SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
TNA is planning to return to Orlando, Fla. for TV tapings in mid-March.
PWTorch has learned that planned dates are March 15-19, with a possible final date of Sunday, March 20 for additional tapings.
This follows TNA taping television in Bethlehem, Pa. at the beginning of the year before traveling to the U.K. for more TV tapings.
TNA has not officially announced the dates yet at Universal Studios. The plan is to tape the spring TV season episodes, which follows the end of Kurt Angle’s TNA run.
TNA will also be introducing a new paying agent for the production team after ending their partnership with A01 Productions. The relationship with A01 only lasted the second-half of 2015.
PWTorch has also learned that TNA is caught up on paying the production team after going through a well-publicized stretch of late payments in 2015.
TNA is looking to pay within a professional standard 30-day window, trying to reconcile a period of not paying production workers within 60 days last year.
With the Canadian dollar now worth around 70 cents US, if Dixie had the money, wouldn’t it make sense to go to the Toronto area, especially when indies up here usually attract 2,000 fans?
