Big Shake Up In TNA

    It is being reported that TNA Creative team member Wayne Cowan (former wrestler Dutch Mantel) and TNA Agent Savio Vega have been released by TNA.

    Dutch Mantel was very close to Jeff Jarrett. He had been with TNA since 2003. His departure leaves the creative team without a veteran ‘wrestling mind’. This is a big departure for sure.

    Savio Vega was brought in as an agent last year after Scott D’Amore’s departure and had been working closely with the Knockouts. He was very close with Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantel as well.

    There are many who are questioning Jeff Jarrett’s status with the company as well. These are both huge shakeups within TNA.

    Could be the shake up TNA needs in all fairness. Time to rattle some cages.

    This could be great for TNA. Hopefully they get the right minds in to improve the product and revive the V-Division.

    With Mantel and Jarrett out, that leaves the creative department entirely in the hands of Russo. It certainly looks like all those who are close or loyal to Jarrett are being filtered out.

    But Russo is closer to Jarret than those two. He better **** off soon enough. Mantell was not a bad guy

    True, I forgot about that but isn't Dixie a fan of Russo (or so her Wiki says).

    Dixie was a fan of everything TNA. She knows nothing about wrestling and was just spoon fed by JJ. I like her but she needs to get a clue

    From what's going around more cuts may be coming, come on Russo.

    You want Russo fired?, I thought you had respect for him for addressing your email?

    Bring in Heyman. The second greatest booker in history.

    You've obviously set it up for someone to ask, so I might as well bite. Greatest?

    I think Heyman had said in interviews that he wants noting to do with wrestling any more. Let alone booking a whole company that's been in the toilet for close to three years.

    Jarret abd Abgke get on better than Heyman and cornette. They should just let Steiner book it and do everything
