*Seth Rollins is the Shield member with Heat. Most notably with the Big show. *Some good new talent was set to debut, but he did something that pissed off management and his debut has been delayed. *TNA is losing 1.2 million a month from going on the road. *Universal Studios has already sold the iMpact zone to a new show. *TNA's late payments include Hulk Hogan. From the Pollock and Bauer show: datav3.fightnetwork.com/blog/39961.mp3 |

Rollins has NUCLEAR HEATZ? Big Show really does have a WMD.

Rollins has obviously been spotted wearing the Big Show's snake necktie and good new talent has been walking around in a fur coat and gold chains.

That 1.2M was for something else, but I don't feel like listening to the whole show again to find out what it was. I'll fix it later when I have some time to re-listen. |

The Universal Studios renting the Impact Zone out to somebody else is most likely true according to Meltzer. Other than that I can't say.

Is it 600k per taping with two tapings per show? Those numbers add up right. |

The 600K is probably mostly location rental and travel/equipment transportation. Now, I dunno if the talent gets paid twice, once per taping. But I doubt that makes it another 600K for the second taping. |

TNA bringing in Master P was a huge mistake!

Rollins left a floater in Big Show's personal bus toilet.

*TNA is losing 1.2 million a show from going on the road. No way. That makes absolutely no sense. Really? They ran shows from 1 location for years. Rates for that were probably good. I don't believe there was a charge for tickets ever (a friend literally walked in for free a year or 2 ago). They didn't have to worry about any budget for transporting equipment or personnel. They have to pay new (varying, probably increased) rates for these arenas. And there's probably have an extra cost for new local people to help run them for the nights they're around. Plus TNA seems very lousy with money anyway. That figure may be kinda high (or not - I'd think someone like Bauer would know better than most?), but I'm sure they're losing a boatload per show and I know that newsbyte has been out there for a long time. |

Why do we trust Court Bauer about any of this? A former writer and promoter who hasn't been involved in jack shit for years, other than stuff like this, is going to know better than anyone because why?

Because he, like Dave Meltzer and unlike most people that report this sort of thing, has sources? |

As fun as it can be to team up on TNA I really have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they're not spending over one million dollars per show. I don't know how you weigh the pros and the cons of leaving the Impact Zone, with one of the cons on the list being you lose one million dollars a week and still sign off on it, and it were an unexpected consequence of going on the road, I don`t know how someone keeps his job after getting his numbers off that bad. I can`t imagine firing the likes of Joey Ryan and Crimson would even put a dent in that. |

I can see losing some-odd thousands each show, but if TNA was losing a million dolars every two weeks they'd probably be out of business right now. Hell, if WWE was doing that they'd probably be completely panicking.

For real, this guy couldn't even beat Vince in an drag race in the Titan Towers parking lot, why should I believe him? |
