Don West has given the company notice and will be leaving soon. West has been with TNA since it started in 2002. He was a commentator before becoming the head of TNA merchandise in the summer of 2009.

West was replaced by Taz in the announcer's position in August 2011. West then went on the road full-time with autograph signings and doing "Don West Deals" at the shows. West would mention deals inside the ring and at the merchandise table.

TNA say that it will be "near impossible" to replace West's skills for selling merchandise. West will now focus on his website, Wild West Deals (WildWestDeals.com).
