Backstage Heat Between Triple H and Former ‪#‎WWE‬ Champion, Unhappiness Over his booking
 
Former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio has been unhappy with his position in the company as he was told he would be given a main event push when he returned last year under a new deal.
 
It appears most of Del Rio’s issues start with Triple H, who has not been up on Del Rio as a person since he was brought back. Triple H recognizes Del Rio’s in-ring value but has been rubbed the wrong way by him too many times and doesn’t trust him. Triple H has reportedly talked with Vince McMahon about why Del Rio doesn’t deserve a top spot on the card, warning him that Del Rio would just become more of a problem backstage once he gets what he wants. Triple H believes Del Rio should not be given any kind of special treatment, power or leverage.
 
There’s been some concern among talents that Del Rio may leave. We noted this week via The Wrestling Observer that one idea discussed for Lucha Underground’s Melissa Santos, if they could sign her, would be to put her with a re-packaged Del Rio as his personal ring announcer. The source who reported this Del Rio story to us last week sent a note after The Observer came out, saying they could be trying to get Del Rio to stay, or at least buttering him up, with a re-package and push.
 
Another source said they wouldn’t be surprised to see a Del Rio vs. Roman Reigns WWE World Heavyweight Title feud later this year. It’s no secret Del Rio doesn’t need the money, can get work elsewhere and does not tolerate a lot of politics and backstage mind games.

TNA behind on paying workers leading into Slammiversary


TNA will be returning to Orlando in one month for Slammiversary and TV tapings with an upset and frustrated TV production crew if they do not catch up on payments.
 
PWTorch has learned from multiple sources that TNA is behind paying some production workers going back to January and March TV tapings.
 
After struggling to make payments on-time throughout 2015, TNA handed over the system to the Harris Twins through their production company Aroluxe, payable by TNA. Since then, payments have continued to be late. The situation has especially been exacerbated by TNA leaving their long-time office in Nashville and relocating to the merchandise warehouse.
 
Also, production workers have been met with resistance when inquiring about payments. PWTorch has also learned that some production workers have been told they will or might be replaced at the next tapings in June, likely in favor of independent production workers who do not have a history of late payments.
 
All of this comes while TNA is seeking an outside investor to pump money into the company. (Full Report from April) In the absence of a monthly live PPV, TNA’s main revenue streams right now are an Impact ad-share with Pop TV, international TV deals, and the “One Night Only” PPVs distributed in the U.S. and internationally.
 
TNA is also trying to reduce costs, such as moving out their Nashville office, and moving their TV post-production to the local Skyway Studios. The cost-cutting to make the company more attractive to investors is continuing to affect production workers who are vital to creating the content.
 
The next month will be significant for the company, both in terms of whether they get investment funds and whether they make right on paying production workers with the next PPV and TV tapings on the horizon.

 

[Pugz]

why do people still work for that company?

I remember when TNA was a cool alternative to WWE
