       On the latest episode of the Ross Report, Jim Ross and his
       guest, Al Snow, discussed various topics, including TNA and
       whether paychecks have been late. During the interview, Snow
       confirmed that paychecks from TNA have been late; however,
       morale within the company has remained "very positive, as crazy
       as that may sound".
       "Checks have been late, but they come, you know what I mean?"
       Snow, who has been a producer and agent at TNA, stated. "It's
       not like you're not going to get it. You don't get it,
       sometimes, as quickly as you should or what you think you
       should. They could be more timely, but you do get them. It's
       kind of like you know it's coming."
       Also, Snow said he is impressed with the "work ethic" at TNA.
       "I've always been so impressed with how hard the talent worked
       and how hard everybody backstage worked because, you've got to
       think, they are producing a show, a two hour show, that's on
       par, it's not going to be exactly equal, but it is on par with
       WWE, and they are doing it with a third of the budget, a third
       of the staff, a third of the resources, and they are still being
       able to accomplish it. That's a major feat."
       During the interview, Ross noted that "if TNA is not successful,
       it is not going to be because of the bell to bell productivity
       of their talent" and said that he could "very easily" work with
       TNA's roster if he was in charge of booking the promotion.
       On the topic of James Storm's recent departure from TNA, Ross
       stated that it is a "blow" to the already struggling promotion,
       though it opens up opportunities to other TNA talent.
       "I am kind of surprised that James Storm left TNA. It's another
       blow for the maligned brand as they are working hard to get back
       on their feet and get back up on a steady foundation, which
       we're pulling for. James Storm, him leaving, would hurt
       anybody."
       Ross called Storm "a valuable commodity" and "a talented dude"
       who "won't stay unbooked too many weekends". Additionally, Ross
       claimed that Storm "is one of the best in-ring hands out there".
