takertitan Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Simple idea, but i like it. My idea is that you could now sign people to work a set number of dates rather than a set number of days. Also, if you signed for a low number of dates (say i signed RVD to appear for 1 show in PWR, Booker T's company) he would be willing to work for me regardless of size. This lets the booker of a small company to "pull out all the stops" for a big show. He could risk lossing money by brining in a big name for 1 night only.

Derek B Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 You already can do this. Offer a contract length and set the appearances to the number of desired appearances. When they run out of appearances OR the contract times out they will leave you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takertitan Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 but there is not benifit as it is to sign someone by dates. It could also be part of written deals where some like Kurt Angle or Sting only work 2-4 days a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the written contract thing, TNA is weird. Their wrestlers sign contracts, but instead of getting paid monthly, they get paid per appearance (if two episodes of Impact are taped on one day, they get paid for both appearances). But during the rest of the time, they can work in other places, as long as they don't appear on TV, and the DVDs of their appearances aren't sold by specific retailers. I think there are a few other conditions, but yeah... As for Sting, he could just be set as a Semi-Active wrestler, if that's what you're looking for.

NickC13573 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 but TNA books appearances for their talent and gets paid quarterly for those appearances, just to clear up that they cant control their own schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upper-tier, yeah. But the smaller guys usually can take independent bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3LSHY Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think he also meens they will actually go into negotiations rather than just flat out rejecting you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
