The wrestling promotion TNA, owned by Anthem, is experiencing a considerable restructuring. Following the replacement of former president Scott D’Amore in February, a memo from new president Carlos Silva announced eight more departures. These include Executive Producer Ariel Shnerer, who was effectively the head of creative, and TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim. Shnerer's responsibilities are being taken over by former ROH booker Hunter "Delirious" Johnston. Tommy Dreamer is also taking up a role on creative, and also as the head of Talent Relations, replacing Gail Kim. These changes come amid speculation about TNA's future, especially given the recent partnership with WWE.
