Wrestling enthusiast Jacob Cohen, who previously said he was unfairly removed from a recent TNA Turning Point taping, has provided an update on the incident. Cohen revealed on X that TNA officials contacted him directly to apologize for the way the situation was handled and assured him that measures have been put in place to prevent similar problems in the future.
In his update, Cohen stated, “I had a call with TNA officials this morning, and they apologized for what happened. They have taken steps to address the issue and ensure it doesn’t happen again. Mistakes happen, and I appreciate their efforts to fix this.”
He also expressed gratitude to those who supported him after his story gained significant attention online. “I want to thank everyone who reached out with kind words over the past 36 hours. I truly appreciate all of you. Over the years, I’ve made many friends through wrestling, and I love you all,” he said.
The controversy began when Cohen claimed he was asked to leave the TNA taping due to allegations of unauthorized filming. Although Cohen denied recording the event and told management as much, he was still removed and told no refund would be given. Despite denying filming, Cohen did share spoiler images from the event on social media.
The incident drew reactions from fans and industry figures alike, with AEW President Tony Khan responding to Cohen’s post, welcoming him to attend any future AEW or ROH events. TNA Wrestling has yet to make an official statement on the matter.
Fan Take: This update shows TNA Wrestling’s willingness to acknowledge mistakes and improve fan relations, which is vital for maintaining trust in the community. Handling such disputes with transparency and care can set a positive precedent for the sport moving forward.
