TNA Making New Contract Offers to Talent

Following the news of James Storm re-signing with TNA, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, reports that TNA is starting to increase money on talent spending and is making offers to talent again. They are also looking to re-sign several talents and upgrade their merchandising. WWE has reportedly had contact with TNA talent whose contracts have expired, but aren’t offering anything substantial money wise. The TNA offers are said to be considerably higher than the ones that WWE have offered.

The MLW Twitter account, which has broke news in the past, posted the following on Twitter today. The account says that TNA is receiving a TV rights fee, which has allowed them to offer new deals to talent for more money

MLW @MLW
 TNA IS receiving a rights fee from @PopTV. This is NOT a barter deal. This has had a very positive impact on TNA’s payroll and operations.
 
New contracts are being offered and sweetened. Many renewals are being pursued. Spinoff @PopTV programming also being discussed but TBD
 
Opinionated View- As always you gotta be careful especially with MLW. But this does back up what we have seen. Storm is back, Bennett and Maria are in, Lee and Parks on the PPV. And Shyron. It will be interesting to see if Aries returns again, we also have that new knockout. That said please TNA fans don't just go "This mean they can go after AJ before WWE gets him." or "They should go some legend." Just enjoy what TNA is giving you don't live in the past.
