TNA Telling Wrestlers They Are Looking For New TV Deal?

By John Canton / July 16, 2015

The future of TNA Wrestling on American television remains very much in doubt with strong rumours that they will be removed from Destination American this September. New details from the Wrestling Observer state that TNA talents have apparently being told that the company is looking for a new TV deal. It was also mentioned to TNA's wrestlers that they don't have to worry because the money that TNA makes from international deals will keep them going while they try to find a new television home in the United States. Since TNA has trimmed most of the big contracts down and other high priced performers have left the company (James Storm, Austin Aries and Magnus are recent examples), they have at least made an effort to save some money. Wrestlers were also told that the company's business model was changing, which likely means more "per appearance" type deals instead of signing people to multi-year deals for guaranteed money.

The big question that stems from all of this is what network would want to pick up a show that has been dropped by two networks in a year? Since Spike TV moved on in December and TNA's run on Destination America could be done after nine months, tt will be a tough sell. If they don't find a permanent home in the US then TNA's future really would be in doubt. Their next tapings take place from July 22-25 and July 26-30. Some of them will be Impact episodes while others will be "One Night Only" PPV style tapings.
