This is bizarre as he's probably been the best instance of management the company has ever had, and saved it from abject failure while making the rebranded TNA popular enough to where one of its champions made an appearance in a WWE PPV.

I'm wondering if he did some weird shit and they found out.

This feels like a huge fuckup unless Scott was engaged in some nefarious behavior. Please don't tell me he's another Vince.

Pro Wrestling is full of terrible people, but I don't know anything about Scott D'Amore, tbh.

Unless some heinous shit comes out about him this is a really stupid move. He was legit the heart of Impact/TNA and had been rebuilding it from the ground up and is extremely loved by the wrestlers there.
They replaced him with an empty suit that doesn't seem to know anything about running a wrestling show.

I bet it was when he lent Grace to the WWE for the Royal Rumble.

This, and (unless the reason he was fired is more heinous, as you said) both WWE and AEW should try to hire him. He would be a huge asset to either company's business and creative side of things.

UPDATE: Apparently he was fired because he went behind Anthem (the owner of TNA's) back and attempted to buy the company out with the help of a banking firm.

And that essentially means that TNA is going to have a lot of wrestlers asking for their release in the coming months. People don't seem to realize how many wrestlers actively chose to re-sign with the company because of Scott D'amore. Moose, who is the world champion will probably ask for his release. Same with Jordynne Grace. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if D'Amore knew about what was going to happen which is why he got the ball rolling with her and WWE since he knew she wanted to wrestle there at some point.

TNA has had so much crazy shit happen its insane. This is just another to add to the list. WWE would go out of business before TNA would since TNA has survived just about everything.

Yeah I agree.
I feel like we're going to see Jordynne Grace in the WWE sooner rather than later especially after this.

Anthem was DUMB to not accept his $$$ offer and thinking they can shove a random suit into his position and solve the problem.

It doesn't say if he was trying to be hostile or if he was just trying to line up cash to make an offer either.

I've always hated the name TNA. Since it started out as Pay Per View only, the idea was that it was going to be MA-14 and allusion to T&A was intentional.

Even that had been the case, it gives the wrong impression. I would expect TNA Wrestling to have a championship between Tanya Towers and Stacy Stack'd in a giant bowl of pudding. It doesn't sound edgy or hardcore. It just sounds like sleaze.

(And sleazy mudwrestling would probably be a lot more fun to watch.)

It was sleaze early on in the PPV only days. They had one girl literally rip her top off and flash her titties openly in the ring. They were full out there too.

Nice. But still not what I would want to name my company after unless it was all that I had to offer.

She had a hell of a showing at the Royal Rumble, and they even did the "face-off tease" with her a few times.

She could go right into programs with Bianca, Naomi, Rhea, etc.
