This sounds like a familiar issue. But reports from PWInsider.com are that several wrestlers on the Impact Wrestling talent roster have been getting stiffed of their pay, being delayed by weeks or not receiving pay at all. This is stemming allegedly from the most recent Orlando television tapings for the company over the last month as well as the Ottawa tapings and their 2017 Bound For Glory PPV payoffs, with the wrestlers revealing this under the guise of anonymity.
Impact Wrestling president Ed Nordholm released a statement to PW Insider, denying that the promotion was late on pay, instead blaming it on the company's recent moving of it's business operations to Canada:
“Talent is not behind on their pay. We generally provide for talent to be paid as independent contractors in the month following a month in which services are rendered. This was an improvement over previous management, where talent cheques were issued only as the actual episodes aired (could be as much as 12 weeks after tapings before final instalments were delivered).
We instituted a payment policy last year to pay for all services rendered in a month in the following month, regardless of when the shows would air. Accordingly, cheques for January were mailed earlier mid-month; cheques for November were mailed mid-December (and I understand got caught up in Christmas mail delays).
We realize that one unexpected impact of moving our corporate offices to Canada has been a further delay with mail services going cross-border. We are working to streamline our talent payroll processing so future events will be paid closer to the beginning of each month after services are rendered.”
