West had been with the company since it was founded in 2002 and served as a lead announcer along with Mike Tenay until he was replaced by Taz. He has also been the head of TNA's merchandise department since 2009, a role West was so good at that TNA sources have said will be nearly impossible to find somebody to fill his shoes.
West, who first got national television exposure as the zany pitchman for the Shop At Home network, brought his unique brand of sales skills on the road with TNA, including his idea to set up a merchandise table inside the ring and offer other unique deals.
As noted before, Don West is leaving TNA and is expected to finish up this month.
West is leaving because he was offered a job as the new General Manager of the Wenatcheee Wild hockey team in Wenatchee, Washington.
West was offered a great deal that he couldn't turn down. He will be involved in all aspects of the team. West is leaving TNA on good terms with everyone and there is no heat on him for leaving.
