The fallout from TNA pulling talent from indie matches spilled directly into the crowd at WrestleCon, as fans made their feelings loud and clear during the Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow.
During the WrestleCon Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow 2026 — the same event affected by the decision to pull TNA talent from scheduled indie matches — the atmosphere shifted dramatically before one of the night’s biggest bouts.
Just prior to the scheduled trios match featuring Ricochet & The Gates of Agony vs. Speedball Mike Bailey, Michael Oku (with Amira Blair) & Kevin Knight, frustration from fans reached a boiling point inside the venue.
As tensions over the talent pull situation lingered throughout the show, the crowd erupted into loud anti-company chants that echoed across the arena. Fans inside the venue began chanting: “F** TNA!”*
The chants rang out across the building and were clearly audible throughout the venue, shows the level of frustration many fans felt after multiple advertised matchups were affected by the sudden talent withdrawals.
The reaction came amid growing controversy surrounding TNA’s decision to pull its talent from indie matches involving AEW-affiliated wrestlers, a move that created ripple effects across WrestleCon weekend and forced last-minute changes to several appearances and bookings.
With tensions between promotions and booking restrictions becoming a bigger talking point, moments like this show how invested fans are in cross-promotional matchups — and how strongly they react when those opportunities disappear.
