Back from January, when an article was posted stating that Chris Harris had been signed.

Good call, boys.
"Oooh! That justice system burn, don't it!"
Walker and Moore deserved to be laughed at, because they both left a company (TNA), that is probably the only company that would ever use them beyond jobbing. Chris Harris had multiple chances at being at the top of TNA, but as we see now, Storm was the better of the two.
Moore was being pushed for an X title run, and had the cool Prince of Punk gimmick, then the idiot leaves (force to leave the cool name behind as well), and ends up a jobber (once again) in WWE, and then released.
Did these guys do it for the money, the bigger market, or are they just dumb and don't love wrestling?
Chris Harris was being primed to be a main eventer in TNA, in my opinion. He was put in the King Of The Mountain Match at Slammiversary in 2007, and he had been in main event matches before (i.e. his brief feud with Jeff Jarrett in 2004 for the NWA Championship). To me, Harris was one of those guys in TNA who was akin to Edge in WWE, where it was just a matter of time before he broke the glass ceiling. Sure, his gimmick wasn't the best, but like that's ever stopped TNA, and besides, he could elicit a halfway decent response from the crowd in Orlando. I think Harris jumped the gun by going to the fed.
Yeah, you may be right. I think he need a slight make-over, perhaps simply just a haircut and new attire, because he came off as a bit generic. But next to AJ Styles, I think Harris was TNA's other baby boy.
The guy has talent, the proof is in all of his TNA stuff. I just don't understand why, 1. He left the only place that thought he could be a major player, and 2. Why did he show up to WWE overweight with an attire that basically said "I'm not even trying".
honestly, does anyone even give a fuck at this point?
me as a wrestling fan, I honestly never watched any wwe television since 2001, legit!
I keep track of things via wrestling shows such as tha o show and others but I never watched any wwe.
INDY WRESTLING IS WHERE IT'S AT!
IF WE CAN NURTURE IT AS FANS IT WILL MAKE THE "SPOTLIGHT" COME TO THE BOYS AND WRESTLING RATHER THAN THE BOYS TRYNA CHASE THE SPOTLIGHT..
Not only did Braden Walker's attire scream "I'm not trying", his in-ring "performance" spelled it out. He's not a good singles performer anyways, some guys are just meant for tag-teams and that's not a bad thing.
Look at James Storm, what's he doing? He's tagging! He's great at it and that's a good thing! Plus he has tons of charisma to compensate for Roode's lack (yeah i said it, just had to put that in there). AMW was the best tag team since the turn of the century and it never made good, clear since why they broke it up.
This whole "we've done everything we could as a tag-team" bullshit doesn't cut it. The Road Warriors done it all before '90 and they still drew years after.
The other releases are as justifiable as this one I believe. BDV sucked, Shannon Moore and Nunzio didn't have the size (there's only so much room for small guys), Domino doesn't have enough experience to make a quality jobber, and James Curtis is just vanilla. As far as Nick Patrick, he was never one of my favorite refs out there.
Any guesses on the next batch of releases?
Hardcore Holly (rumors)
Paul London
Charlie Haas
Chuck Palumbo
The Highlanders
Carlito
Jimmy Wang Yang
Kenny Dykstra
Colin Delaney
Stevie Richards
Boogeyman
All possibilities
I like Indy wrestling as much as the next wrestling fan, but sometimes it all starts to feel repetitive.
From Downtown's list...
As long as Holly as been with the company, something tells me he's there for life, at least I'd hope so, because I really don't want him to show up on TNA TV.
I hope London is released if he's just gonna run around in his tag team attire. London would be sweet in TNA, but I want him to become something in WWE. He should go back to his old attire from when he first joined WWE. I think he'd make a good IC champ if he was packaged as a wild high flyer.
Carlito, I haven't seen him on TV in a while, maybe he will be, but after WWE basically asking him not to leave when he wanted to, I think they don't want him gone. I'd like to see him in TNA as well, in LAX.
I'd also like to see Doane (Kenny) & Yang in TNA. Yang for the X Division or something, but Doane for the long term. Guy should change his ring name to Owen Doane, because he could really pass for Owen Hart's son.
From all I've heard Kenny Doane is too much of an asshole. His attitude is what's hurting him and either he doesn't have the skill, or hasn't showcased it enough to where his skills make up for his attitude. I don't think he'll be that big a loss. I can't think of too many that miss him.
Downtown's list is probably dead on, and Holly is reported to be on his way out because creative has nothing for him, and while Vince used to keep him around just cause, it doesn't appear as though that's the case this time.
If London pulls his future endeavors card he'll work some RoH since that's where he came from and his final RoH show was quite memorable. Dude can go, but in the E that doesn't equate to anything, and his backstage flubs haven't helped him in that aspect either.
Whoever guys, whyever they go, wherever they go I do want to wish all these guys the best in their future endeavors.
i hate stupid comments like " as a wrestling fan i havent watched wwe since forever indy wrestling is da best phluck wwe i dont watch it because im too cool!!"stfu why listen to that o show only to hear them talk about wwe?!!? what an idiot i swear.
i think shannon went back was to be with his friends. you know the sotires abotu backstage stuff being with your true friends and not worry as much is a good reason to go back.
kenny is doing mma when not workign so if all he ever wanted to do was that fuck him, i hate people who go into wrestlign for somethign else. im looking at you daniel puder. seriously your mma attire prooved that. p o s
