Backstage Praise for Shane Helms In TNA, More on TNA Cancelling Tour, Reaction to Partial Pay

– There has been a lot of praise within TNA for Shane Helms’ work as an agent. The feeling is that Helms brings a fresh perspective to how TNA matches are put together and presented. Helms was responsible for booking the Bound For Glory main event with Matt Hardy vs. Drew Galloway vs. Ethan Carter III for the World Heavyweight Title.

– TNA sources insist that the cancellation of the “Hardcore Halloween” live event tour was not due to financial issues or low ticket sales. As noted, the October 30th live event was recently changed to a One Night Only pay-per-view taping. With the tour being nixed, TNA’s story is that plans changed in regards to taping material and since they didn’t need to tape anything, they made the decision to cancel the whole tour.

We noted before that TNA officials told the roster that they would still receive partial pay for the tour. Some talents are fine with getting the partial pay but obviously are not happy with the cancellation as they would rather be working than sitting at home.
