TNA announced on Facebook that Andy Barton has left the company. Barton worked with Dixie Carter at her Trifecta Entertainment company from 1996 until 2002 and then worked with TNA from 2002 until now. He was Executive Vice President up until this week.
TNA wrote the following:
“We wish TNA executive Andy Barton all the best as he pursues a new opportunity. Glad to have CSO Eric Sherman on board as we look to build on our powerful global brand, continue our rapid international growth and expand onto emerging platforms.”
Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com notes that the departure is a much bigger story than it appears. Barton was described as the one person, besides Dixie Carter, who would know more about the state of TNA than anyone else.
