Former X Division Champion gone from TNA, Sacrifice, Spike TV schedule
On Monday, August 15, 2005 at 4:53 PM EST Dave Meltzer of WrestlingObserver.com is reporting that Matt Bently (who went by Michael Shane earlier in the company) is no longer with TNA Wrestling. Bently's contract with TNA expired and he reportedly wouldn't accept the new deal that was offered to him. His bio is still being listed in the "ROSTER" section of TNAwrestling.com as of this afternoon.
A highlight video from last night's Sacrifice PPV has been added including comments from viewers who saw the show. To view the video along with a replay schedule for the show, click here. This was definitely a show that any wrestling fan should check out, including loyal WWE fans that have become rather upset with the lackluster PPV events recently.
