Former TNA/IMPACT Wrestling Commentators Mike Tenay And Don West To Headline 2023 Hall Of Fame
Moment ago during the IMPACT Victory Road broadcast, the next two Hall of Fame inductees were revealed.
Mike Tenay and Don West were revealed as the newest inductees, which will take place at Bound For Glory on October 21st in Chicago, Illinois.
West joined TNA when Jeff Jarrett founded it in 2002. He served as the color commentator alongside play-by-play announcer Mike Tenay and was known for his trademark enthusiasm. Notably, he was part of the commentary team for the first TNA pay-per-view in June 2002.
West later expanded his role by becoming chiefly responsible for merchandise creation and sales in TNA. West departed TNA in 2012, but returned in 2017 as part of the merchandise department and did some commentary work once in awhile.
“The Professor” Mike Tenay also joined TNA in 2002 and worked as the play-by-play announcer until 2015.
Unfortunately, Don West passed away in a December of 2022 before he could physically accept the induction, however, Mike Tenay is still around and will likely be there in person to accept his induction.
Many fans think that these two icons of the company should’ve been inducted along time ago and that’s hard to argue with.
Tune into Bound for Glory to see the ceremony!
