This makes it seem like there's two separate stories: one for people getting checks cut a few days late due to the issues with Panda's Dallas HQ move, the other for people who are stuck behind 1-2 pay periods. Regardless, that's crappy no matter how you cut it: TNA management had to be aware that Panda moving it's offices around could cause logistics havoc when it comes to checks, and it's on them to be prepared for it. And if it's true that multiple talents are multiple pay periods behind, then that's a much bigger can of worms, and makes the "office issues in Dallas causing trouble" story come off more like a smokescreen.

In Panda's defense, there's a very good chance they forgot they had a wrestling company.

At this point would anyone be surprised if the wrestlers showed up for tapings, and when they got to the Impact Zone the security guard told them "Sorry guys, company's closed. The moose out front should have told you."

I don't know what to think anymore. There is always an explanation in response to bad or good spin but how many times can you read this kind of thing and not have doubt? In 2002, I didn't want to give them a chance and didn't bother to watch. I tried it in 05 and loved it until about 2012. I quit it almost all together. I follow a bit now but it seems every month there is another story out like this. I don't doubt a big parent company can cause that kind of mayhem on a smaller division, it has happened a lot. But I agree with the assertion that this looks like a smoke screen

How in the hell is this company still running?! By only paying those who don't let them get away with not doing, apparently

We might joke about this, but it is seriously shitty for a company making their workers' lives hell like this. TNA are not just financially bankrupt, they are morally bankrupt too.

I think something needs to be clear about TNA, there's only one person there who's keeping it alive single handily.
Bob Carter, he's the reason the company despite all their idiotic blunders they have made and bad decisions they still exist today. He's the only reason pretty much as he's chosen to support his useless daughter all the way through no matter how much money she wastes. Businesses, Countries, and Empires have fallen due to inept people put in charge and she's just another example. If the company was making profits and money then perhaps their future would be more secure but only two out of the thirteen years has TNA either made money or broke even. The other eleven years they have bleed money. There's not much point in keeping something that continues to lose you money, hence why Spike gave them the boot.
Bob Carter is the true lifeline of TNA, it's not if they get put on a network or do shows, it's him. The moment he croaks or steps down, that's when TNA will die. Todd Carter his heir to Panda Energy (and the only member of the family with half a brain it seems) has stated that the moment he takes over, he's pulling the plug on TNA no matter how much of a tantrum Dixie throws.

Yeah, at this rate, if Panda Energy considers any consolidation plans or changing the way the Carter estate looks at Dixie's involvement with them, they'll probably consider axing TNA the first moment they can get it. You can't just keep feeding a money loser.

You can't just keep feeding a money loser. Todd's getting everything it sounds like once Bob retires or croaks. He's going to be the one running Panda, Dixie isn't getting a thing from them as she's got nothing. And he's said in interviews that he'd pull the plug on TNA if he had the opportunity to do so.

Apparently talent finally was paid over the past weekend. It's said that the company has promised that they are going to be receiving their checks for March earlier to make up for them waiting so long.
