A That it was just being postponed.

Q Was a new date ever scheduled?

A Well, we didn't hear back for me to come in and -­until just within the last week or two, I guess, when this offer -- when I was asked to come in. So we went ahead and just decided we couldn't wait. So we were just going to schedule it within January.

Q So it is next month?

A Yeah. We just decided to go ahead and not wait and if it wasn't right, then we'd redo it and fix it later.

Q And did you notify the talent about the new testing date?

A I don't know if they've been told or not yet.

Q The reason that particular e-mail caught our eye was that several witnesses interviewed by our committee have described TNA as a refuge for WWE's failed drug users and as a safe haven for drug users. Are you concerned about this image?

A I don't think it is a correct image at all. I absolutely don't think it is. We have a lot of people who have past histories. There was a USA Today article in '94. And you know there are several of our guys interviewed for that that we offered up, come down, come see our show, come down and talk to these people. And they all had past histories with drug abuse and prescription medicine abuse.

Q Does image concern you?

A Image concerns me tremendously. I mean, we are -­we work very, very hard to be a different kind of wrestling company, to treat our wrestlers differently, to provide them a different lifestyle, to not put them on the road where they beat and batter their bodies so much that they have no option but to turn to pain medicine. It is a huge problem. And we treat them with respect, which they've never gotten before. But we also hold them accountable. And it is not a safe haven. These guys are on a very short leash as far as it being a family friendly show what they can do in the ring and the image and perception of how they are. If they get into any kind of an altercation -- let's just say boys having fun in a bar fight, it doesn't matter -- it may not be on our clock and they may work for a lot of other people, but it will not be tolerated in our company.

Q So have you had instances where you've let wrestlers go because of those kind of indiscretions?

A Absolutely. Absolutely. Suspended, let off shows which means without pay. That is a form of suspension as well for a period of time and termination. And we've also had several wrestlers who we have allowed to go to rehab and have told them that their places were safe afterwards. But again most of this would be, you know, pain medication and some of them -- yeah, it is mostly pain medication or alcohol.
