Adam won't be happy...

D.O.C. and Tara have both been released overnight. Also reported to have gone are Bruce Prichard and D'lo Brown but neither are confirmed as yet.

Surprised they let D.O.C go wasn't he in a story line with Anderson to be the next V.I.P of aces and 8's?

And not too fused about the others didn't rate Tara very much not heard of Pritchard and well D.lo Brown was well passed it anyway.

Big hairy balls is all I have to add to this story.

I am in a 45 minute car ride with the guy from TNA UK on Saturday, so he will be feeling my wrath.

THE D.O.C. ✔ @ImpactDOC
My contract with TNA Wrestling expired July 12th, as of this evening we have officially parted ways. #SUNTANBIKERMAN tours again!!


Could it be a work for him to return as a babyface?

My first thoughts were that DOC would be coming back to attack Knux/Anderson in the next month or two. It would be such a new and exciting idea for TNA to announce a contract expiry, only to have the person mentioned return!

Quite surprised at Tara too, still capable of putting on a good match and given the size of the Knockouts division you'd think TNA would try to keep as many women contracted as they could!

From what I read, his contract expired.

If thats the case, its pretty poor form that TNA and DOC didnt come to an agreement to allow them to write him out.

Even if it had been the rest of Aces and 8s turning on him last week after the failed vote. To allow DOC on screen in a major storyline (the VP one) and then disappear the next is shocking.

My guess is that DOC will be on destination X (either in a pre recorded segment being written out) or this is a work.

Anything else and its a disaster.

Also, correct me if I am wrong but isnt the Knockout division now down to 4 people and ODB? (Kim, Mickie, Tarryn and Velvet)

Tessmacher is still on the books isn't she? Even if she is that is a tiny division.

 No Eric Young had to give up the tag belts with ODB so guess hes out of the knock out division.

As mentioned above i see DOC back as a face soon

I wonder if Hulk Hogan will take to Twitter to say he wants D.O.C., Tara and D-Lo Brown? back in TNA and that he had nothing to do with their releases?


Shame about D.O.C. it looked like they had some plans for him what with the VP storyline with Anderson. Wonder how they'll write him out for the time being? Is there anyone orange enough to play his double in a backstage beatdown segment?

Sad to hear. I really liked Tara (though not her dalliance with that idiot Jesse Godderz - think they've finally booked him properly as Robbie E's sidekick in "Bromance" Wink )

Quite liked DOC and really thought he'd get the VP gig. Hope they both come back soon.

Never even saw D-Lo until the Aces & Eights story broke, so not sure what his standing in the company was - although it now seems he's redundant. Bruce Pritchard seemed like a decent guy - maybe he got a better offer elsewhere? Would explain why they have the head of OVW as a Gut Check judge now.

Its things like D.O.Cs release that alienate me from the TNA product, theywant you to invest in their storylines and characters but just drop them from TV without any real explanation.

It'd be strange for the DOC character to just take the huff and turn up in a few weeks as a face, he's an action first kind of character or so we've been led to beilieve, if he was genuinely annoyed at A&8s democratic decision to vote Anderson the you'd think he'd man up to those who voted against him so coming back a face doesnt strike me as logical either

You've summed it up gaffer. It's absolutely bush league if legit, and if it's a worked shoot I might literally yawn to death.

They couldn't organise the proverbial social gathering in a brewery.

And it seemed like DOC was getting some what of a push, or at least a backing from TNA.

It really is hard to tell when a company is purposefully putting their support behind wrestlers...

Statistically, 80% of people can't tell.

Is that based on a 5 man user group?

From what I've read/heard, wasn't Tara the highest paid Knock Out on the roster? I mean if they're not going to use her while she's staying at home getting paid then it makes sense that she's leaving... I'm sure she'll keep busy doesn't she run some kind of events/shows in Chicago?

DOC on the other side, the timing is very strange. I don't think it's a worked shoot as some are suggesting it's a simple matter of fact that his contract has ran out, maybe he'll return on a pay per appearance basis, or better yet let him have a couple of months off and start a slow-burning feud with Mr. Anderson / Knox

I hope they're going to trim the roster slightly more, I don't know how the likes of Jesse Godderz, Rob Terry or Sam Shaw have managed to avoid the cuts so far...

I'd like to know how the cost of all these contracts they've terminated compares to Brooke Hogan's.

I thought the did a piece a while back, about him getting a job behind the scenes?

I thought it would be good if he got a job with their creative team...couldn't hurt to have some fresh blood in there.

"Jesse Sorensen, who announced his departure from TNA on Tuesday, is accusing TNA president Dixie Carter of making "false promises" to Sorensen about always having a job with the company.

Sorensen, who suffered a severe neck injury and temporary paralysis during a TNA match in February 2012, launched a Kickstarter-style campaign on Tuesday to help fund his entry in a bodybuilding contest. Sorensen claimed in a description of the campaign that he is unable to pay for the contest following his release from TNA.

"After a long recovery process & being promised by the President of TNA Impact Wrestling TNA Dixie Carter I would always have a job with her company, I recently was released from my current contract & shown that those promises were false," Sorensen wrote on the verified GoFundMe page.

"During my time away from the ring I decided to pursue bodybuilding & have been prepping for the Hurricane Bay bodybuilding show in Tampa, Fla. on Oct. 5, 2013, but now due to my recent released(sic) I will have to drop out of my show. A friend of mine told me about this site and if anyone would like to help and contribute I would be so grateful and appreciate any donations. Thanks and hopefully I can find something I love just as much as I did Wrestling."

Sorensen, who is attempting to raise $600 for the bodybuilding contest, also changed his Twitter account from @TNASorensen to JessySorensen on Tuesday.

TNA has yet to address why Sorensen was released from the company, where he was working behind-the-scenes after being removed from the active roster." Source - PW Torch.
