Chris2K 176 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Palmer Canon flew himself home from the WWE's tour of Europe. Several wrestlers on the tour are saying that Canon gave his notice to the company, however, it has yet to be independently confirmed. It has been confirmed that Canon is heading back to Georgia, where he resides. Also, he left the tour on his own accord. Palmer Canon debuted on Smackdown last August as a representative of "The Network". Also, Canon trains and wrestles for Deep South Wrestling, WWE's Georgia-based territory. PWInsider. A departure that will send shockwaves through the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cenarules Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I wonder if that's why Palmer Cannon fought Funaki at a house show the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave7g Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 With such a top name like that making such a statement, you can't help but feel that Benoit and Angle will be right behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FreeSpirit Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Palmer Canon's been hardly used on Smackdown in the last few months, its hardly going to be a big loss to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yoyo Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 The number of post in this thread TRULY show that everyone will miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Yeah, but Yoyo, I think that's mostly down to the amount of people that are out mourning this loss. This is a huge loss to SmackDown! and the WWE in general. Cannon made such a huge impact. He brung in The Boogeyman, danced horribly at Survivor Series, and created the Juniors division, which in turn meant we would get the honor of watching FIT FINLAY beating up said Juniors. We'll miss you Palmer. :terminato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 His role did bring some great stuff thanks to the network's New Talent Inititive. I liked his annoying voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lagwagon Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I thought they relesed him a few months back. That tells you how much I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headshrinker 26 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 My favourite Palmer Canon moment is when someone wrote in to Sky's WWE fanzone and referred to him as 'Network executive Paul McKenna' :lol Look into my eyes, not around the eyes, into the eyes and.....sleep :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jimmy Redman Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Funny, from all I've heard of Brian Black, he wasnt that bad a wrestler. I'd be frustrated too if I were stuck as Palmer Canon for ages without being introduced as a wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rawiswar Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I never knew who this guy was lol, so he is actually a wrestler? But what did he actually do on SD, was he just an on-screen actor playing the representative of the network? Or did he actually make decisions back stage etc? All I remember of this guy on SD, is generally being quite annoying popping up from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrFill Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 If I was him, I'd be disillusioned as well - you're trained as a wrestler, yet you're stuck back-stage with Teddy all of the time, and the only time you're in the ring is with a suit on and mic in your hand. They could have employed an actor to do that role, rather than somebody who is ring-trained, and will get ring-rust if they don't keep active.
