How TNA looks with that 'but we did offer him a six figure deal' shit:
$180,000 over three years? Thats not a bad offer for a non WWE company.

Next, Impact's going to make him a millionaire by offering him $50,000 a year for 20 years.

The money isn't even my concern there, it's that chucklef*** "It's totally a six figure deal--over three years!" note that just does not help anything. |

Guess he's pissed that Tessa Blanchard does earn six figures. She earns the same as Sting did. Rob Van Dam is making more money than he did in his previous run.

I guess it doesn't matter what people are making, nobody acting in good faith says 'You want six figures? Here, we'll pay out six figures over the course of this three year deal" and then goes to a journalist saying "I dunno what he was so upset about, we offered him six figures". I don't know enough about the dude or his work to know if he's worth that or not, but the company can still be doing something dumb and dishonest within the confines of being right for not giving him that money. |

Yes, when you say something like "we're offering you six figures" in the context of a salary, that means at least $100k a year, not "we'll pay you all these smaller amounts over the course of X years but it adds up to six figures!"

What bad PR? a moron like Sean Sapp? If they released him it would set precedent. Shit talk people on social media to get your release. Nah.

Bad PR in that you gave an appaling contract to a guy, in which you can keep him for 2 years and not pay him because its per appearance. And are now no longer using him and are going to keep him in limbo for the next two years.
Also, not understanding what a 6 figure deal generally means.

It is astounding to me that anyone could possibly think TNA are the good guys in this situation. Even if they were initially, refusing to book him and pressuring the AAA not to do so is just being monstrous. You're basically trying to keep the guy from making a living out of spite.

Kross story was updated
Ok so first offer was the 40K,60K and 80K, 2nd offer was higher and Kross declined(though I wonder how different was 2nd deal compared to the first one).

And keeping him goes to show to anyone on the fence about signing with Impact that if you have any grievances with your job, they'll deliberately sabotage your livelihood out of spite. There is absolutely nothing to win from keeping him hostage. |

Not to mention bad PR in that the talking point has been that the old management who will gleefully f*** with your contract, play petty games, and then shittalk you and go "UM ACTUALLY" to the dirtsheets when they get bad press is gone. This feels way more like the old playbook all over again. I don't know where Sapp features into this, but this is on PWInsider right now. "What bad press?" when Mike Johnson is feeding new info constantly feels baffling to me, TNA needs to put an end to this saga and let the story die. The fact someone saw "Oh wait f*** that old number makes us look like clowns UM I PROMISE IT WAS MUCH HIGHER THOSE WERE OLD NUMBERS" is getting embarrassing. To anyone not cooking up conspiracy theories that KM is trying to orchestrate some weird media smear campaign so he can get a hefty cut of Kross's booking fees and that the whole situation has been engineered with lies, the company looks like f***ing doofs right now. |

I mean, the easiest solution to all this is to make all your talent employees so you can legally pay them and also come to a more amicable solution to these matters involving not paying them redundancy or whatever it may be.
It's not likely since they're a much smaller company than WWE and that'd cost more money but, you know, that's the solution, pro wrestling.

$80K for 5 or 6 days a month for a year? Count me in! Kross f***ed up, and PWInsider have exposed him for being greedy. If Impact released him it would set a bad precedent to other wrestlers. Kross is not worth the six figures he is after.
