Steve Maclin has been through it all since he joined TNA Wrestling (TNA) in 2021.

He’s feuded with major stars in pro wrestling like Nic Nemeth, Josh Alexander, Moose, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin and Mike Santana just to name a few. He’s a two-time TNA international champion and an Impact world champion.

Amid a recent wave of stars joining the free-agent market over the last two weeks, Maclin shared why anyone should consider TNA as a potential landing spot for the future.

“TNA has always been under the radar. It’s kinda been that land of misfit toys where you can go and reinvent yourself or invent yourself as a new character in general and kinda show the world who you are,” he told Fox News Digital. “TNA has always been giving me that opportunity, especially the day that I hit the ground running in TNA Wrestling, I haven’t stopped – becoming the world champion, becoming the first TNA international champion, and now, hopefully coming back and going back after the world title as well.

“It’s a place where you can grow and it’s a place that’s kinda that locker room that everyone has always been looking for and it’s that family orientation. And it’s said a lot in the world of pro wrestling but it’s very family oriented where we all take care of each other no matter how good or bad the creative is or how the upper echelon is, the locker room always takes care of the locker room. They’re the ones that make bad creative look like its good creative on television.”

Maclin has also been afforded the opportunity to run a benefit event with his wife, fellow pro wrestling champion Deonna Purrazzo, to help give back to veteran and first-responders.

Maclin and Purrazzo will host the Battle for the Brave on June 6 in support of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Maclin served with the U.S. Marines.

“It’s a great cause just because that entire New York/New Jersey area, the Tri-State area, has really been affected by 9/11. It affected both of our lives,” Maclin told Fox News Digital in a story published earlier this week. “I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2005. It just affected everyone. So, especially a lot of the talent that’s on the card as well, everybody has some type of story or link toward 9/11.

“And with Tunnel to Towers, a lot of people in that area love the cause and love what Tunnel to Towers does for the community by giving back to first responders’ families, paying off mortgages, smart homes for veterans who have been wounded and now paying off college tuitions for first responders’ and veterans’ families who have lost some loved ones.”

TNA airs weekly programming Thursday nights at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

The family of a missing Arizona State student is pleading for help after he vanished during a Grand Canyon trip just days before graduation.

Sandarsh Krishna, 26, was last heard from on April 27, when he told relatives he was traveling to Las Vegas with a stop at the South Rim. He was expected back in time for final exams and a job interview, but never returned.

“We haven’t had any success in finding him,” his sister-in-law, Pooja Shivananjappa, told Fox 10 Phoenix.

According to the National Park Service, Krishna’s last known location was along the Rim Trail off Hermit Road, between Bright Angel Lodge and Mohave Point, sometime between 4 p.m. on April 27 and 12 a.m. on April 28.

Investigators say Krishna, who had no known vehicle, may have been using a rideshare or taxi service. His cell phone data has not moved since the day he disappeared, according to his family.

“They’re doing the best they can, but unfortunately we do not have the exact location to see where he went missing,” Shivananjappa told the outlet.

GOT A TIP?

Search efforts have ramped up across the South Rim, with more than 30 search and rescue personnel deployed over several days.

Rangers are continuing to focus on the area along Hermit Road and surrounding sections of the rim as the search remains ongoing.

Officials say Krishna was last seen wearing athletic clothing and is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall with a thin build, weighing about 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Investigators also say Krishna was believed to be carrying a black backpack before he disappeared. That backpack was later turned in to hotel staff at Bright Angel Lodge early on April 28.

Rangers are now working to identify and speak with the individual who turned in the backpack, saying the person may have information that could help narrow the search area. Authorities emphasized the individual is not considered a suspect.

His family says they have also hired a private investigator as the search continues.

Krishna moved to Arizona from India in 2024 to pursue a master’s degree in computer science at ASU and was set to graduate May 9, the family told Fox 10 Phoenix. Loved ones describe him as bright, kind and deeply connected to his family.

“It’s impossible to not like him,” Shivananjappa said. “He has a helping hand… he has the heart of a kid.”

Anyone who may have seen Krishna or has information about his whereabouts between April 27 and April 28 is urged to contact the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch tip line at 888-653-0009.
