Summary

West Coast Pro Wrestling owner Scott Bregante has publicly criticized TNA after talent that had already been cleared for independent dates was later pulled from advertised matches.

The latest fallout involves Nic Nemeth being removed from his Create A Pro Wrestling match against MJF and Leon Slater being pulled from his WrestleCon Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow bout against Ricochet. Bregante said the frustration came after the bookings had already been approved through multiple channels and business had been done.

Why the latest TNA changes drew a reaction

Bregante's complaint adds another promoter voice to a story that has picked up momentum over the last day. Earlier, Carlos Silva said partner conflicts led to TNA talent being pulled from shows, giving the company's explanation for the decision.

What makes this reaction stand out is that Bregante framed it as a breakdown after agreements had already been reached. He also noted that one of the affected dates was a memorial show, which made the late change land even worse from a promoter's side.

What this could mean for TNA and independent bookings

TNA's handling of outside appearances now puts more pressure on independent promoters to treat announced crossover matches as uncertain until the final approval truly holds. For fans, that means cards involving TNA names could remain fluid even after matches have been promoted.

It also creates more strain between TNA and independent groups that rely on those appearances to sell major events. If more bookings are reversed after being cleared, promoters may become far more cautious about building shows around TNA talent.
