Jason Powell’s ProWrestling.net is reporting that in the first of what is expected to be a series of firings, TNA has let go writer Dutch Mantell and road agent/producer Savio Vega, who were both considered to be members of Jeff Jarrett’s inner circle. Obviously, this is believed to be part of Kurt Angle’s coup. No word yet if they will go back to working in Puerto Rico or if Mantell will choose to retire so he can find Stan Hansen.

What I want to know: who does Kurt Angle know that he can put in positions of power? I mean, is he really that close with Vince Russo that he is the de facto #1?

Road agents Eric Angle and Rhaka Khan.

Poor Jarrett. Lost his job, his friends, and his life. All he got was a lousy Karen Angle in return.

Savio is looking so poor nowadays.

Is Jarrett gone? Doesn’t he still own a third of TNA? Really looking forward to him selling his shares to WWE.

that would make things pretty interesting, eh? I may be wrong, but as a minority owner in a private company I think he’d have to get the majority owner (Panda & co.) to approve any sale… if he WERE to sell, it’d probably go to Panda and give them 100%.
The wrestling biz is an odd animal to be sure… this would kinda be like the McMahon’s having their power usurped in the ‘E.
Lucky for Dutch & Kwang that there’s always PR wrestling.
