A number of TNA stars are looking for independent work outside of the company, reports PWInsider, and some are even contacting the promoters directly about working their upcoming evvents. TNA's lack of live events over the next few months have forced the hand of some of the stars.

Most TNA stars only get paid for actual appearances — there's little-to-no guaranteed money at all.

The biggest issue for the talent is that their TNA contract prohibits them from appearing on indy shows who film their events for TV, DVD, or internet pay-per-view. TNA stars are allowed (in most cases) to appear at the live events, but they can't be included in any of those products. This makes it tough on most promoters to justify bringing the TNA star in for the event when they can't include them in any of their sellable, merchandise products.

Matt Hardy Comments on Jeff/TNA
Matt Hardy took to Twitter to comment on his brother Jeff not appearing on this week's episode of Impact Wrestling:

@MATTHARDYBRAND
Not cuz he's my brother, but Jeff Hardy is an integral part of TNA succeeding, IMO.. Jeff should be on all the "live" episodes-HE IS A STAR.

That's woeful bad on TNA's part that their stars are seeking work else where just to survive and earn a few bob when they've a contract signed with them

TNA is a glorified indy company on a mainstream level. How you're booked is on the indy level but how your contract is handled is like WWE. It's a shame.

Doesn't get anymore like WWE than that...besides AJ's current stint with Dixie, with him leaving TNA with the World Heavyweight Championship last night.

ROH/TNA merger soon??? lol

The ship is starting to sink

TNA is '10's decade WCW.
I dare to say there will be a new WCW every decade.
