It looks like Gunner wasn’t the only main roster talent to part ways with TNA Impact Wrestling this week.
Just 24 hours after the news broke that Gunner had parted ways with TNA, the news surfaced on Sunday that Samuel Shaw may be on the way out as well.
Shaw, who made his first appearance with TNA back in August of 2010, wrote on Twitter, “I can be an artist in any promotion.”
Shaw, who also spent a year in TNA’s Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental system before coming back as a regular character on television in 2013, also wrote on Sunday, “Time to explore new artistic ventures. Thanks to everyone at Impact Wrestling that helped maximize my talents.”
Whether or not Shaw was informed of his TNA release on Sunday, which happens to be the Father’s Day holiday, remains to be seen, although one would assume that the announcement of the release came earlier, and that he just made the news publc today. For that matter, Shaw may have personally requested to be released from the promotion.
We should have more information on this story on Monday afternoon.
Below are the tweets Shaw sent out on Tuesday, June 21, 2015:
