TNA Wrestling is going to be without a full roster soon if the departures keep piling up.
At TNA “Slammiversary” on June 28, Magnus is scheduled to go one-on-one with James Storm. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that it will be Magnus’ last match with the company.
Rather than leave the professional wrestling industry entirely, Nicholas Aldis (Magnus’ real name) will be taking his talents over to Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling promotion.
An official statement hasn’t been made by the company because Magnus will be appearing on next Wednesday’s taped edition of “Impact Wrestling.”
Magnus is just one of several TNA stars who have parted ways with the company over the last month, with James Storm, Samuel Shaw, Gunner and Low-Ki all doing the same.
Magnus signed with TNA back in November of 2008, debuting as the “Modern Day Gladiator.” He went on to capture the TNA World Tag Team Championship on two occasions with Doug Williams and Samoa Joe.
His biggest victory came on Dec. 19 in a “Dixieland” match against Jeff Hardy, winning his first and only TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
Editor’s Note
Anyone else care to TNA while we’re at it? Defend the company all you want, but all of these stars packing their bags and leaving at this rate just goes to show the state of array that promotion is in.
