Scott D’Amore is a few months removed from being outed as the TNA President, and Anthony Cicione is replacing him, but don’t expect Don Callis to have sympathy for his former colleague.
The decision left talent upset with management to the point where they sent Anthem, the parent company of the promotion, a letter urging the company to bring him back. That didn’t happen.
From 2017-2021, D’Amore worked with Callis as a co-executive Vice President of TNA Wrestling. While appearing on Sunday Night’s Main Event, Callis was asked about D’Amore’s departure.
“What news? Scott’s not with TNA anymore? I don’t talk to Scott (D’Amore) so I don’t know. No (we’re not in touch anymore). But, but, here’s the thing, Scott D’Amore is five-foot-eight, but when he stands on his wallet, he’s 7 feet tall. So Scott D’Amore, we’re not having any tag days here for Scott D’Amore, no food stamps. If he lost his job, I don’t shed a tear because I don’t shed a tear for multi-millionaires, who now (is) just gonna play more golf. Scott’s a smart guy but I mean, you know, no tears here so, but I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know.”
Callus began working with his good friend, Kenny Omega, in TNA and AEW in late 2020. Since then, he has created The Don Callis Family, which currently consists of Konosuke Takeshita, Will Ospreay, Powerhouse Hobbs & Kyle Fletcher in AEW.
