And why do people think that the schedule means sooooo much more. WWE was, from what I understand, bringing him in for a short run. Same as TNA would do. Plus Sapp basically lives in Japan so it's like trying to sign any other wrestler from over there. Trust me, if WWE couldn't get Sapp, TNA won't unless they pony up cash they just don't have to throw around. Sometimes, money isn't the whole deal. The easier schedule might actually still let him do his thing in Japan while employed, something that WWE probably didn't offer him. He might get the same from doing this TNA thing and keeping up his Japanese stuff. Ok, even if Sapp accepts, it's going to be, at minimum, another $500,000 payday, which is the top salary that they have right now. Not to mention that Sapp is a) not all that over in America and B) is a god-awful wrestler. Sure he's entertaining, but will a mainstream American audience buy into him. If they can get him for a reasonable amount (less than $100,000) than maybe. But they should worry more about locking young guys up to exclusive deals and building said young talent for the future rather than blowing money on people to try to pop a buyrate or move up .1 in the ratings.
