Backstage News On TNA Replacing Mike Tenay, TNA Working With Less Money, Brooke & Robbie
- Robbie E and girlfriend Brooke Tessmacher finished 2nd out of 5 teams on last night's episode of The Amazing Race on CBS. They advance to the final four on next Friday's episode.
- As noted, Josh Mathews is expected to replace Mike Tenay on TNA commentary when Impact Wrestling launches on Destination America in January. This move has been expected internally for a while as Tenay lives in Las Vegas and has to be flown in to events while Mathews is now working out of TNA headquarters in Nashville. As noted, Tenay is expected to stay with the company in a different role.
With their new TV deal, TNA has less money to work with and other cost cutting early on is expected.
