SRS: Gisele Shaw has been granted her TNA release
Not surprising in the least as a lot of people figured she'd be on her way out the door once D'Amore was canned (they are engaged for those not in the know). Expectations are that she ends up in Maple Leaf Pro but I could see her doing the indie rounds easily as well.
Also a pretty big blow to the Knockouts division, especially with them almost certainly losing Grace by end of year as well, and having lost Purrazzo and Trinity not too long ago comparably.
6Yeah, while they’ve brought some people in since it still feels like they haven’t fully recovered since those departures. They can pretty easily elevate a few, but still need a few more people, I think.
I wish the best for Gisele. I hadn’t seen her before she showed up in TNA and really enjoyed when she played the first boss to beat when new people came in. I kinda thought this would be her year to become KO champ.
5Honestly with the story switch from Diva > Knockout that she did with (iirc?) Gail Kim, it honestly seemed like she was being set up to do so.
That being said she also signed with TNA in early 2022 so her contract was probably coming due in 3 months time. Unless if she purposely didn't wanna follow Scott to MLP a KO title run may have been out of the question since Grace is probably holding the belt till she leaves for WWE.

aside from wrestling shes a pretty big inspiration for me as a trans girl i loved her documentary about coming out and im so glad tna supported her. she'll obviously turn up in maple leaf but i really do hope for a run in roh too because id love to see her and ember.
6She's got a lot of friends between ROH/AEW, I have no doubt she'll pop in at least on occasion, especially assuming MLP doesn't get a tv deal (as I cannot imagine 'new small Canadian indie wrestling company' gets a tv deal lol).
6@cupcakezealot @GeekFTW i think becorse MLP got athena + Don callis + QT she will get an showing at ROH / AEW 😉
i think AEW / ROH works with scott / MLP 👍
4Takeshita as well. Scott ain't stupid, he knows AEW/ROH will 100% work with him and clearly is and that's real good for both parties. Also got ELP from NJ, Yamashita from TJ. Working with AEW-ROH is gonna be worth it for the connections alone, especially for access to Rocky who helps facilitate a lot of this stuff.

Earlier I said I saw Odyssey Jones was released, and my reaction was ".....who?"
And now I see Gisele Shaw has been released from TNA.
Again........who?
0All of your "who is this wrestler?" questions can be solved in seconds thanks to a new internet invention called "search engines". They seem to be the latest online fad, as there's Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, just to name a few. They've only been around for a couple decades, so I can understand why you might not have heard of them.
Tap for spoiler
Big freakin' /s in case it isn't obvious.
In all seriousness, save yourself the down votes and use Google, or whatever your preferred search may be.
2Dude, If ya don't know Odyssey Jones, that's one thing. If you're only watching the main roster and not NXT then he's only 'been around' for a literal month and now is gone. Blink and you can miss him.
If ya don't know Gisele Shaw then you don't watch TNA period cause she's been on screen for 3 years and ya probably shouldn't comment on stuff you don't watch cause ya can't have an opinion on it lol. Look the people up at least, ignorance helps no one.
I don't watch the NHL but I ain't going to the hockey community and going "Who?!" after the news of the guy who died last week lol.
2Oh, I don't watch WWE in general, or TNA. But I still know who Moose is, and Joe Hendry, and Jordanne Grace.
The top people in a promotion tend to make waves, and headlines. And then there's people who just sit on a roster, appear regularly, play their part, and nobody talks about them.
With NHL it's even worse, because you have Wayne Gretzgy, and then a WHOLE LOTTA "who?" since the league founded over 100 years ago. But their problem is that NHL fans don't really talk about NHL to anyone. So non-fans never hear the names, or know who's a good player. Same problem with the MLB.
My dad HATES wrestling. Like he actively detests it. He still knows Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and The Rock. I'm unclear if he knows John Cena or Ric Flair, but he's demonstrated proof that he knows the others I mentioned by name. Because society talks about those guys. Or at least they did when they wrestled. But I could fully understand why he wouldn't know who Shelton Benjamin is.
