Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
6. Banned Source(s).

Looks like maybe talent took that firing of Scott a little harder than TNA execs thought they would. It's just a happy coincidence that a lot of them are letting their stuff expire just before 2025 when Maple Leaf is supposed to really kick off.
Rumour is TNA asked a bunch of em to take a pay cut. Possibly to save money, possibly to bump up the lower-earners salary, not sure.
I can't imagine The Hardy's, Nic Nemeth, or maybe even Top Floppa came super cheap.
I'm a believer in TNA, but I'm also a realist and TNA is currently an indie that has TV and they remind me of ROH on Sinclair. In the demo they get roughly the same exact 0.02 every week, which is around 26.5k viewers in the 18-49 age range.
Center Stage probably only held 500-600 people each night they were in Atlanta, let's be generous and say they made 120k over two nights before venue costs, PPV revenue sharing, ring rental, hotels, etc, they can't be making much if anything at all.
So, if they are letting people leave, it tells me they are consolidating money to pay a few bigger names like Nemeth and the Hardy's and banking on the lower card sticking around maybe for more pay. I hope for more pay. Anthem is Canadian, are Canadian corps as capitalistic as American ones? If so I doubt it's more pay.
/end rant... this isn't even half of what I wrote, and it's still not as coherent as I'd prefer, I just don't have it in me to clean it up and keep going.
I just wrote out 4 paragraphs which covered an ever-increasingly irate rant ranging from the Irvings totalitarian vicegrip on New Brunswick and its every sector and industry to the mass of telecom collusion and an in depth look at Ontario's provincial corruption and federal scandals and for my mental health I am gonna stop, delete and just summarize with:
Yes if not worse as we have fewer options for everything lol.
