TNA talents have been told that the planned tour for China at the end of this month won't be happening. Talents were unhappy because the tour was going to make them a significant amount of money and now they have to scramble to find work for those 10 days.

The tour being nixed was seen as another loss of faith within the company. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that some talents have talked privately about how they believe the company is all but dead after getting the word about the tour. While the tour was not officially announced by TNA yet, talents were told it was happening until just a few days back.

Many TNA talents have sent feelers out to other promotions and ones that contacted WWE were reportedly told that WWE is not interested in anyone from TNA, even if they were willing to go through a tryout camp first.

Going to assume it's because of the whole homegrown talent initiative the WWE's got going on right now.

Because Meltzer hasn't been very pro the TNA product this year at all.

High five Aids.

I doubt they aren't interested in ANY talent. Didn't Taeler get on the Rosebuds? Taryn could be in WWE, but the majority of TNA talent are out of the age range.

High five Aids indeed.

As for the not interested part: At least part of it is probably just WWE being safe. If they actually said "Let's talk" to any talent under TNA contract TNA could sue them. But there has to be at least some salty eyes towards TNA talent looking for work considering it being "Jarrett's company" and Jarrett starting it with money he held up Vinnie Mac for (some sources say 300K, others between 1.5 and 3 million).
