Sounds strange that they'd leave a talent like AJ go to cut costs if they don't really need to.

Then she should drop Sting. My only issue is my question to the effect that TNA is a company getting TV money on the regular, how far from the Indies are they when stability isn't the only issue, constantly getting money taken away after the fact is as well?

It just makes me think FTJ was right, is TFA going out of buildness? Or are they gaining income off the hard work of stars willing to take pay cuts consistently (twice in 6 months is a lot IMO) in order to keep the owners income inflated?

I don't think they pay much of Sting's salary I know Spike covered the majority when he first signed at least.

Either way, bring back Joey Ryan (yeah i marked for your sig) and anyone else who is above wrestling in a t-shirt to avoid titty exposure. Sting isn't even good on the mic anymore, you see his last few segments?

I'm STING! Kurt Angle is a good friend of mine! No i'm not twice your size, rockstar spud, i refuse to open this door because this story is about a vagina, and i'm wearing it.

He has strong name value though which really helps, I'm keen on keeping him in an ambassadorial role personally but he can really help put someone over even to this day on star power alone with a little help from booking. His stuff with Bully was pretty good looking back as an example, Magnus and Roode were awful though.

When he screamed he was going to put Magnus over, i facepalm'd for sure. If anything, he hurt Magnus and his title run. I got him being the low member in MEM, and it was so much better seeing him perform well when people like sting were doing jack shit but getting more tv time, same as hogan...but that moment when Magnus bitched about the Flair match and asking who was going to put him over, i just lost it. It made Magnus look weak, and like a child looking for his daddy to help him find his way, when his matches were great...and all he needed was to cut a promo about how he was main event material and everyone but Dixie Carter knew it.
