Note: I would really call myself a TNA fan these days before I would call myself a WWE fan.
But this pisses me off. TNA can't hold on to their prime talent.
Senshi
Tomko
Shelley Martinez
Gail Kim
Karen Angle
Christian Cage
These are 6 great TNA talents who have been released within recent times. I know I'm not on the inside, but these people are big deals in their own right. And from the outside, it seems that TNA let these people go with no fight, aside from Christian.
Tomko was made into a star in his time in TNA, a great muscle, but also proved that he could fight with the big guys. Now that it's proven, WWE wants him back, and rumor has it that he signed.
Karen Angle had the divorce surrounding her release, which I guess is ok. She is the only performer that has a good reason to be let go, although it's a shame to see her go. Honestly, I wouldn't be suprised to see WWE try and pick her up.
Gail Kim was the heart of TNA's Knockout's division, and she's gone. Dumb. Now I bet TNA goes and gets that other asian chick that was let go by the 'E and they make her a star too.
If you let Christian Cage go, you may as well give up. Cage was the reason I initially started watching TNA, and I was hooked. He's a great performer and he's consistent.
For God sakes, get rid of Scott Steiner. Get rid of Don West. Get rid of Rhaka Khan. Get rid of useless talent. Free up some dollars and roster spots on some new TNA grown talent. We don't need MORE WWE rejects, though the ones that were brought in did a great job for the most part.

Senshi - Asked for release. Unhappy
Tomko - Asked for release as it cut into his Japan time, lost Japan spot, now signed with WWE
Shelley Martinez - Wanted more money to stand beside the ring and to turn down a movie. TNA Refused
Gail Kim - COntract expired and WWE made her an offer she couldn't refuse
Christian Cage - See Gail Kim
TNA can't top WWE's price, if you're unhappy than you shouldn't be there, and if you don't have nay plans for them no since in paying big money (especially Karen Angle who got a big check just because of Kurt Angle), and Shelly Martinez is far from "prime talent" in a WRESTLING ring and she doesn't need more money to stand by the fricken ring.

Christian and Gail are the only things that will actually hurt them. The rest most people wont even realize are gone

Karen Angle is prime ass, not prime talent... there's a fundamental difference. Gail Kim, Senshi and Tomko could've been more, but they weren't needed. Christian is the only major loss TNA will suffer... his unique brand of charisma and humor will no doubt detract from the entertainment factor of TNA's main event scene. That is why they need to focus on building new main eventers now before the 90's names retire to there summer homes and all TNA has left is a bunch of veteran whipped, credibility drained no names.

A little crude with regard to Karen Angle, but overall dead on. Where someone could see Karen & Shelly as "prime talent" I have no idea. They're nice to look at. That's it. |

How does this have ANYTHING to do with Russo, Jackson? He's not in charge of the whole fricken company that would be Jeff Jarrett & Dixie Carter. The only thing Russo does it WRITE the shows. Russo can't fire anyone.
Also, a nice little fact: TNA has NEVER straight up fired anyone. They're contracts expired or they asked for their release.

I'm glad Karen is gone. Her talk show was awful.

Russo can't fire anyone. Agreed. As much as i dislike Russo, he gets the majority of the blame for things hes innocent of. |
