@TellumSiege I don't know why, but Simon Gotch has really caught my attention. Gives me Edge vibes.

@JelloBrains @GeekFTW to be honest, I can see why TNA want to keep him if they can. I kind of don't blame them. But from a talent management standpoint it's not a good indicator of how he feels about the state of things. It arguably looks worse if they let Josh leave because it sets a precedent that Anthem will let you leave. But you can't treat people like assets on a spreadsheet.
Real solution is rehiring Scott D'Amore.
@GeekFTW maybe Josh would have still wanted to look around even with D'Amore at the helm, but the fact that he wanted to look is not a good look for Anthem.
@GeekFTW hold up. The title says that TNA is extending the contract, but the graphic says he resigned. Which is it? Normally it doesn't matter because you probably want to stay at your wrestling promotion, but in this case I wonder if this is Anthem keeping Josh Alexander on lock? Idk, I'm just sus about everything they do now, lol.
@GeekFTW NGL, it's a clever way to mess with fans and drum up hype to something. I imagine it's something at Impact or No Surrender only because I would be surprised for them to have a public show of their displeasure with Anthem.
In my heart I want it to mean that Scott D'Amore return incoming lol
@ThatSportsChick @wrestling and Edge. AEW is unfortunately good at making top stars feel like mid card people.
@GeekFTW the way he talked about it makes me think that he suspects TNA was losing money. Maybe that has been the state of things for a while and what they wanted out of TNA was to start being profitable or cut costs. But if D'Amore was asking for money and to increase budget, that's just not a guy who will do the cost cutting that they need. Theory: they let D'Amore try to increase revenue but his time was up and now it's time to contain costs.
@GeekFTW yeah, that sounds real possible. I can only imagine how intimidating organizing a strike would be so I don't blame folks for not wanting to. Especially if you're employed in a highly competitive industry for the third largest promotion.
@GeekFTW yoooooo let's goooooo!!
