February 7th 2024.
There has been some major news in the world of TNA Wrestling, as it has been announced that Scott D'Amore will no longer be serving as the company's president. The 49-year-old retired wrestler and manager has been let go by the company, with parent company Anthem Sports & Entertainment appointing Anthony Cicione as his replacement.
According to a statement released by the media company, D'Amore's contract has been terminated and Cicione will be taking over as president. D'Amore has been a part of TNA since 2003 and has held various leadership positions within the company. He has played a crucial role in the growth and success of TNA Wrestling, including the successful relaunch of the brand in 2024. Anthem has expressed their gratitude for D'Amore's contributions and thanked him for his commitment to the business and the talent.
The decision to replace D'Amore with Cicione is part of Anthem's efforts to further integrate TNA Wrestling into their Entertainment Group. This move will allow them to make full use of their resources and add more value in areas such as production, distribution, marketing, and digital revenue streams. Cicione, who has been with Anthem for 16 years, has a wealth of experience in technical operations and managing cable and digital channels. In addition to his role as President of Entertainment, he will now also oversee the day-to-day business operations for TNA Wrestling.
Anthem praised Cicione for his 30 years of executive-level management experience and his past success with bringing WWE to The Score channel. As for D'Amore, he has yet to publicly address his departure, but some wrestlers have paid tribute to him on social media. Current TNA Knockouts Women's Champion Jordynne Grace tweeted that D'Amore was the heart and soul of TNA and irreplaceable. Veteran wrestler Frankie Kazarian also expressed his gratitude towards D'Amore for his hard work and dedication to TNA over the years.
Announcer Dave Penzer also shared his thoughts on D'Amore's departure, stating that without him, TNA would probably just be a video library owned by WWE. Penzer witnessed firsthand how D'Amore transformed TNA into the successful company it is today, despite facing budget constraints. He hopes that TNA will continue to thrive without D'Amore at the helm.
