Weren't they also criticized for giving out huge contracts in the past?

They need to build that mid card instead of bringing in names from other promotions. It's shallow waters for guys who aren't Finn's friends or former indy stars.
That's exactly what Magnus said they did to him. They broke mayne.
How Much Money Was TNA Willing to Offer Alberto Del Rio?
As we previously reported, Alberto Del Rio recently turned down a big money offer from TNA, as the company wanted to bring him in for its live Impact Wrestling debut on Destination America.
Del Rio ended up turning the offer down and signed with Lucha Underground instead. On the deal offered to Del Rio by TNA, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com said the following:
“They (TNA) offered him $400,000 a year for minimal dates,” Meltzer noted Sunday on the F4WOnline.com message board in a thread about Del Rio joining Lucha Underground. “It says more about the perception in the industry that TNA is a career killer.”
--------------------------------
Where'd they get $400,000 from then?
I don't think they did, to be honest.

Exactly, they can afford who they want to afford. They offered AJ/Gallows/Anderson big money, but can't afford a slight pay raise for former world champs like EY, Roode, & Magnus? BS

Then again these dummies don't even sell DVDs anymore which was a big part of their profit when they started out.

What numbers were roode and young asking for? What were they getting paid on their expiring contract?

I believe Roode's deal was similar to Storm's at 125-150. Not sure about EY

According to Metlzer, Their international TV deals are the only thing keeping them alive at the moment.
I think they got scared of touring due to bleeding alot of money when they tried to tour years ago.

I went back and looked at their 08 schedule and they were doing great business by their standards. 2k-5k fans per PPV in attendance. Good buys, that Hogan shyt hit them like polio

Pay Fatt's skank to walk around and do nothing, but do cough up the money to keep legit talent.
And farming out their signed talent to other companied for a cut of the fee to cover guarantee contracts.
They still sell DVDs; they tend to wait till a wrestler leaves and starts working for WWE before they put them out though.Then again these dummies don't even sell DVDs anymore which was a big part of their profit when they started out.

They did a Sting one when he signed with WWE and they have an AJ Styles one coming out soon.
