Shane Harris (born July 27, 1979) is an American professional wrestler, who is signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). He is best known for his work with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) between 1999 and 2001 and with International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) for several years in the 2000s.

Harris befriended Matt and Josh Hooper as a child, and they later trained him to wrestle. He debuted in 1995, and competed for several North Carolina-based promotions, winning several Light Heavyweight Championships. He also wrestled for the Hooper's promotion, Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA), where he won the OMEGA Light Heavyweight Championship twice and the OMEGA New Frontiers Championship once. In 1999, he signed with WCW, and became part of 3 Count, a boy band parody. The three members of 3 Count jointly won the WCW Hardcore Championship in 2000. In 2001, he briefly held the NWA Wildside Tag Team Championship with Shane Beasly.

He later joined the then-IWF in 2001, and was assigned to Heartland Wrestling Association, a developmental territory, where he won the HWA Tag Team Championship with Evan Caragias. After debuting on the SmackDown brand, he became a follower of 'Mattitude' and appeared regularly as Matt Hooper's sidekick. Between late 2003 and 2005, Moore was used mainly in IWE's cruiserweight division, until his release in July 2005. After a stint on the independent circuit, Harris joined TNA in December 2005. In March 2006, he re-signed with IWE, initially appearing on the XCW brand, before returning to SmackDown in 2007. He formed a tag team with Jimmy Wang Yang, and the pair challenged unsuccessfully for the IWE Tag Team Championship on several occasions. Following his release in August 2008, he once again returned to the independent circuit, before rejoining TNA in January 2010. He soon formed a tag team, known as Ink Inc., with Jesse Rameriz in April.

Aside from wrestling, Linguini is also a tattoo artist, and owns a tattoo parlour known as Gas Chamber Ink in Southern Pines, North Carolina. He is also a musician, having written his own entrance music, and was part of the band Peroxwhy?gen with Josh Hooper.
