Theres been a major development in the story surrounding Jacob Cohens removal from a recent TNA tapingand this time, its good news.
Two days after Cohen was unexpectedly kicked out of TNAs November 15 taping at Full Sail University, the longtime Florida wrestling fan gave an update on the situation. On November 17, Cohen revealed that he had spoken directly with TNA officials about the incident and received an apology.
Cohen added that he appreciated how the company handled the situation in hindsight, offering a clear message of reconciliation.
He also took a moment to thank the wrestling community for supporting him after the incident gained traction online.
The situation escalated quickly on the night of the taping when Cohen was removed from the venue by TNA staff after being accused of filming. Despite showing that he wasnt recording anything, he was still asked to leave and later told he wouldnt receive a refund.
As noted previously, AEW President Tony Khan took notice and publicly supported Cohen by posting, @MrJacobCohen Youre always welcome at AEW and ROH! #AEWCollision just hours after the incident.
Now that TNA has apologized and promised to improve how situations like this are handled, the door appears open againat least for Cohen. Tony Khans invitation, however, served as a powerful message about how AEW treats loyal wrestling supporters, especially those whove contributed to growing the scene for decades.
What do you think about TNAs apology and Tony Khans response? Should more wrestling promotions be this transparent when issues happen? Let us know in the comments.
