-- TNA officials have confirmed that Stevie Richards is joining the company. Richards is said to be close with Terry Taylor, the company's Director of Talent Relations.
Cryme Tyme member Shad Gaspard is said to be the on bubble, which could affect JTG's standing in the company if the company doesn't want to push him as a singles wrestler. Gaspard was originally slated to participate in the Royal Rumble match a few weeks ago, but officials pulled him as a message to improve.
John Laurinaitis, WWE's Senior Vice President of Talent Relations, recently had a face-to-face meeting with Gaspard specifically telling him the company was unhappy with his lack of progress. Gaspard has been training at the Florida Championship Wrestling school in between road trips.
Gaspard has always been slow when it comes to picking things up. While he's actually improved greatly, it is because he started out so slowly that he's now only below average. This is one of the reasons why he is never used in singles matches and his ring time is generally kept short in tag matches with JTG doing most of the work. Had it not been for the Cryme Tyme gimmick, it is unknown if Gaspard would have been called up to the main roster in the first place.
At tonight's TNA Impact taping in Orlando, Petey Williams lost a "loser leaves town" match. We can confirm that this will be Williams' last match for the company as he is being released for real.
We have also confirmed that Lance Hoyt/Rock is also done with TNA.
More TNA releases are expected, but have not yet been confirmed.[/

T.J Wilson debuted on ECW under the name Tyson Kidd, managed by Natalya. There had been talk of Natalya switching brands over the past few weeks and that turned out to be the case. This is also a big shot at DH Smith as he had gone and asked Vince personally to be a part of the 'Legacy' angle. This upset both T.J and Natalya and in the end they both were called up to the main roster faster than DH Smith was. That's actually quite funny in several backstage ways.
