David Lagana is the driving force right now in TNA behind several key story lines, including the angle of AJ Styles leaving with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Lagana & Jason Hervey are the key directors overseeing the backstage angles. Internally most are impressed by Lagana’s efforts & are glad to see Hervey around. Hervey is considered a very likable, hard working guy. Lagana is overseeing all the day to day aspects of handling the creative writing, but has yet to be officially promoted to Vice president of Creative. Since the departure of Eric Bischoff, Lagana has been unofficially the head writer of all TNA TV. Bischoff has had zero contact with anyone in the office since being sent home almost 3 weeks ago.

TNA has also posted a job opening for a new writer/producer.
