TNA Stars React to Scott D'Amore's Sudden Firing

TNA fans were delivered some sudden and disappointing news earlier today, as Anthem revealed that TNA President Scott D'Amore's contract had been terminated. Anthem's President of Entertainment Anthony Cicione will be stepping into that President of TNA role moving forward, which Anthem stated was a move to "further integrate TNA Wrestling into Anthem's Entertainment Group" in their official statement. D'Amore was by all reports a beloved figure in Impact Wrestling and now TNA, and many stars in TNA have taken to social media to share their support and gratitude to D'Amore in reaction to the news. You can check out some of those on the next slide, and you can find the official statement from Anthem below.

The statement reads, "Anthem Sports & Entertainment Inc., a global multi-platform media company, announced today the appointment of Anthony Cicione as the President of TNA Wrestling.

The move aims to further integrate TNA Wrestling into Anthem's Entertainment Group, of which Cicione is the President, leveraging the entire Company's resources to add more value in areas including production, distribution, marketing, viewership, customer acquisition, digital revenue streams, ad sales and sponsorships, digital tech operations, and more.

Cicione replaces Scott D'Amore, whose contract with Anthem has been terminated. D'Amore has been a part of TNA since 2003. He held many key leadership positions and played a vital role in the growth of the company leading to its strong industry reputation today, including the successful return of the TNA Wrestling brand in 2024. Anthem thanks him for the commitment he brought to the business, the talent, and the people who work outside the ring.

In addition to these duties as President of Entertainment, Cicione will now manage the day-to-day business operations for TNA Wrestling. He brings more than 30 years of executive-level management experience to the organization. Cicione has been with Anthem for the last 16 years, managing technical operations and multiple cable and digital channels. Prior to his time with Anthem, Cicione was a producer of sports content including catapulting The Score to success by bringing WWE to the channel."

The incredibly painstaking, tedious and difficult work that @ScottDAmore has put in to bring @ThisIsTNA to this very exciting moment in time, cannot be understated. We all, wrestlers and fans alike, owe him a debt of gratitude. 🥃
