NWA Wildside promoter Bill Behrens was released by TNA wrestling this past Friday. He was told that the promotion was cutting back costs and that they wouldn’t be able to continue paying him what he was getting. Bill was in charge of the babyface gorilla position at events and booking outside talent for enhancement duties during TV tapings.
Behrens was in Stamford, CT last week to talk to WWE officials about using his Wildslide promotion as a developmental territory so the timing of his release from TNA is a little sketchy. Behrens will continue to act as an agent for TNA stars AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels
There are some who people believe that Behrens’ dismissal may be the beginning of an office purge. We don’t have any confirmation on that just yet though.
There has also been talk of Dusty Rhodes suggesting several new names to be brought into the company, although I don’t know who those may be.
