Its still a 50/50 chance if the events actually happen or they do happen it doesn't kill their finances so badly they have to scrap the WM shows.

On one hand he might be so underpaid that he has to rob a bank again

On the other hand, it's not like any watches TNA enough to natc on him

I'm pretty sure if Nick got shorted by a promoter he'd get his money from the promoter Wahoo style.

Oh poo poo AroLucha's coming to Houston? :stare:

Are their shows actually decent? I know we hate them because it's Aroluxe and Russo, but I'll grit my teeth and give them a few bucks in spite of my dislike of those things if they're gonna give me good wrestling.

It's not even like the AroLucha shows have been great, consensus seems to be they are pretty good and they are probably going to lose Rey. I could see not caring if they put on legendary shows, but they don't.

They used to run regular shows in Dover and Smyrna, back when Zandig originally owned the company. Tajiri won the CZW title in Dover (and lost it the same night)

Plus the tournies, as Coco said

Well, let's see now. If you burned your money, not only would you be out money, you'd be contributing to global warming. Maybe it would be just the thing to cause the Pine Island and Thwaite's Glaciers to break away from the West Atlantic Ice Sheet, spilling trillions of gallons of ice in to the ocean, raising worldwide sea levels by 10-12 feet and killing and/or displacing millions of people.

On the other hand, TNA.

Every single TNA show in the last few years has been papered, usually to a large degree (or free outright in the Impact Zone). Even if your time is worth nothing to you there is no reason to spend money on TNA tickets. Heck, in the last set of tapings they paid the audience to come.

I've never understood how this works. Do you just hang around the arena waiting to get a free ticket? I understand the concept of papering but not how those free tickets are distributed last-minute in an effort to fill seats.

yeah, pretty much. Or if they bother to do radio promotion, call the station directly and ask for tickets there.

By being a 6'9 neo-nazi who is also tight with the company owner. You can't win that fight mentally or physically.

the Harris brothers had always been involved heavily with TNA production since Day 1.

They regularly (and relatively recently) intimidated people into not complaining about not being paid on time. On the rare chance anyone had the guts to tell them this, it was done softly enough to not be heard and wasn't listened to
