WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 19)

2. TNA€™s Inability To Pay

Something sounded a little bit different on TNA Impact this week. It was a lot of Josh Matthews, and a lack of chuckling from the Human Suplexing Machine. After spending over five years in TNA, he€™s out of the company. While overall TNA€™s trip to Destination America has been pretty solid from an entertainment standpoint, it seems that the company€™s financial troubles have somehow carried over. It came to a new low when Taz skipped out on the voiceover session due to not receiving a paycheck. This isn€™t an indie promotion, this is a weekly televised two hour show on a large cable network not paying the guy who talks the second most on the show! Imagine an NFL team not paying one of their players. It€™s not just on-air talent, as Brian Fritz of The Sporting News reported that many production team members still haven€™t been paid from an event they worked over two months ago. Others wrestlers like Havok, Manik and Matt Hardy have taken to social media to defend TNA, but it€™s an embarrassing situation the company put themselves in. Hopefully TNA can use this opportunity to freshen up their announce team, and this time not forget to pay them.
