TNA talent were paid to day Wednesday/Thursday. Apparently production people might get paid ever as their debt will die in the old TNA company. January 1st begins the Anthem ownership. https://twitter.com/SoDuTw/status/815378091329589250

This is not how things work. Just because a company has new ownership the debts don't just disappear in to the ether, they still have to be paid.

Someone who worked in production told me whether they get paid full, in part or not at all is still a question for whatever it is worth.

If Anthem is only buying certain parts of the company like WWE did with WCW it might become an issue where expendable employees think they are going to be hosed with the debts made part of the previous company which will declare bankruptcy. There are laws in place to prevent this, but I wouldn't be shocked if the production people are worried they may be forced to go to court and end up with pennies on the dollar.

WWE didn't buy WCW as an ongoing concern, they bought the rights to the name, the tape library and 20 contracts. Anthem is purchasing TNA with the intent to carry on business. Pretty big difference.

yeah but Anthem could say otherwise, as part of a bid to either force the debt to be restructured or dropped completely.

Anthem has bought a new company created last year that is technically separate from the original TNA. While they aren't going to be able to get rid of their debts this way I can understand why some people would expect to get screwed.

There is a live One Night Only pay-per-view this Friday night. Also a "live" Impact on POP this week but of course there's no mention of either on their website or Twitter listing on what's on either.

Accrding to PWInsider, this is the insane taping schedule they're doing, starting Thursday.

quote:

TNA will kick off 2017 with a LOT of TV tapings at Universal Studios Orlando. The promotion will be filming, we are told, 12 episodes of Impact as well as material for Xplosion and One Night Only PPVs on Soundstage 20.

The company will hold a live One Night Only PPV this Friday 1/6 at 8 PM on traditional PPV outlets as well as streaming starting live on the Fite App, which you can download for free to your desktop, cell phone, Samsung Smart TV, iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices by clicking here.

PWInsider.com is seeking spoiler reports from the tapings, which are scheduled for:

Thursday 1/5 at 7 PM ("live" Impact Wrestling, which will air same evening)

Friday 1/6 at 7 PM (One Night Only PPV airs at 8 PM live)

Saturday 1/7 at 1 PM

God drat the Impact Wrestling site is sad. It's just a rotating big banner image that doesn't even fit the page and has words superimposed on top so you can't even read legibly. Also they finally removed the roster page as they could never keep it current and the current state of the roster would likely look very pathetic.

The TNA Shop auctions page is pretty funny though - http://stores.ebay.com/ShopTNA-TNA-IMPACT-Wrestling
