Major TNA Financial Issues Continue During Slammiversary Weekend

Source: WrestlingINC

TNA Chief Financial officer and Chief Operating Officer Dean Broadhead posted on his personal Facebook page this weekend about how he had to secure “interim financing” with just 12 hours to spare for TNA’s “production trucks to roll” for Sunday’s Slammiversary pay-per-view, and presumably tonight’s semi-live Impact Wrestling episode.

Broadhead said he logged more than 80 phone calls to attorneys, bankers, vendors and employees between Thursday and Friday. He wrote, “Maybe it’s time to retire. But maybe not until everything is in it’s right place.”

PWInsider adds that Broadhead’s financial expertise is one of the major reasons why TNA has been able to stay alive over the past few years, so losing him would be another big blow.

As we noted this weekend, current TNA employee and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is either close to purchasing or has already purchased a minority stake in the company.

Backstage TNA Reaction To Jeff Jarrett’s Return

According to WrestlingINC.com there’s a feeling backstage in TNA that the buzz the company has received in the past week is better than the buzz they’ve received in the past year and they are happy with that, regardless of what happens with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling.

TNA Announces The Return Of King Of The Mountain At Slammiversary

TNA Wrestling and Dixie Carter announced the return of the King of the Mountain match for this year’s Slammiversary pay-per-view on June 28th.

The King of the Mountain match is a TNA original and one of the most innovative matches in pro wrestling. The King of the Mountain was a staple of the annual Slammiversary event through 2009.

King of the Mountain Rules:

The match consists of 5 competitors who begin ineligible to win. In order to become eligible one must score a submission or pinfall where falls count anywhere.

Once eligible the competitor must retrieve the belt from the official while the person who was pinned or submitted must spend 2 minutes in the “penalty box” cage.

Multiple competitors can be locked in the penalty box resulting in alliances or the fight continuing.

Once the belt is in play any other wrestler who is eligible may steal the belt, if at any point the belt is dropped it goes back to the official.

An eligible competitor hangs the belt on a hook suspended 15 feet above the ring via a ladder to win the match.
