TNA presented No Surrender on Friday, February 23rd.
The second pay-per-view under the revanped brand, the show aired live from the Alario Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The show aired following the newsworthy actions behind the scenes a couple of weeks prior, which saw former President Scott D’Amore terminated. The talent wrote an open letter to Anthem management to express their displeasure at the change in structure.
As reported by Fightful, Eric Young led the locker room ahead of the show and said the following to the live fans in attendance:
“Change. What does that word mean to you? What is change in life, in sport, in business? See, change can be tricky because for everybody, it can be completely different. There’s one thing that I know for sure since my time has started on this planet, and that is nothing is guaranteed. The only thing for sure is that things will change. It is the only promise this universe gives any of us. All we can do is adapt, pivot, and absorb that change and do our absolute best. Now, TNA Wrestling’s surrender has been promised over and over.l and over again, by everyone. It’s been promised by people in this building right now. Yet here we all are. The wrestlers, the crew, the producers, everybody that makes this place go, and most importantly, the lifeblood of this place, you, the fans. Still breathing, still living, and in truth, still thriving. Bear with me guys, this is difficult. This is an amazing place, filled with amazing people. Sometimes, you lose something. You lose someone, and the next step is grief. Then after that, after a while, the next step is, you have one of two choices. You could be lost with them, or you could move forward. That’s what we’re going to do. That’s what we’ve always done. We’re going to move forward. That’s what we need. That’s what they would want. That’s what is necessary. This place, this world, this universe, it’s bigger than all of us. We all want the same thing. We want this place to thrive. We want it to be seen. We want it to be respected. We want it to be loved. So I say this. To anybody that stands in our way, anybody that would oppose us, anybody asking for our unbiased surrender, now I want this part because we’re not on TV, I want it to be crystal-fucking-clear. This place, these people, you guys, TNA, there will be no surrender,”
