Hello there, my very good friends. On today's wrestling news, we're going to try and pick apart whatever the heck is going on in TNA. Starting with the big WW name who could be coming in as Tommy Dreamers replacement. Yeah, I'll bring you a TNA update following all those departures. We've got another former world champion leaving TNA. And as we mentioned yesterday, Tessa Blanchard has left TNA. We'll talk about her addressing her exit. I'm Adam Wilborn. I'm Andy H.Murray. The H. Today stands for him. That's where it's going. It's not coming home. Thoughting you were rather fortunate. Maybe a bunch of 40-year-olds. Congratulations. That's bullying, if anything. Thanks for the penalty. Elder abuse, I would say. Yeah, anyway. I'm not going to get carried away, but I think we're the best team in this tournament. Fast forward to getting beat by Panama. Yeah. Oh, Ghana are pretty decent actually. It's all right. Morocco are going to bulldoze us tomorrow. Anyway, this is the news. Yeah, this is the news. Time stamps on this are going to be crazy.

1:27.7

company a few times but very synonymous with TNA in the modern era as Tommy dreamer he revealed

1:33.5

on busted open radio that the him and the company of much company have mutually agreed to part ways

1:38.1

was a very emotional address uh he was choked up he made it quite clear there was no malice

1:43.7

or anything like that it's just for the best at this point in time. He has gone. He had been in like a multi-capacity role. He'd been an on-screen performer. He was a producer as well. He was talking about how much just he loved going to work. It's quite a tough watch. Yeah. It's quite a tough watch, the poor fella.
