Backstage Update On The Major Shakeup In TNA Wrestling

Earlier this afternoon, it was reported TNA has brought in a new executive in an Executive Producer role. Pwinsider is reporting that George Veras, who has a long and impressive background in broadcasting with organizations such as ABC Sports, NBC, CBS’ NFL Today series, the Cleveland Browns, and the Football Hall of Fame, among others, will be assembling his own team, which likely explains the recent departures, including Josh Mathews, who had worked as a Producer in the truck during events.

Additionally, Mark Brown, a former Director with Ring of Honor when it was under Sinclair Broadcast Group and who has experience with New Japan Pro Wrestling’s U.S. events, is joining TNA as a Director. It’s said that Brown has been involved with recent shows.

Although Anthony Cicione has left his role with TNA, he will remain with Anthem. Cicione served as TNA President for a year.

For those wondering, there don’t appear to be any changes on the creative side of the company.
