Did anyone see on tonight's iMPACT that the TNA cameras pointed out Robbie from The Highlanders in the crowd? They put up his real name and WWE wrestler next to it. Robbie clearly didn't want to be on camera and tried hiding his face behind his hand.
Rumors are circulating that Shannon Moore and, get this, Chavo Guerrero were backstage at the tapings.
This goes against Vince McMahon's wishes, as he told the wrestlers to stay away from TNA during their time in Orlando.
I don't want to look too far into this, but I imagine you'll see Chavo drop the belt this Sunday, for sure.
In case you missed, WWE star Robbie McAllister was briefly shown in the audience during tonight's live edition of TNA iMPACT!.
Earlier in the day, he lined up with fans to get in the building. TNA found out he was in the audience when employees spotted him in the crowd. A graphic referred to him by his real name to prevent any issues that would arise by calling him by his trademarked WWE ring name.
Shortly after Robbie was shown on TV, he left the taping. WWE officials found out about this immediately and contacted him upset over the situation. I'm told he got a call and was told to leave. Talk about backstage heat?!?!?!
Backstage, the word is that TNA talent & staff are barred from visiting WWE talent at their hotel. This is the same hotel TNA talent usually stays it following the tapings. I guess they'll need to find a new place to stay tonight.
Chavo was visiting his uncle and kept backstage, as did Shannon. Robbie did a major faux paus though by letting himself appear on TNA tv. He has been sent home and is now off of WM24. Dumb move.

stupid move on his part. hes not all that valuable anyway to be honest. highlanders are pretty much a bathroom-break for the live audience.
Turns out that what TNA did by putting him on TV and getting him sent home did not go over well with the guys in TNA. It has been reported that they were angered and felt it was classless by TNA to do that.

Classless ? maybe . but I have to beleive that being able to show a worker from the rival company in your audiance was too irresitable of a chance to pass up > I ahve to admit that if I were a a TNA employee and I had a chance to show that a WWE worker had brought a ticket for a TNA wrestling event I don't think I would have been able to resist the temptation .
