SoCal Val released by TNA

[Stopspot]

Is it really that exciting for your paycheck to be between 500-1000$ ? That's an Observer report, so take it however you want, but I guess (financially) it's better than doing nothing.

I hope she makes in WWE, in whatever role she might possibly get some day.

I'd assume she'd be going in for a producer job considering all the experience she has with that. And I don't think producer paychecks are that low. I have a hard time seeing in ring paychecks being that low either, at least for TV talent. I know that PAC took a pay dip when he signed but he has also claimed that he's now back near his old income level since he started doing TV.

Like I said, Observer report, it may, but then it may not be the truth, if you get the pun here.

Either way, I hate when people lose their jobs, especially one core TNA talent like her, but what the heck. She wasn't relevant on TV since 2008, we could barely ever see her.

Best of luck, Val.

Kind of how I feel as well. I know she did a lot of backstage stuff but people have most likely been shifted around or dropped in those roles for years and years without big impact. Val going is not that big an issue but still sad to see someone lose her job but she seems to be landing on her feet. If not ROH could always use someone to replace Veda Scott who is pretty shit.

Good, no one cares about SoCal VAl

This baffles me. Sure, Hemme is hotter and sounds better, but is she seriously worth the ammount she's paid? Letting Val go instead of her is simply stupid from a business standpoint. Hemme is worth NOTHING. I really can't get my head around this, it's just so stupid. I don't really mind whether Val is there or not but come on.

-The SoCal Val departure came as a shock to numerous people. Val was very well liked backstage. She was with the company for years and people thought her job was safe. She was considered one of the "non-essential" employees. Val served as a ring girl and had a backstage role on a number of website segments.

-Don't be shocked if one of the next names you read about being released are either Christy Hemme, Mike Tenay or Taz. All three have higher paychecks and if TNA can one of their roles with Jeremy Borash, then they will. It is believed the reason they were testing out Jeremy Borash on commentary with Mike Tenay and Taz is that either Taz or Tenay will be released in the near future. Hemme is supposedly the highest paid Knockout on the roster. If they can fill her role with Jeremy Borash (who does alot of other things for the company) then they will.

JB is much better at ring announcing than Hemme. Would love to see him replacing her on a regular basis if that meant TNA would save that much money.

 

[Crayo]

Hemme, Tenay, AND Taz gone = fap time for Crayo. TNA will be 60 times better.

 

[Leo C]

Yeah, if those three were gone it'd be so great. Then they'd just need to bring Keneley back and it'd be perfect (I'm pretty sure his paycheck is much smaller than Tenay's and Taz's).

 

[Saylor]

I'm glad that Hemme is still with TNA, she is much hotter, sounds better and I would most defiantly miss them body shots that they do. I don't mind SoCal Val being gone from TNA, it's understandable, but to save money the best idea would have been to release Hemme instead.

The report I quoted doesn't say all 3 will be gone, but maybe one or even two. But better something than nothing I guess.:jesse:

Sure, it's already an improvement. I was just responding to Crayo's hypothesis.

 

[Rogue]

They weren't using Val in the slightest recently so perhaps it's better she was released. Maybe she can go somewhere else where she'd be used more. As for that recent report in this thread about JB possibly replacing Hemme,Tenay,or,Taz I would be ecstatic if that where to happen as I'm not keen on any of the three and felt they've done nothing but harm TNA in recent events..

 

[Crayo]

I hope Tenay is the one that is cut.

 

[Aids Johnson]

Disagree completely, Hemme looks better and sounds MUCH better. The only advantage to letting Hemme go over Val is money.

This old man said it perfectly. If i have to see Morgan/Ryan/Crimson and now so many more dip, her leaving wont hurt my feelings anymore than Tara dipping.
