TNA In Big Financial Trouble, Talent Reaching Out To WWE

[Silkk]

According to The Wrestling Observer, it is currently costing TNA approximately $600,000 per taping to film Impact Wrestling on the road, and that large expense is the primary reason why TNA is facing financial problems right now, and as a result has had to cut numerous contracts recently.

TNA President Dixie Carter recently said in an interview that if TNA had taken Impact on the road in earlier years it could have risked the future of the company, however the decision to do it now hasn't really paid off as there has been no significant increase in ratings or revenue.

Currently, TNA has made a long term commitment to taping Impact on the road, and even if the company were to decide to return to taping the show in Orlando, FL, the Impact Zone is unavailable as Universal Studios has a new tenant occupying the soundstage.

There have been major backstage issues in TNA with talent being paid late, and it's being said that even Hulk Hogan has been subject to late pay by TNA.

According to reports, several TNA talents have been sending out feelers via their WWE friends to see if the company would be interested in bringing them in.

Sting probably is the only TNA guy they're eager to grab up, angle would most likely be offered a Y2J/RVD deal

Bryan, Punk, and Aries...the 3 best in world

Poppa Carter really bout to run up in the impact zone with a baseball bat

Motherfukkers bout start pimpin out knockouts to fans to keep the company afloat

Sting probably is the only TNA guy they're eager to grab up, angle as well

Why would they want a guy who could drop dead/get paralyzed for life in the ring at any point in their company? Especially when it's clear that he hasn't cleared up his problems.

Money didn't talk enough to keep that near cripple in WWE in 2006, did it? I not sure they touch him if they get the chance.

If Angle weren't a wreck, I'd be all for seeing him back in WWE. But I'm not trying to see him fall apart in the ring. I want to see this guy retire or slide into a non-wrestling role, not try for one last WWE run.

Last thing WWE needs is another wrestler dropping dead while under contract over drugs/heart/steroid issues.

WTF!!!??!!!! $600K per taping on the road and TNA is not getting prime venues?
