– AEW’s Don Callis On Scott D’Amore: “I Don’t Shed a Tear for Multi-Millionaires”
The leader of the Don Callis family says he hasn’t spoken to his former TNA co-executive Vice President and did not know about his firing.
Callis was a guest on the Sunday Nights Main Event podcast, and shared his thoughts on D’Amore. “I don’t talk to Scott, so I don’t know. No, we’re not in touch anymore… If he lost his job, I don’t shed a tear because I don’t shed a tear for multi-millionaires…” said Callis.

The real reason Steveson was released: he was a Vince hire, an example of Vince prefers brand name over actual in ring talent. Steveson is just the modern day Nathan Jones.
