I figured with all the TNA folks up in here there would have been a thread already with people going off... but TNA is droppin these guys off at the curb.

Taylor Hendrix
Sam Shaw
Madison Rayne
And just now Christian York

More are expected to be released.

So what are the thoughts here?

Confirmed Releases
Madison Rayne
Taeler Hendrix
Christian York
Joey Ryan
Crimson
Matt Morgan
Tara
DOC
D'Lo Brown
Bruce Pritchard​

And York was even a Gut Check winner as were the others besides Rayne.

Christian York has been a flop, use to mark for him so hard when he was in ECW.

Madison is hot but they could hire any number of skanky airheads to take her place.

Can't fault them for any of these. Could probs cut their losses with Samoa Joe, whos never going to amount to anything.

But they just put him in the Main Event Mafia... I think... so it'd make sense to drop him. They do all kinds of stupid stuff.

And whoever Joey Ryan is... well he's gonna be in the unemployment line next week.

Meh, no big losses here. Only Maddie on that list was notable and she's up the duff so she was hardly going to be around any time soon.

Yeah, other than it making Gut Check look worthless (which we already knew), these were good cuts. I didn't mind York's matches, but that dude wasn't going to do anything, he had his chance. I won't miss any of these.

Well Crimson is gone now and they tried to make a pretty big deal out of him... I think. So that's kinda shocking.

I actually didn't mind Crimson, they just pushed him too fast for too long then when his streak was over he vanished.

Joey Ryan is not a surprise. He's barely been used for a while now, and he'll just end up no doubt going back to PWG.

I don't care about the releases of Christian York or Crimson. I hope Madison Rayne gets re-signed by TNA once she's given birth and is back in the ring.

Taylor Hendrix is a surprise, as she did well in her match with Mickie a few weeks back and I would've assumed she was going to be the next big babyface knockout. I wouldn't mind her getting signed to WWE and appearing on NXT, but there's enough Women there already.

I'm a little pissed off they didn't do more with Joey Ryan. Dude had a fun gimmick that I would have liked to have seen more of.

That 87% gimmick sure worked well for him 8D, At least he can come back to PWG and do nothing.

Well Sam Shaw... as of now is not released. But really... other than Rayne, York, and Crimson to an extent I dunno any of these guys and well... I wish them well in their future endeavors away from WWE.
