Per Dave Melzter in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is still lingering anger from TNA production crew towards the office in regards to finances. While the checks from the February pay=per-view did eventually come, there were production people who once again complained they were significantly shortened on money. There are also complaints that the March pay-per-checks still haven’t arrived. Additionally, there is said to be unhappiness stemming from management’s constant excuses for the late pay.
Many are expecting some sort of big showdown at the 5/8 taping, with Meltzer noting the feeling is the backstage crew probably have a great deal of leverage due to the fact this is when they’re filming the live Impact and the company is taping several other episodes on the flagship show in the days following.
