Steve Maclin just responded to getting the pink slip—and he didn’t hold back.
After being revealed as the “fired” man during the January 29 episode of TNA iMPACT, Maclin took to Twitter with a blunt post that immediately got fans talking. The Feast or Fired briefcase opening confirmed Maclin as the unlucky one, while Eddie Edwards, Trey Miguel, and Eric Young all walked away with title shots. Maclin’s reaction was short, bitter, and real:
This felt personal—and very possible that it could reflect a real-life exit. Whether it’s storyline or legit, Maclin’s “firing” adds to the infamous Feast or Fired tradition, which has seen several major names written off TNA TV in similar fashion over the years.
Maclin was one of four stars who secured a briefcase. When they were finally opened on this week’s episode, Eddie Edwards scored a future World Title match, Trey Miguel landed an International Title opportunity, Eric Young got an X Division Title shot, and Maclin pulled the one case nobody wants—the pink slip.
Now, all eyes are on whether Maclin’s firing is just another plot twist—or the start of a real-life exit from TNA Wrestling. Whether this is a swerve or a legit release, Steve Maclin’s tweet made one thing clear—he’s not thrilled, and he’s already putting the word out for bookings. The door might be closed in TNA, but that inbox is wide open.
Do you think Maclin’s tweet means he’s really done with TNA? Or is this just part of the angle? Let us know your thoughts below.
