    Looks like maybe talent took that firing of Scott a little harder than TNA execs thought they would. It’s just a happy coincidence that a lot of them are letting their stuff expire just before 2025 when Maple Leaf is supposed to really kick off.

      Rumour is TNA asked a bunch of em to take a pay cut. Possibly to save money, possibly to bump up the lower-earners salary, not sure.

        I can’t imagine The Hardy’s, Nic Nemeth, or maybe even Top Floppa came super cheap.

        I’m a believer in TNA, but I’m also a realist and TNA is currently an indie that has TV and they remind me of ROH on Sinclair. In the demo they get roughly the same exact 0.02 every week, which is around 26.5k viewers in the 18-49 age range.

        Center Stage probably only held 500-600 people each night they were in Atlanta, let’s be generous and say they made 120k over two nights before venue costs, PPV revenue sharing, ring rental, hotels, etc, they can’t be making much if anything at all.

        So, if they are letting people leave, it tells me they are consolidating money to pay a few bigger names like Nemeth and the Hardy’s and banking on the lower card sticking around maybe for more pay. I hope for more pay. Anthem is Canadian, are Canadian corps as capitalistic as American ones? If so I doubt it’s more pay.

        /end rant… this isn’t even half of what I wrote, and it’s still not as coherent as I’d prefer, I just don’t have it in me to clean it up and keep going.

          I just wrote out 4 paragraphs which covered an ever-increasingly irate rant ranging from the Irvings totalitarian vicegrip on New Brunswick and its every sector and industry to the mass of telecom collusion and an in depth look at Ontario’s provincial corruption and federal scandals and for my mental health I am gonna stop, delete and just summarize with:

          Yes if not worse as we have fewer options for everything lol.
