TNA’s AMC Debut Missed Key Stars
Several prominent TNA Wrestling names were absent from the promotion’s debut on AMC this past Thursday, leaving fans and industry observers wondering about the reasons behind their non-participation. Steve Maclin, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, and Josh Alexander were among those not present for the broadcast, which featured matches and segments intended to introduce TNA to a wider audience.
Wrestling Inc. reports that the absences weren’t due to creative disagreements or issues with AMC. Rather, the missing wrestlers were primarily those currently involved in storylines that won’t culminate until the upcoming Revolution pay-per-view on March 9th. TNA opted to focus the AMC debut on talent with narratives that were instantly accessible to new viewers.
Specifically, maclin is building toward a match with PCO, while shelley and Sabin are focused on their tag team championship pursuit. Alexander is also slated for a significant match at Revolution. Keeping these wrestlers off the AMC broadcast allowed TNA to present a streamlined show for a new audience without confusing ongoing storylines.
The decision reflects a strategic approach to introducing TNA to AMC viewers. By showcasing talent in active, self-contained narratives, the promotion aimed to create a positive first impression and encourage continued viewership.
