Water is still wet (TNA pay issues)

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

The never-ending pay issues are that now the checks come six weeks after the appearance and some guys now, since Impact is booking guys for indie dates, are mad at losing their own indie dates where they’ll get paid that night and working indie dates for Impact where they’ll be paid six weeks later instead.

Not quite as bad as owing dudes high five figures but oh man is that not a good indicator of damn near anything. What about paying people six weeks later doesn't reek of "Money is dire right now and we're playing a nightmarish juggling act to keep it together"? Even worse is that this says six weeks after the appearance, not after the booking. Previously you were paid by TNA for an episode the week it went up on the basis that each episode is an appearance and that's the scale, and by the way I'm reading it, now you wait a month and a half after that episode airs. Wasn't it only a week or two ago that TNA started airing the January taping block instead of the November one from Ottawa? That means that for a week of work people did in November, they'll be getting paid for the last of it in early f***ing March.

Even if it is only six weeks after the booking itself, that's still insane and not a good sign of anything. What financial sorcery do they have to work to justify that kind of thing? This is the kind of thing having a parent company with money is supposed to avert.

I dunno, there's gotta be some Canadian rock star into wrestling that Anthem can exploit. How's Chad Kroeger been with his money?

Maybe Alanis Morissette is a mark?

I remember making fun of anthem not paying the guys and was told in this forum that I was wrong that the issues were taken care off, that Nordholm actually paid the guys. I'm owed an apology hahahah.

Six weeks without getting paid, holy shit! How is Callis gonna explain this bullshit?

F this company. They don't care about the talent and the household bills they have

Yeah, the longer this goes on, the more and more I think the idea of putting a second string manager and fifth string indy promoter in charge was a terrible idea.

And quietly I sit smug.

I said Callis made no sense in the role, that lots of guys he's worked with have issues with him and no experience in the role, and was told by others I was wrong, so I believed them. Yep.

Callis had to quit the business because he failed as a manager. Now he's the English announcer for New Japan, thing is most fans only hear the Japanese broadcast haha. Meanwhile D'Amore is just some indy promoter that never drew a dime. By that token Ian Rotten and Alabama Doink should also run tna.

This company is allergic to success

I know most people here hate Nickelback but I wouldn't wish TGINFMPAAWCT on ANYONE.

[The Dark Order Inferno]

I bet they eventually try and blame Borash since he's gone and unlikely to argue with them in public and jeopardise his new job.
