And it's still between the ears of several people there, I see.

BREAKING NEWS Scott Stapp to become majority shareholder in Impact Wrestling Without any indication of humor, I could 100% buy that as a real thing.

Well there goes my one and only defense of "at least pay isn't an issue anymore".

I like people who say "Well, say whatever you want about TNA, but at least they let people out of their contracts when it's requested" ... uh yeah, probably because they can't even afford to pay them when they're actually DOING things, paying them to do nothing seems even stupider.
Say what you will about how WWE handles contracts, but at least you know whenever someone's riding out their contract, they're still getting paid whatever the agreed upon amount was.

BOARD MEMBER #1: Har har har TNA can't pay their talent on time. BOARD MEMBER #2: But actually, TNA hasn't had pay issues since Anthem took over. BOARD MEMBER #1: Oh, uh, well, I guess... Well...

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. 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. Callis didn't fail as a manager, he was the only good thing about the Truth Commission, he was one of the best things about late ECW, he left TNA in 2004 because he got a better job and was then busy with that for 13 years before returning to wrestling. You laugh at the small scope of the English announce team of NJPW World as if you're shocked that a Japanese company with Japanese wrestlers who speak Japanese to their predominantly Japanese fanbase has more people watching the Japanese stream. I'll agree with D'Amore though, the state of his ropes.

A manager's deal isn't to be the only cool thing about their charge's act. It's to elevate the act to be as cool as him. Callis failed in that. I'd argue that it wasn't entirely his fault, but yeah, the dude's a career second stringer who got the keys to the kingdom out of nowhere.

Then I applaud him for finding a job out of wrestling, but that meant he couldn't make a good living in wrestling.

TNA could figure out a way to ruin a Kenny Omega vs. Okada match.
Damn they suck.

What I meant was he was the only member with any form of talent, and he did try to put his guys over, just no way was he going to get Kurrgan over.

In terms of making a living, he made a good enough living to get a college degree while on the indies post-ECW.

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? Legit, your post was the first thing I thought of when I saw this title.

It doesn't matter who you put in charge of tna. You can bring back Eddie Graham and Fritz Von Erich from the death and they wouldn't be able to turn the company around because TNA operates on a failed business model. Here's why TNA will lose money every time they open the f***ing doors. 1. They run the shows in an amusement park and can't sell entrances so their live event gates have always been and will always be negative. 2. They have to split their ad revenue with Pop TV in a barter system. They already have a minuscule audience and the only get to keep half of what they get for ads practically nothing. Unless those two things get corrected it will always be a dumpster fire of a promotion.

If it is every six weeks that means they are getting paid after that block of tapings air which is old news. Dixie paid (well, when she paid) after each episode a talent was on aired and Anthem was changing it to one payment for the entire set. Same amount of money, just distributed differently.
The indie pay stuff is still bullshit though.
