Update zu den Lizenzproblemen beim Live Event am Samstag / Dr. Tom Prichard spricht über TNA Probleme
– WrestlingCorner berichtete gestern bereits, dass mit TNA World Heavyweight Champion Chris Sabin, Jay Bradley, Garett Bischoff, Wes Brisco, Miss Tessmacher und Gail Kim insgesamt sechs TNA Talente beim IMPACT Wrestling Live Event in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, am vergangenen Samstag ein Auftrittsverbot von der „Missouri Athletic Commission“ wegen Lizenzproblemen erhalten haben. Nun berichtet der PWInsider, dass der ehemalige „Senior Vice President of Talent Relations and Programming“ Bruce Prichard, der in der vergangenen Woche entlassen wurde, für die besagten Lizenzprobleme verantwortlich gewesen ist und die Company einfach versäumt hat, sich nach dessen Abgang rechtzeitig um die fehlenden Arbeitslizenzen ihrer Worker für Missouri zu kümmern.
– Dr. Tom Prichard, ehemaliger WWE Head Trainer, hat sich nun in seinem neuesten Blog auf DrTomPrichard.com zu den aktuellen Problemen bei TNA Wrestling, seine Verhandlungen mit der Company sowie die Entlassung seines Bruders Bruce Prichard geäußert:

As seems to be the case with TNA, lack of follow up and professionalism was indeed the case as I didn’t go to Louisville. Why? Never got a straight answer or courtesy call explaining why a representative of the company called and initiated talks about going to OVW as a trainer, ask what I would want to go and then promise an answer „by Monday.“ Monday has yet to come…“
„It’s a shame when a talented roster can’t get a straight answer or get paid on time. Who’s to blame? All I know is if no one can get a straight answer at WWE they go to Vince McMahon. At this time, Vince has the last word and accepts responsibility. Did Bruce screw up or make bad decisions? Don’t know. I wasn’t there. But I do know enough people in TNA who enlightened me on the dealings they’ve had with upper management (long before Bruce ever entered the picture) and the song remains the same…“
