Carlos Silva: TNA has ‘a lot of goals to accomplish’
Carlos Silva outlines his goals for TNA.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso ahead of Sunday’s Bound for Glory, the president of TNA explained the company’s role in pro wrestling, not only cultivating young talent but also providing space for wrestlers who made their names in TNA and elsewhere.
“We have a lot of goals. We can develop young stars,” he said. “Joe Hendry is a great example. I know he wrestled elsewhere, but TNA provided a platform for him to reach new levels–then you saw him at WrestleMania. TNA is a place for young stars like Leon Slater. It’s a place for legends like The Hardys and stars like Eric Young, Nic Nemeth, Matt Cardona, and Frankie Kazarian–and I could go on and on.”
Silva took over for Scott D’Amore, who departed the company in 2024. Silva complimented the team that has taken over since.
“TNA has been around 23 years, so I’m building off a really good foundation,” he said. “We have some great minds in the company like Eric Tompkins, Tommy Dreamer, and Ross Forman. We brought in sports executives for production and marketing, too. We’re bringing best practices from sports and applying them to our live events. It’s a team that is pulling all together, and that makes a big difference. It’s been a great nine months, but we’re not going to slow down.”
Bound for Glory is set for this weekend at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachussetts. Top matches include Trick Williams defending the TNA Championship against Mike Santana and The Hardys taking on Team 3D in a tables match for the TNA Tag Team titles.
