IMPCT/GFW DEPARTURES/RELEASES

[Sinclair Promotions]

Anthem is doing everything they can to have Impact turn some sort of profit. Are they all good decisions? I think it's too early to tell.

They have lost/released a lot of talent in the past year which is opening the door for newer talent to come in.

Releasing your referee core can't be a good thing, but from what I am hearing Anthem will be going with "local referees" for Bound for Glory and the upcoming tapings. I have to wonder if any of those guys have any television experience? Time will tell.

I think the only good decision Anthem has made is moving the tapings away from Orlando and charging for tickets. Hopefully they can come close to breaking even on this round of tapings.

Former TNA King of the Mountain Champion Bram announced today that he is no longer working with Impact. Bram was first signed by the company in 2014 but has not been used since the March Impact Wrestling tapings earlier this year.

Bram joins referee Earl Hebner, referee Robert King, referee Brian Hebner, Marshe Rockett, Rockstar Spud, Taryn Terrell, Eddie Kingston, Robbie E, Jeff Jarrett, Low Ki, MJ Jenkins and Reno Scum as recent Impact departures. It's believed that James Storm is on his way out as well.

I heard that the Bound for Glory PPV was pretty well received except for a few parts here and there. Hopefully they can find some sort of stability on their roster. Moving your main taping location to a completely different country certainly shakes things up a bit.

Anyone see this?

no real surprise. They're cutting costs and it might well be cheaper there especially using the local talent.

Cowboy James Storm is gone from Impact. Could we see Beer Money on Smackdown?
