Christopher Daniels announced on his Twitter that Bad Influence will not be part of this week's tapings. This week TNA will be taping four weeks of TV this week. This is interesting because the contracts of Daniels and Kazarian are rumored to be expiring in April. If they don't re-sign, Lockdown may be their final appearance in the company.

Why are they taping all four episodes this week. The only wrestling show that I can remember off the top of my head that does that is NXT, but that has it's own actual reason for it. Not sure if they're going on a tour or something, but it doesn't seem like a good sign. As for the Bad Influence situation, it would be a shame if they weren't resigned. They're one of the few active and good tag teams left in TNA, and they've been somewhat neglected as of late to continue the whole BroMans vs Wolves feud. I have nothing against both teams (don't like the Wolves that much though) but Bad Influence should be holding the belts if anything, just me though.

I heard that they were going resign them like a month or so ago. So I'm not too worried about that.

I just hope that they get Bad Influence to sign big new contracts, because the roster is actually looking quite good now since the new signings at Lockdown and the tag team division NEEDS teams like BI, Wolves, Bro-Mans and we can't afford to let them go.

Oh, and BI are the funniest guys in the business.

Honestly, hopefully they leave T&A and go to indys and New Japan. They're popular, they can wrestle, they'd get booked 3 matches per week. Look at Styles, how things are working out for him, ROH, NJPW, he's going to make more this year than what he'd make in T&A.

They were in Test and Albert?

This might mean nothing: But they are booked for CZW's Wrestlemania weekend show in New Orleans.

Dirtsheet "update":

As noted, Kazarian and Daniels were not brought to this week's Impact Wrestling tapings. This caused some concern among fans as Daniels' contract expires in April and Kazarian's expires a short time later. Bad Influence not being used for the next 3 weeks of Impact may not be related to their contracts after all.
Another top star not used at this weekend's tapings was Austin Aries and word is that all three may not have been used due to TNA trying to save money. There was also a report of TNA hoping to use this set of tapings as a way to showcase and debut new talents. The only "new talents" used this weekend were Angelina Love, Kenny King, Sanada, Tigre Uno, Brittany and Willow (Jeff Hardy).

Come on, man. I love all these new talents TNA have brought in, they've been such a breath of fresh air... but... can't you cut some of the scrubs on the roster to make room for them instead of arguably the three best talents you have? Ugh. :facepalm1: Come on, TNA, you can't let these guys go!

Well I had planned on watching lockdown and catching up with TNA but NO aries or BI for a month's worth of tapings? It would take a lot of Bully and Bobby to get my attention now (not that anyone cares)
