The restructuring within TNA has led to a number of wrestlers being released from their contracts or the company allowing talent contracts to expire. It is also affecting the office side of the company. Multiple sources report that Bruce Prichard, Sr. Vice President of Programming and Talent Relations, was among the office personnel asked to restructure his deal. Prichard is said to have rejected that request. It is believed that his days with TNA are coming to an end barring an unexpected twist.

TNA agents were also asked to restructure their deals to a per night agreement. The word in TNA circles is that D-Lo Brown agreed to the per night agreement recently only to be fired by the company shortly thereafter. An attempt to reach Brown for comment on his status was not successful.

Pritchard's been overseeing the creative direction of the company around BFG 2011. This is huge.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's a bad sign for TNA. But I would say it was probably too early for them to go on the road consistently.

2013 is the year of the Hogan's brother. In before Nick Hogan is signed to a $20,000/appearance contract.

They rushed into that for sure, and how much has it even improved the product? Little to none. IMO they would be better off going LIVE from the IZ every week as opposed to what they've been doing.

I was hoping to see cyborg D'Lo return for revenge on Aces & 8's after they supposedly caved his skull in with a hammer.

It seems like they didn't predict the consistent costs of on the road tapings and thus are trying to renegotiate certain people to cheaper deals (that's what PWinsider says at least, D'Lo agreed to go per appearance but was dropped all together and Pritchard refused to restructure his position or something like that). I think it was Nano who talked about doing tapings from one location (a impact zone) and ppvs on the road. Sounds like a much better deal.

Prickhard (wrote that intentionally) should go away. How retarted he is. Bobby Roode reminded him that his contract was over.

Hated Pritchard, good riddance to him. Never cared for D-Lo so these releases don't bother me whatsoever.
