WWE RELEASES FIVE TALENTS

By Mike Johnson on 2008-08-08 16:18:08

PWInsider.com can confirm World Wrestling Entertainment has released the following talents today:

James Curtis, who was seen most recently on this past Tuesday's episode of ECW on Sci Fi against Braden Walker (who was also dropped yesterday), has also wrestled under the name KC James.  His release would free him to revive his memorable Ohio Valley Wrestling tag team with "brother" Cassidy James/Riley on the independent circuit.

Domino, of the Deuce and Domino tag team, had not been utilized on the Smackdown brand since the team had split and Deuce was drafted to the Raw side for a planned makeover.  He had been with the company since January 2006 when the team was put together with Cherry in Ohio Valley Wrestling and brought up to the main roster in January 2007 before having a WWE Tag Team title run.

Shannon Moore, who had most recently worked the ECW and Smackdown brands as part of a tag team with Jimmy Wang Yang, has been released by WWE.  Moore returned to the company in 2006 following a brief run with TNA Wrestling.

Nunzio (aka Little Guido) was on the ECW roster, but rarely used outside of enhancement roles in recent months.  He had been with WWE since 2002 as a member of different version of the Full-Blooded Italians tag team.  Most recently, he had popped up during holiday-themed episodes in various costumes.

Referee Nick Patrick, on the Smackdown side, had not been used in months after undergoing back surgery.

There may be additional names as well.
