In a recent entry on his blog, WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross commended iMPACT Wrestling for signing some of their talent to long-term contracts. In his post, he commented that this makes sense given the fact that Jeff Jarrett recently launched a new promotion that could compete for talent with TNA. Here are the exact words that Ross posted on his blog regarding the TNA talent contracts:
Seems like TNA is signing their core talents whose contracts are either up or in need of revising. WWE has seemingly made it clear that they have no interest in Impact talents and will instead reply on their Performance Center for their future stars. However, with Jeff Jarrett preparing to launch another promotion it makes sense for TNA to be proactive.
Remember this, and this can’t be over thought, the key to any wrestling promotion is talent and television meaning one must have a core of meaningful talent that can ‘get over’ and relate to the audience and a strong TV presence that the masses can find and on a network where they regularly watch other programming and not just the wrestling show.
