As noted a couple of days ago, TNA Executive Vice President Andy Barton left the company this past week. Dave Meltzer talked a little bit about his departure on Wrestling Observer radio. There is already concern about the future of TNA but Barton’s departure really made a lot of people worried. As we noted yesterday, Barton has been in business with Dixie Carter for 19 years, long before they got into the wrestling business.
This may be just a coincidence but the news of Barton’s exit from the company came at about the same time that the ratings for Wednesday’s show got out. The ratings were among the lowest they’ve ever done and the lowest ratings ever in the Wednesday time slot. It will be interesting to see if Destination America decides to take action.
