"I started sending text messages before the show was over, like looking for people that might want to support and invest in an acquisition of TNA. So then I worked on that for a few weeks, and I remember I sent the the offer to Len Asper, uh, from the balcony of the Jericho cruise."
D'Amore disclosed he began assembling investors for a TNA buyout attempt within 20 minutes of his final Impact taping in Orlando, ultimately transmitting the formal offer to Anthem owner Len Asper while aboard the Jericho cruise ship. The detail underscores how quickly D'Amore pivoted from grief to aggressive action after his dismissal.
