In a recent interview with Irish Wrestling & Entertainment, Alex Shelley discussed the impact of Scott D’Amore’s departure from TNA Wrestling.
Anthem, the parent company of TNA, terminated D’Amore’s contract in February, causing discontent among the company’s employees.
Shelley shared his thoughts on D’Amore’s departure and its effects on the talent.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On D’Amore’s exit: “It was very sad. Again, the sense of loss was quite strong. The other thing that I had experience in, but now many other people did, there were a handful of us who we’ve been through these situations where the booker has changed, and it’s scary if you’ve not been through it because you don’t know if your livelihood is going to get taken from you.”
On the unhappiness among the roster in regard to the firing: “I think I had to talk a lot of people off a ledge. I was happy to do that because that’s what you do for your brothers and sisters. That’s what you do when you’re part of a team, and I think everybody’s done really well.”
