Whoa, when did Shannon Moore turn into Josh Mathews?

Seriously, that is Mathews. OK, it's not really. That's genuinely Shannon on the right - he took that shot when hanging out with Sean Waltman last year, and it's one million miles away from the rocked up look he sported on WWE TV back during the 'PG' days.

Admittedly, Moore barely scraped into that era at all. He was released by WWE in August 2008, which is only a few months after the new child-friendly edicts came in. Still, he's here on merit, because that's an incredible image change for the guy.

Shannon was also known for looking metal as f*ck in TNA too, so it's not like he plumped for a new gimmick post-WWE. Most wrestling fans remember him looking like a member of some early-2000s band, not the suave chap on the right there.
