Test was there for a while, it's not like we're discussing Mordecai or Jamie Knoble. The situation that they put him in, and then left him in is just ridiculous. They should have at least fronted him 1/2 of his pay for the next six months to help him out. Whether or not he saved money isn't relevant to the fact that you drop a guy when he needs the help.

It is bullshit like this that cost Vince a lot in the mid-90's when all of his boys walked to WCW for the better pay and benefits. Sure, some of the guys milked the fact that WCW was paying them to sit at home while hurt - but other guys needed that, and it was a blessing for them, to keep their bills paid and their family fed. Hopefully TNA will smarten up, do what's right, and make WWE's loss their gain.

Keep it up Vince, if all of it falls right you might just help the competition.
Test was one of the few loyal guys to the WWE. Now htis is just me playing devil's advocate, but I think Test was a product of a WWE developemental system, wasn't he? If so, the WWE may feel like Test owes them for teaching him how to run the ropes, and giving him a few opportunities, and not the other way round.

I personally think it is a fairly stiff move by the WWE, not true to the "never leave a man behind" saying. Same goes for Billy Gunn, who just entered rehab. Billy has been in the WWE since 1993 or something of the like, and now the WWE's just sort of severed their ties with him. I hope Billy G lands on his feet and goes over to TNA. Same with Andrew Martin. I always thought these two guys were mainstays, and I could have seen both in a management role (possibly on the creative team or as road agents).
