There were posts claiming the TNA deal was for $30 Million. Is there any validity to that? Is it $30 Million or possibly $10 Million a year for 3 years. Thanks
I do not have definite numbers for this deal, but if it was $30 Million, it would almost certainly be for $10 million a year for three years. If it were for $30 million, there would be some serious plays for free agents. I'm just not seeing that right now. I'd be more inclined to believe it's in the 10M per year range, which is still major for TNA.
Any updates on Piper Niven or Jacob Fatu? I think I saw Piper posted a photo recently and she was in recovery? Good signs she may be able to return in the future?!
I know that initially there was a lot of concern for Piper Niven, but people close to her didn't think that it was going to end her career. The word from Bodyslam.net upon Jacob Fatu's injury was that it was dental related. I wouldn't expect him to be out too much longer.
Do you think any of the TNA talent that has their contracts expiring sign with WWE next
No, I don't think so. I do think they should be looking at Steve Maclin as a wrestler and a potential future coach and producer, but he has a lot left in the ring. The Rascalz aren't going to WWE right after Dezmond Xavier just got cut. I could definitely see Killer Kelly and Myron Reed collectively on NXT, but I've not heard of any offers.

Maybe even WWE buy his contract out.

Have to think Leon Slater is a lock after his deal is up.
