Sports division of TNA Wrestling’s parent company hires new president
The company that owns TNA Wrestling and Invicta Fighting Championships has a new president of their sports division.
Announced by Anthem Thursday, Carlos Silva has been named to the top spot of Anthem Sports & Entertainment where he will be responsible for overseeing the growth and development of TNA, Invicta and the Fight Network, reporting to Anthem CEO Leonard Asper.
Silva’s background includes involvement with the PFL/World Series of Fighting, several tennis tournaments, the former Universal Sports Network which was sold to NBC, and both AOL News and AOL Sports. His last role was as president of SeventySix Capital Sports Advisory where he will remain as a partner. He also has an investment banking background.
It’s the latest move in 2024 that has seen TNA’s leadership change drastically with the firing of Scott D’Amore and hiring of Anthony Cicione and the hiring of former WWE executive Rob Kligman as the new chief revenue officer for Anthem Sports & Entertainment.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
