Was Don Callis fired from IMPACT Wrestling?
DURING All Elite Wrestling's Full Gear event, Don Callis made his AEW debut as a special commentator during the Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page match. Since November 2020, Callis has been an advisor to Omega on AEW, even helping the Canadian wrestler capture the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley. Callis is a retired Canadian wrestler himself. Signed to IMPACT Wrestling, Callis now takes up the role of a wrestling manager and color commentator. As a former wrestler, Callis spent most of his career performing as either Cyrus or Don Callis. He first gained international attention working under the name The Jackyl for the World Wrestling Federation/ now WWE. 3 Callis' time as executive vice president of IMPACT Wrestling came to an end on June 17 Credit: Twitter  He is most notably recognized for his work with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where he served as an English language commentator on NJPW World. In 2017, Callis became the executive vice president and commentator for IMPACT Wrestling. During the June 17 edition of IMPACT Wrestling, Tommy Dreamer informed Calls that he was fired. This move was expected for months, as Callis was mostly being used as an on-screen character on IMPACT and AEW as Omegas manager. Despite his "firing," Callis will be staying on as an on-air talent by Omega, who currently holds the AEW World Championship as well as IMPACT World champion. During his announcement, Dreamer also reinstated Sami Callihan - after IMPACT's other executive vice president Scott D'Amore fired Callihan. The move clears the path for Callihan to challenge Omega for the Impact Championship at the IMPACT Slammiversary pay-per-view on July 17. IMPACT Wrestling airs live Thursdays at 8pm on AXS TV.
