TNA Wrestling Reportedly Owed Bobby Roode & Eric Young a Combined Six Figures
During a recent edition of Pro Wrestling Report, Dave Herro of Great Lakes Championship Wrestling revealed he knows the real reason why Bobby Roode and Eric Young left TNA.
“Bobby Roode and Eric Young left because they were owed a combined six-figures,” Herro said. “How do you not pay those two guys? You let Bobby Roode go, a guy who could have gone to WWE but he wanted to be loyal to the company. Thank God he left. He’ll be a big star in NXT. He’ll make the main roster in a year from now. Same with Eric Young.”
Herro also addressed TNA’s current financial issues and says he thinks the company needs a management change:
“I wish Ring Of Honor would buy TNA. They already have the infrastructure in place. They already have the TV deal alone. They’re already in more markets than Pop TV.”
