I’ve read reports of recent TNA releases including those we reported here crediting the others who originated the reports.
One key clarification is that the talent noted, Petey Williams, Jimmy Rave & Lance Rock/Hoyt, were not "released," rather each will not be renewed by TNA when current contracts are up.
All are still currently under contract and are listed on the TNA website roster page.
TNA rarely announces when talent leaves the company, and does not "wish them well in future endeavors" like WWE.
Obviously TNA ran an angle where Petey lost a match and his job, which will air on 2-19, so until then he’s part of the company’s TV product, and has a match with Scott Steiner this Thursday on iMPACT.
Jimmy Rave is still being promoted to appear for TNA on Feb 20 in Macon, GA.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20: MACON, GA
The superstars of Total Nonstop Action (TNA) will bring the “Main Event Mafia Respect Tour” to Macon, Georgia at the Macon Centreplex Coliseum on Friday, February 20.

It ain’t over til it’s over.
