TNA Knockout Receives Big Salary Hike, Backstage TNA News
Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
– Reportedly, "it was a lock" a few weeks ago that Bound for Glory would be held in San Antonio. The decision to move the pay-per-view event to Daytona Beach was due to company officials finding out that WWE had scheduled a Monday Night RAW taping in San Antonio on July 26.
– One third of the Knockout Tag Team Champions, Velvet Sky, recently signed a three-year contract with TNA Wrestling. She also received a pay raise, bumping her salary from $300 per show to $600 per show. As a result, she is among the company's top female earners.
– Due to poor sales, TNA Wrestling's "Ultimate Fan Xperience: Victory Road VIP Weekend" has been discounted from $299 to $99. The company reportedly sold less than ten VIP packages, hence the markdown. All fans who had previously purchased tickets at the $299 price will receive a refund for the difference of the ticket price. For more information on the proceedings, visit TNAWrestling.com.
