Nic Nemeth admits that “it’s been a little weird backstage” at TNA over the last couple of months
This week, it was announced that Tessa Blanchard, Tommy Dreamer, and Sami Callihan are no longer working for TNA Wrestling. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, TNA’s Nic Nemeth addressed the situation…
“Morale has, when we got building together to get that TV deal, couldn’t be any higher. And then as we move on, it’s gotta drop down just a little bit. And then it’s like, oh, it was like, man, some people are leaving. What are we doing? I don’t know exactly what’s going on.
And when you hear something at work, I don’t wanna hear something second and third hand and then apply it to someone and apply it to the office to where I’m hating two different people without even knowing a story. So I’m gonna get the scoop on what’s happening now. But most importantly, I really think the locker room is such a huge aspect. It’s what got me to sign on to TNA, and I thought we were in a really good place, but I think the last couple months it’s been a little weird backstage.
It’s been different, and I don’t exactly know why, and I can’t put my finger on it.
So the influence that Tommy’s had on our show, on creative, on years of TNA—like, I’ve only been there 2 and a half years. He’s been there a decade back and forth doing so many different roles. And so many of us pride ourselves on, ‘I could be the opening match and steal the show. I could go out there in the main event. I could be the one that sends everyone to intermission happy.’ We all pride ourselves on that.
I don’t think I could do any of those other roles that you don’t see behind the scenes where everybody in the entire company and any independent wrestler is probably texting and calling you every single day because that’s what you think you’re supposed to do to get ahead. I have Tommy Dreamer’s email. You better believe he’s getting my match from this weekend. He’s getting a text from me to see, ‘Hey, I know you’re coming to New Mexico this week. Can you come get me?’
Imagine that every single day. I would just throw my phone in a river. Tommy lives off of that because he actually knows everybody and he knows what they’re capable of, and it’s just such a valuable aspect to any company.”
