Looks like D'Amore put together financing to try to buy TNA from Anthem, got rebuffed and knew it was a matter of time for him. https://twitter.com/WrestlingNewsCo/status/1755660912659493161

If true, I can see why Anthem canned him - they didn’t want a hostile takeover of the company.

was scott booking tna too or just running it?

Both. I think maybe Gail and Dreamer occasionally stepped in but pretty sure D'Amore did most of it.

It was D'Amore, Gail, Dreamer and RD Evans.

TNA's creative was being run by Gail Kim, Tommy Dreamer, Sign Guy Dudley & the Wrestlecrap guy? EDIT: No, not quite. RD Evans is Archibald Peck, RD Reynolds is Wrestlecrap guy. That's slightly less funny.

I believe Lance Storm is an agent too. But yeah, they should maybe have worked out something to keep this quiet or keep D'amore on through the Windsor tapings at least, cuz that could be rough with the live crowd.

The bit about Cicone is encouraging if nothing else, hopefully that's some relief to those who were expecting a Herd-style dipshit to come in and ruin everything

Yeah, it seems like for what it is it was basically handled as well as it could be, but it sucks that it broke how it did and Scott being so beloved is definitely tricky with the timing and all. Hope he gets picked up by another company; he likely has a lot to offer.

On the OTHER hand, it's better for wrestling that Anthem bought TNA Wrestling, as opposed to Billy Corgan or WWE.

The TNA Meccasylum crew are firmly onside with Anthem here, which tracks for them being the worst.

Power Windows posted:What's their reasoning? Just that Scott made that purchase offer? Pretty much, and "a wrestling company should be run like a business" types of stuff, and hoping that this new exec will develop a more entertainment product and less of an "Indy" one.

Yeah... That sucks man. Does the locker room like Dreamer? I'd like to think they'd keep up the pressure but if they're cool with him then TNA will be moving to the Pay No Mind list for me

Ganso Bomb posted:Just when I was thinking of paying for their YouTube subscription thing, they pull me back out lmfao I'm in the same boat. I subscribed because it's cheap and the shows I had seen were awesome and then immediately they do this TNA really can't catch a break. Like clockwork they pull me in with a run of great shows, I watch for a while, and then bounce. I'll stick it out a little more but what a way to start the new era.

To be fair there is nothing more TNA than them finally going on a run that makes people want to pay attention and then immediately loving all that good will straight in the bin in favour of a guy last relevant in the 90's.

Me last year: I wish Anthem paid a bit more attention to the good stuff TNA is doing and finally backed them up fully. Me this year: gently caress. By all accounts Tommy has been well liked in his backstage role, Oh well, they've got me till the end of 2024 on my TNA+ sub and after that it's back to not paying too much attention to domestic stuff I guess.
