

Red was just a spot monkey who's had a few good matches.

Slightly more talented than his cousins, but at times could be a train wreck. Given the right opponent, he could have some down and out great matches (Styles, Daniels, Ki).

I dug Red, since when I began watching TNA back on FSN (I had only seen like two of the weekly PPVs) He was one of the few X Division guys that stood out at the time.

Actually this question gets Crapped every few weeks it seems, and I think the official word is that Red can wrestle again and is actually doing so in indy feds now and then, but he is no longer the flippy king he oncce was, so it's a question whether he will continue wrestling at all or in front of a big audience again. |

His flippy style is all he really had, he's lost that and unless he bulks up soon, I doubt a guy who looks like he's 12 trying to do chain wrestling or power moves will get him very far,IMO.

A really small slim guy trying to mat wrestle is hard to buy. If he has enough fan retention he might get by as a character, but I tend to doubt it would last long. |

He might be able to build himself up as a striker, and maybe some safer style dives.
Then again maybe not. I'm just putting up suggestions.

You back off Shannon. Sure he looked like weird with his shaggy haired mohawk thing. But now that it's shaved and just a mohawk, he looks better than well ever. But yea Red does look 10. EDIT: What happened to Red now that he can't do flippy wippy stuff? |

Red had two I believe major knee injuries in the last couple years that really slowed him down I believe. He does what he did before. He just will be hurt again. He was a good slopfest wrestler but he knew nothing in basic wrestling moves. The last I saw him, he wrestled like a sloppy Rey Mysterio rippoff. He did a 619 moves and it looked bad. Mysterio was a lot smoother.

the only way red can be taken seriously is if he takes the liger route and bulk up.
