Author’s take

For those unaware, John Gaburick has long been one of the key backstage personalities in Impact Wrestling, and him leaving the company may indeed come as a shock to most hardcore professional wrestling fans.

On the other hand, Dutch Mantel (better known for his work in the WWE as Zeb Colter), has had a rather brief tenure with the company, all while joining during what has been a rough phase for Impact Wrestling.
