So with TNA releasing so many people lately who do you think is next?
Sadly I see Miss Tessmacher (I love her but I see her going soon)
Rock-star Stud
Zema Ion
Sam Shaw
and Maybe ODB( I don't want her to go either but I see it)

I've heard that Bruce Prichard and D'Lo Brown may be on the way out. Apparently like they've done with talent, they've asked backstage staff to restructure their contracts. Prichard rejected the request, so he may be on the way out.

My brother does a Column for ringthedamnbell & told me TNA hired an ex-wwe TV producer as part of the shake up. Send the Bischoff Hogan offspring packing please... |

I would hate to see Zema Ion go. I really grew to enjoy him, after really disliking him out of the gate. I think there is tons of room for him in the X-Division.
My problem with TNA, is they have a lot of money wrapped up into a few top guys, and then in-house growth is pretty much non existent. I love that they are finally trying to put over guys like Sabin and Magnus, but there needs to be that next wave of guys. Right now, I'm only seeing Kenny King with any real long-term potential. I guess TNA feels like they can just cherry pick former WWE and Indy talent at will when they need to reload, which is a shame. It would have been nice to see them invest in Joey Ryan, Scorpio Sky, or even an older journeyman heel like Adam Pearce to freshen up the landscape. I have no problem with TNA working an almost territory booking style, but they do need to commit to at least a story arc with guys. Joey Ryan sort of got that and it did work pretty well, assuming you consider the payoff was BFG. I would say it's a sad day when guys can make more money on the Indy scene, than supposedly the second biggest promotion in the country.

Tes enjoys it there, so I doubt she goes. Zema probably won't either because of his health issues

They're getting rid of the people that they've built up on they're own. From a fan perspective this is pretty frustrating. I was actually behind Christian Yorke partially because of TNA booking him like a veteran underdog who's finally getting his comeuppance.. And Joey Ryan, taking a no to a yes on the gutcheck..only to be released from his contract? Matt Morgan? The DNA of TNA? Even Tara, while a WWE name for many years really came into her own in TNA in my opinion. What's the point of booking an undercard if TNA will show us these people are unimportant when they are off TV for a few weeks and get released?

He was too complacent with allowing contracts to run down, trying to get talents to get a pay reduction and give them an ultimatum. I wonder if he thought they'd take the offers because they were last minute and had no other offers on the table, with no guarantee of going elsewhere. Stupid business decisions. |

I follow TNA more for the knockouts so I'm kinda lost to everything else. Does anyone remember Lei'D Tapa? Who beat out Ivelisse for a contract?? She's still signed but not really an active Knockout but I'm pretty sure she'll get released. Unless they do something with her before the All-Knockout PPV I'd say her future isn't bright. Plus side, hoping that Ivelisse will make an impact since she's making a few appearance at the taped PPVs. But the Knockouts Division is dwindling...

She actually is doing very well down in development in OVW and yes she will be appearing at not only the knockouts ppv but other ones too..... |

No offense to Tapa, but her getting picked over Ivelisse is still the biggest GutCheck travesty in my eyes. GutCheck is a failed idea though and needs to just go away. TNA is afforded the ability to bring people in and out without actually having to explain it imo. Like why couldn't Adam Pearce just work a one-off match on Impact against someone like Jeff Hardy? Comes in as seemingly "local talent" but puts on a great match and helps put over a babyface. It's a squash match, only a quality and entertaining match and it helps a guy like Pearce get exposure. You can always bring him back if he gets over. TNA just needs to come to terms with the fact that they are now a half Indy company. When guys get paid by appearance and aren't under contract, you're an Indy. That's fine with me, but they should use it to their advantage. |
