Backstage News On TNA Falling Behind On Payments
The money problems continue in Dixieland.
Another week, another report of TNA's struggling finances. Reports over the last month or so have suggested that Dixie Carter is looking for an investor yet wants to retain control of the company, an extremely unlikely final scenario to say the least.
TNA has been falling for a while now, whoever is brave enough to put money into the product will surely want complete control of TNA.
Either way, Dave Meltzer is reporting once again that the company is falling behind on paying members of its staff. Some workers were paid in full for the last set of Impact tapings whereas others weren't, thanks in part to an issue with paycheques. TNA blamed it on a snafu, and promised that cheques would be mailed out the next day. Needless to say, they weren't.
PWTorch has also reported that the pay issues go as far back as the January tapings of this year, with disgruntled production workers told that they will be replaced in summer, in an attempt to bring in folk who haven't had to deal with TNA's issue yet.
TNA truly does seem to be suffering from the most virulent of cancers. It is never good to see wrestlers lose an option when it comes to finding work, but something needs to change and it needs to change soon.
