And yet Garrett and chavo are still around. Guess that Rampage and King Mo money had to come from somewhere.

Well I'll be damned, Dixie actually firing some people. Methinks Panda Energy finally taking some notice in the losses that company is giving enough for them to take control of the reigns. That and the fact that Spike TV is a couple of losses away from Viacom dropping and rebranding the channel.

Can't really argue with these cuts. I do quite like Rayne, but not sure outside of the BP she has been that useful, solid in ring, but has run out of options and needs a fresh start.

Crimson is gone wow

Didn't Hendrix like JUST debut? :lol:. Rayne is pretty much the only one I care about on that list and even then I honestly can't say i've even noticed she was around since the whole Her & Hebner crap

I would've kept Crimson and Joey Ryan and sacked Brooke Hogan instead because literally no-one wants to see her on TV apart from herself and her own dad.

These aren't huge loses. I'm surprised about Crimson, but i guess they don't need Morgan and Crimson on the roster. I kinda liked Crimson in TNA a bit. Ah well.

Crimson surprised me the most. Had a big push when he debuted and was undefeated for over a year, then he suffers his first loss on PPV and disappears for months. Then he returns and a few weeks later is fired. Strange way to use him. York was never going to be more than a bit player. Ryan had an interesting gimmick that could have added some spark to the X Division. Rayne will probably be back after her baby. Hendrix was a surprise but it has been reported that she was offered a new deal but rejected it. Bit gutless from TNA to only release new additions to the roster, too scared to actually release some of the deadweight that they have.

Doesn't say much for Gutcheck at all, should scrap the concept already since this firing streak has made it look pathetic.

Looking at their roster can someone please explain to me how SoCal Val managed to avoid being fired? What is her job role in TNA? Hemme covers ring announcing and Borash can do the backstage interviews so there is no reason for her to be on the roster. Hernandez has gone so far backwards since his LAX days and TNA should cut their loses with him. Jessie Godderz has shown nothing as a wrestler and will never draw money so fire him as well. I will be shocked if all the Aces & Eights guys still have contracts once that storyline is over. Surprised that TNA didn't release Xema Ion as well.

If they actually wanted to do some cost cutting than Bischoff, Hogan and Sting should have been on the list.

Dixie Carter tried to pretend that TNA was a family and didn't have the business sense to fire anybody and didn't her whole run. The only time they fired someone was when Mama Carterr came in, got me thinking same shit is going on.

The issue is that it now tells us not too watch Gut check didn't give those guys a chance to be successful I like York thought he was really good. I think it's TNA forgetting that many got caught by what the X division was doing.

I think there smarter choices the could make

TNA releases Tara & DOC

IMPACT WRESTLING
‏@IMPACTWRESTLING 1m
Impact Wrestling has released Tara. We thank Tara for all her contributions and wish her the best of success in the future.
A wwe Return Would Be Cool. Match/Feud with AJ And Nattie Would Be Great.

Surprising release given she's talented as hell and the KO division is thin as hell right now.

Not something I expected. Could see her back working with WWE in some sort of capacity even if it isn't on screen or something.

Definitely did not see this coming... but a return to WWE could be good. Possibly give her a better send off match then what they did.

re: TNA releases Tara & DOC

So anyone want to tell me how TNA's KO division is on the upswing again? Is she hurt? Can't wrestle anymore? I think not, terrible decision by TNA.

Shes not going to WWE either, they won't sign some old broad who didn't draw them money the first time. Lucky to get on a Trish Stratus dvd.

Performance Center got a new trainer, or NXT got a female regal
