Last week TNA announced that they would be working with A01 productions going forward. Apparently the story is a lot bigger than people realized. Since they are now working with A01 productions, this meant that a lot of the production people that TNA had working for them were let go.
The people working for them that were let go were the ones that were the most vocal about the issues with pay. There have been stories going around in the last couple of years about production people being paid late but this year the stories seemed more frequent. Some people were months behind on pay and some were getting partial payments. Instead of actually trying to address the issues, it’s been reported that TNA management had been trying to find out who has been leaking out info about the late pay issues.
I hope that the people that were let go were at least paid what they were owed by the company.
