On Tuesday, it was revealed by multiple outlets that TNA had released a few names backstage. One of which was former TNA Head of Talent Relations, TNA Hall of Famer, and longest reigning Knockouts World Champion, Gail Kim – and the other was TNA Head of Creative and Chief Content Officer Ariel Schnerer.

Yesterday, BQ revealed that Gail Kim butted heads with new TNA President Carlos Silva, but now he’s learned that there was another name Gail did not get along with.

-Gail and Ariel did not like each other and continued backstage turmoil led both executives to give TNA President Carlos Silva an ultimatum – that he had to pick a side.

-Instead of picking a side, Silva fired them both.

-As far as the Knockouts division, the upper management does have continued plans for them going forward and has included them heavily in creative plans – that will not change – both inside the company and NXT integration.

While more information becomes available, Bodyslam will continue to have updates on the situation.

Hopefully AEW picks up Gail and puts her in charge of the women's division.

This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
