It’s said that a lot of the younger talents in TNA are feeling mentally checked out right now. There’s some unhappiness among the talents due to pretty much no shows being booked until early January.
All talents are trying to get indie dates and there’s apparently not much interest in anyone from Ring of Honor officials, with the exception of Eddie Edwards and Samoa Joe. A lot of TNA talents have contacted Jeff Jarrett about Global Force Wrestling bookings but some aren’t considering GFW an option until they hear that the promotion is actually signing talents and putting on TV tapings. TNA talents are free to work where they want on the indies as long as it’s not on pay-per-view or iPPV.
There’s a feeling that talents under the newer TNA deals are getting possibly $1,000 per month as a base pay, even if they’re not booked, but that’s for a minimum three-month period.
