or Sting, Taz, Anderson

You won't get me to say otherwise...its true.

Regarding the TNA pay issues, it is reportedly not just talent getting paid late but office staff too.


A source says that it would “surprise you greatly” to learn who has been paid late.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Meltzer said a headliner told him he was several weeks behind on pay.

[JimLeavy59]

???? What is that company doing? If things are that bad they need to cut Bully Ray, Devon and the rest of Aces and 0.8's, Angle, and Hogan and Sting. If the financial situation is that bad you need to start from the top when getting rid of salary or SELL THE FUCKING COMPANY.

[EmpireWF]

LMAO

[JimLeavy59]

Epic.


Oh and some asshole tried telling me Bo Dallas has talent.

No, it honestly doesn't after these cuts. The writing on the wall started when they cut down to four live PPVs. What doesn't make sense is why they took Impact on the road with their financial situation. I'm sure they are paying more in rent and travel costs to go elsewhere than just flying everyone into Orlando for most of the shows.

I also understand to an extent having to cut some of the lower talent, because they are already so much behind on some of their headliners, and I am sure that, outside of Sting, they've signed some guys to long-term deals that they can't get out of yet. Why they all of the sudden stopped pushing Ryan or York is beyond me, because they had some solid mid-card talent there (and they had York booked into a major program with Hardy and then with RVD in the X-Division.) And of course, pushing Sting for the infinite time over Morgan for the World Title was stupid as well. They've just made a bunch of small mistakes, but it all adds up.

If I'm VKM, I'm putting money aside if I haven't started already. If I am Dixie Carter and whoever else owns/runs TNA, I'm looking for a backer with heavy pockets, no matter the cost. It's all about survival right now, even if you do have to sell out- what matters for them is not selling out to VKM.

But they are already backed by Panda Energy...who ain't close to broke.

Backed sure but its obvious they aren't pumping the amount of coin needed to keep this show on the road.

[SuperKevin]

OH NO. Not Gimmick Infringement

LOL. The only name worse than Suicide is Manic

[SuperKevin]

If TNA does fold, it's going to be a shame to know that Daniels and Kazarian will have nowhere to go.

[JimLeavy59]

I forgot Impact was even on tonight.

[SuperKevin]

Oh and in typical TNA fashion, they are spelling it Manik.

God this company is stuck in 1998
