WWE Legend The Honky Tonk Man talks about TNA's longevity and
their issues with pay. He was asked if he's surprised TNA is
still around and replied:
"Absolutely. I said in the very beginning, when they were in the
infant stage when I was doing my podcast, that they wouldn't be
around in 1 year. But they have outlasted my prediction. If
they're around another year, if they're still around in 2016, it
will be amazing. It will be an amazing feat of longevity for
someone who doesn't pay their bills, doesn't pay their
employees, their checks are late for production people. I'm on
record by saying, what kind of a person would not pay your
people when you supposedly have millions of dollars and what
kind of a person would work for someone who's constantly late
with the payments to you? I understand that young wrestlers need
a place to perfect their craft and work and do those things but
they send a really bad message to the whole industry. If I work
for free for someone, how could I ever go to WWE and ask Vince
McMahon to pay me, when he knows I have worked for free for
everyone. So he has no reason to ever pay anyone. So it sets a
bad precedent for our business."

Not to take away from HTM's point, but I don't believe Panda is
in TNA to pay for their bills. They want profit. Those millions
they have? It's not going into TNA. I'd wager that a large part
of TNA's financial problems are based around Panda being very
strict with their money. Which I can't blame them for, 10+ years
is a long time to continually be "investing." I think the budget
cuts alone will make them see life into 2016 and beyond since
the goal of those cuts is to be functional without US tapings.
Hopefully the payment methods becoming internally handled in TNA
itself as opposed through Panda will mean no late paychecks as
well.
