TNA Continues To Piss People Off
"PWInsider.com's Buck Woodward reported this afternoon that
NWA-TNA is attempting to institute yet another policy for their
contracted wrestlers that may well further limit their options for
independent bookings.

Sources inside NWA-TNA told Woodward that "the internal
management team" is attempting to implement a policy that
starting with shows in June, all contracted talent that is
booked on a non-TNA independent show will be subjected to
a 15% booking fee, payable to TNA.

In addition to that, TNA is also implementing a 50% deposit for
bookings to be payable to NWA-TNA, once a promoter books a
talent.

Woodward posted this scenario: "If a wrestler is signed to work a
show for $1,000, there will be a $150 fee payable to TNA, raising
the total outlay for the promoter to $1,150, & $575 will be payable
the day the booking is made (even if the actual show does not take
place for months down the line)."

As a real life example, Woodward stated that, since Raven's
standard payoff is $1,500 per indy appearance.This would mean
Raven would need to get $1,725 from a promoter to net the
$1,500 that he got before, or raise his fee (which he would still
be losing a chunk of to TNA).

Woodward's article did not state whether Japan dates were also
included in this demand of TNA. If this were the case, TNA would
be attempting to get money out of much larger Japanese offices
with talent such as Christopher Daniels and Sonjay Dutt."

WAY TO GO

Well, I wouldn't want other promotions making mass money off of my contracted talent either if I was a promoter....

true but the exposure for your guy else where could bring more potential fans to wach that guy in your promotion as well.

Kind of good and yet kind of bad

This move works when you're successful. I think it still might be a bit too early for them to be doing this, since they aren't exactly stable right now.

The FSN contract isn't even final and TNA is getting its Vince McMahon on.

It is bad for them,and even worse for some of the talent though.

What could happen is, promoters won't want to/be able to book
the guys like they used to - costing the guys a check - and like
SS said,TNA loses out on potential viewers.

I think it is a bad move at this point and time. Problem with TNA
is,there are too many politicians around there - and they are not
even anywhere near the size of WWE. Imagine if they had a REAL
television deal
