It makes sense in that Daniels and Styles are probably significantly more expensive and likely refused the pay cut that Anderson accepted, and likely James Storm as well. Daniels' had an interview with Alvarez. He repeatedly says "I wasn't making that much" in response to questions about TNA cutting big contracts. Probably not, but I doubt these guys are making a whole either for the most part. The company's in a bad way right now.

It makes no sense at all that their signing these guys who have done absolutely nothing like Bram & Spud to multi-year deals, yet they get rid of Styles & Daniels. I guess the bright side is at least this means that TNA has no intentions of shutting down anytime soon if their signing talents to multi-year contracts. To me, the more wrestling on TV the better regardless of the quality of the show at times. It's going to be interesting though to see if SPIKE TV keeps TNA on past this fall when their contract is up. It makes sense in that Daniels and Styles are probably significantly more expensive and likely refused the pay cut that Anderson accepted, and likely James Storm as well. True, but Bram is unproven & Spud is just a comedy character. That's why it makes no sense to sign them to these long contracts. They still should have done everything in their power to at least keep Styles around regardless of the pay. TNA really screwed up in the fact that they always relied on already established main event stars from other companies at the forefront, when they should have mainly been relying on the TNA original guys to be the future of the company. Right now in my opinion it should really be Roode, Styles, Joe, & Daniels in the main event scene. You could throw in Bully Ray as well since he became a credible singles star in TNA, not WWE or ECW. And I'll throw in MVP as well, since I personally always felt he was main event caliber, but never got the opportunity in WWE, but now he's finally getting that chance in TNA. Those 6 guys fighting for the title would have been awesome. Right now the only newer talent who has potential to be a main event star is EC3. Hopefully they don't screw up with him too.

I found funny that they put emphasis on "multi year deals" when normally those are announced only with big names

TNA and Gaburick's latest strategy continues. They've ripped off the Daniel Bryan storyline, they're trying to turn Bully Ray into Stone Cold, they've introduced a weird stable lead by a bearded man, and now they're bringing in one half of... The Ascension. Just wait till they re-debut Percy Watson as a CJ Parker rip-off. Then the heat will truly be on. environmentalism? >_> <_< OH YEAH!

What ever happened to Mr. Company Man, I make a ton of money, I don't know what you internet smarks are talking about low pay, Mannix?
What they got him to bullshit himself through an interview threw him a hundo and he's back working at Chuck E Cheese as a birthday singer?

Won't be shocked if he's on the chop block.

I, for one, think it's ridiculous that TNA is acting like they have signed two different characters when it's the same guy. Bram is clearly f***ing Gunner! But is it incest when it's your own clone?

I hope it is real and not just some storyline crap. Spud has gone from someone that had me questioning why they'd even bother with to a highlight of the show. I'd love to see him get like a tag title run with ECIII or even X title run. He'll I'd say he'll never be World Champion but well, I thought the same about EY. I'd like to see him win the KO Championship. It's only a matter of time and it's past overdue for Andy Kaufman type character.

What like our TNA champion EY who was wrestling women 2 years ago and held the women's tag belt till it was retired? We need another Andy Kaufman type character...our champ was one a little over a year ago.

They should sign Brittany to a 5-year contract.
