Tonight is Destination X, GFW Impact's semi-Live free-per-view special.

So it somehow seems only fitting for this company, that earlier today, about 7 hours before show time, GFW's color commentator, "Pope," D'Angleo Dinero announced, via his Instagram that he would be leaving the company.

"The clock is ticking, never standing still, yet memories will come, in floods they will. This was no surprise as things began to click, when negotiations stalled because of arithmetics. In arriving hello is easy to say, in departing it's different as some will sway. But no not me as I look towards the sky, for there's a reason I've always walked with my head held high. Although the past will come trickling around and through, the future is bright with much things for me to do. So thanks to my friends and staff who showed me goodwill, because those memories are the only moments that makes the clock stand still." ~PHS #GoodBye #ThankYou #Pray4Flair #WWE #Wrestling #Sports #Entertainment #Impact #Boxing #HOF #Smile #Nothing #But #Love

Dinero wrestled for TNA from 2009-2013, having memorable matches with the likes of Samoa Joe. He came back to the company in 2015 and became their color commentator, this time using the name, Pope.
