Scott D'Amore fired as TNA president

[Deadd2009]

And maybe Anthem isn't too thrilled to continually be looked at as inferior. Then we get that borderline miraculous TNA/WWE thing, where Jordynne Grace looked good for 60 seconds before she was just another person in the rumble who had no eliminations and got eliminated.

1. If they truly don't want to be looked at as inferior, then start going after big name talent to pad your roster. If you really wanna be up there with WWE and AEW then you put money into the company on the talent side and convince these guys that working for HHH or Tony Khan isnt the way to go. Don't book a guy like Mustafa Ali for 5 dates and then he goes elsewhere on his tour.

2. She was in the Rumble for 19 minutes and people knew who she was. I don't think she cared if she got to eliminate anyone, just the exposure alone to her and her brand was more than enough.

You honestly think HHH is gonna have an outsider come in and eliminate multiple people?

Yea... Anthem is just pissy about Scott not praising them in all the passionate promos he held. How dare he praising the fans who stuck with the company through thin and thick and the talent in the locker room who kept working through the darkest of times for the company to entertain YOUR FUCKING TARGET AUDIENCE.

Well I actually don't believe this at all lol

I think the company is probably just not doing well and needed to cut some losses hence the consolidation.

Purely speculation on my part tho...just an observation based on what products I have seen from them outside of TNA I'd be kinda surprised if profitable

 

[Chris]

But I mean obviously all the corporate speak to me just translates to he wasn't making enough money. They'll make less money now but that'll be someone else's fault so oh well

 

[Canadian Dragon]

The company goes from a place wrestlers take pay cuts to stay at because they love it so much to one where they're already trying to figure out how to get out of their contracts in one day. I don't give a shit if he didn't meet Anthem's vision, I don't own a stake in the company. I give a shit about the wrestling product I liked

Amen brother.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Fuck corporations n their word salad bullshit. Without Scott they'd be even more in the red. Ain't nobody should be defending thus crap , corjs don't need ppl handwaving their greed and incompetence

 

[Canadian Dragon]

If they want to succeed they have to spend more not less, n pushing talent n fans away isn't how u make more money either. K I'm out gnight

You're probably right, but who knows... I mean the fact the new president is immediately talking about upping the resources like production and all that kinda point in a different direction, imo. ...and I get he had to say something, but yea. That wouldn't really add up completely.

Anthem can’t get TNA on a channel that anybody actually receives and somehow they’re not to blame for the fact that nobody fucking pays to see TNA?

Gotta love the blame game.

This brings me back to what I mentioned earlier though because if TNA wasn’t where they wanted it to be, why do they promote him in March? I think there’s more to this then they’re letting on and I think part of it is because they didn’t like the way, he did certain things.

What sucks is so many people probably paid the year for TNA+. But hopefully the people who didn’t, cancel and if they have a reason for box, they let it be known this is exactly why.

That would be nice... even though no one at Anthem will read that, I'm sure.

 

[Deadd2009]

I dont think people cancelling TNA+ is going to reverse course, sadly

It's less about reversing course and more about sending a message.

 

[Death By Looch]

I mean you never know... if the backlash ends up being ginormous...

I know the chance would be slim to none, but as we always like to say, never say never.

I'm still in shock honestly
