News Bad Influence contracts ending soon

[Testify]

PWInsider Elite:

" - There has been even more talk this past week of new talents coming in and more talents leaving as their deals expire."

I hope to fuck this doesn't mean what I think it means, as it instantly reminded me of Kaz & Daniels.

Idk man, it could very well be.
Didn't they completely bury Daniels' other character, Curry Man on Thursday? Not sure if that is a piece of the puzzle but maybe they could be prepping for a departure.

If Kaz and Daniels end up leaving, the tag team division will suffer such an amazing blow. Those two have so much talent and charisma, and they can still work in the ring, so there's no reason to sacrifice them for younger talent.

Don't know, but there's a rumor of new Kenny King & Manik tag team floating around, so they might end up replacing Bad Inf. if they leave.

Oh god, Kenny King and Manik would be interesting imo, so I have no problem with that.

As for my sig, I have another gif from that match that I wanna use, but I don't have 4000$ so I have to wait on that.

IF BI leaves (I hope not, though) then we would have Wolves, Bromans, Dewey & Norv, possibly Manik & King... Still not good enough of a division it used to be.

Can I send you my 2.5k? I don't give a shiz about it, so whatever. Don't know how to send though.

Oh wow that would be super nice, you send it by clicking the money amount, then transfer, and then ya type the amount to send to my name.

Back to topic: The tag team division is slowly becoming the new X Division. I swear. Both division are without talent, and both aren't really cared about atm. Releasing Bad Influence is a prime example of that. Unlike the X division, I still have faith in the Tag Team division though. Hopefully something good happens soon.

Jesus fucking Christ.

1) Why do they handle contracts so poorly? Why is it that negotiations with these guys haven't started MONTHS ago? They need to learn how to handle their top talent.
2) If they do go, it isn't just a blow for their tag-team division. It's a blow for the whole company.

I hate to call TNA a sinking ship and I despise reading TNA haters say that, but if they let these two go then the direction of the company is definitely heading south after the Styles situation. Resign these guys TNA and give them whatever they want.

1) How do you know the negotiations haven't already started? I wanna know.
2) I agree.

I hate TNA's guts for releasing so many great guys over the years, but still not once have I called it a Titanic or similar because there's always new talent coming in instead of released ones. Losing Bad Influence would be a tragic loss, but you see the reports of more new talent coming in, so it doesn't make sense to declare the death of TNA. Couple of guys go away, new guys come in. At this point, I think that's the way this new TNA office sees it. Styles, Jarrett, Sting out - Wolves, Dreamer (backstage) and MVP in.

Hope you understand what I'm saying. Death of TNA is nowhere in sight, IMO, regardless of Kaz & Daniels, as cruel as it may sound by their probably biggest fan.

I'm basing that off of this report. If he's next due to cost cutting then I'm guessing negotiations either haven't started yet, or they have and TNA have made it clear they'll be reducing his wages or letting him go. Regardless, running it this short just gives the performers so much power over what they want. Why do contract negotiations not start a year+ in advance?

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

TJP is still Manik right?

I havent seen much of KK recently, I just remember when he jobbed a few times for TNA back in the day when R-Truth and shit was there.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

They still got a bit of talent in TNA to keep the doors open when/if bad influence leaves, although it definitely will hurt..
I'm wondering if soon enough the Briscoe Brothers are going to join up, I think they could be a nice addition to the Tag Team Division as well as put on some decent singles matches, I heard they had an offer last year but nothing came of it.

Didn't you watch KK when he was X Division champ last year? And yeah, TJP still is Manik.

I don't know, I'd like for negotiations to begin that soon as well, trust me.

Speaking of performer's power, funny thing happened last year in March when Prickhard was still in TNA handling contracts and nearly lost Bobby Roode, so Roode took advantage and got a significant pay raise, like he should.

 

[Crayo]

Exactly. It's not just happening to their stars, but it's happening to their biggest stars. I highly doubt things are handled the exact same way in WWE (though Punk's situation is perhaps evidence that it is). These guys are company assets now, not just employees. It's the same policy that is applied to athletes and ironically doing this SAVES TNA MONEY which is what their apparent problem is in the first place.

I wonder how much they regret paying Hulk Borgan 30+k per appearance. What the fuck were they thinking?

Thankfully, that pathetic Hogan charade is now. This Thursday's IMPACT quarter hour ratings proved TNA was and will be fine without Hogan ratings wise, as they got 1.4 for Abyss vs. Eric Young. It showed Hogan did nothing for ratings bar his 1.45 debut and that's it.

Idk if it's coincidence or not, but TNA viewership numbers have increased since Hogan left TNA TV & Bischoff left creative team.
