Here is some additional information regarding several recent TNA releases:
– Former TNA Knockout Tara was released as a cost cutting measure. She was by far the highest paid female wrestler on the roster and the feeling was that TNA would be better off cutting that expense.
– Former Aces & Eights member DOC’s contract negotiations had been underway for a while, but a deal was never finalized. Bruce Prichard, TNA’s head of Creative and Talent Relations, is rumored to be departing as a result of the way DOC’s contract situation was handled.
– As for Rob Van Dam’s release earlier this year, a source in the company says TNA stopped responding to Van Dam’s phone calls and were not using him enough.
More TNA releases, as well as some restructuring of TNA management, are expected in the coming weeks.
