TNA Pursuing ROH Wrestlers, Matt Hardy’s ROH Status
TNA has been pursuing Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish, known as reDRagon. Their ROH contracts have expired & TNA wants them to come & work a fued with The Wolves.
Tonight might be Matt Hardy’s last night with ROH because they weren’t happy about him working TNA’s recent New York City tapings.
The competition between TNA & ROH continues as TNA has been calling up ROH talents without contracts. ROH is on a strict budget so a big talent bidding war is unlikely.

Matt Hardy Reportedly Paid Double His Usual Fee By TNA
Matt Hardy usually charges $1,500, plus hotel & transportation, plus another $300 for his wife Reby Sky for indie appearances. TNA reportedly paid him around double that for his appearance at the Impact taping in New York City this past week.
Matt is not signed to TNA or Ring of Honor, but he wants to continue working for both promotions, even though that might not be possible. It seems Matt is not looking to sign a contract to work as regular in any company. On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio he said that he has made enough money from WWE that he’s financially set for life, but working indies allows him to earn a decent income & stay involved in wrestling.
