For anyone who hasn't heard, Shannon Moore is taking a break from wrestling. Is he leaving the company? No, not at all. Just a break. There, however, is talk that a few talents will be leaving in the coming months either for OVW or making a clean break with the company. Since there have been no names mentioned in any reports I have read or heard, I would guess that some of the undercard names are on the short list of those looking for work elsewhere. My impression is that doors will be left open to their return once a new show is launched, so that they will get the kind of exposure that will make working for TNA worth the effort.
Among the names, I am guessing will be Anthony Neese, Mark Haskins, and maybe Kid Kash. There HAS been talk that RVD may be parting with TNA once his contract runs out, which I believe to be in April, but as of yet, nothing is confirmed. The landscape is streamlining and TNA's roster has thinned to the point where they are using all but precious few performers week to week. I think the way things are being done is making people take notice of just how many people are being used. If you look on the WWE side of things, there are over a dozen performers who regularly ride the bench during both RAW AND Smackdown tapings.
What TNA is succeeding in doing is being consistent. Their rule right now is that everyone who appears on camera has a reason for being there.....some story thread they have a part to play in. Those on reserve aren't just riding the pine, they are also giving input to the brass hats who make the calls and write the storylines. To those who are still bringing the show, I thank you. To those who are looking for work elsewhere, I look forward to seeing you once more in the future.
