2. TNAs 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, hes out of the company. While overall TNAs trip to Destination America has been pretty solid from an entertainment standpoint, it seems that the companys 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 isnt 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. Its not just on-air talent, as Brian Fritz of The Sporting News reported that many production team members still havent 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 its 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.
