Some TNA wrestlers are being asked to take less money once their existing contracts expire. In other cases, there are wrestlers with have time left on their deals who have been approached about restructuring their contracts for less pay.



One wrestler noted that former TNA head of talent relations Bruce Prichard approached several wrestlers about restructuring for less pay (roughly half as much in some cases) before their contracts were up, and the same thing is happening now. "Before you know it, they'll be charging wrestlers to perform," a veteran performer cracked.



Powell's POV: TNA has brought in a lot of new talent lately, but the restructuring requests shows that the budget cuts continue. It will be very interesting to see what type of pay the Jeff Jarrett fronted promotion offers and whether that becomes a strong alternative for TNA wrestlers who are unhappy with their pay.
