Ed Nordholm Issues Statement About Impact Wrestling Stars Allegedly Not Being Paid

According to PWInsider.com, several Impact Wrestling stars have told them that there have been pay issues once again within the promotion, going back to the Bound for Glory pay-per-view in November, as well as the television tapings since then.

PWInsider.com reached out to Impact Wrestling President Ed Nordholm, who quickly responded to their question with the following statement:

"Talent is not behind on their pay. We generally provide for talent to be paid as independent contractors in the month following a month in which services are rendered. This was an improvement over previous management, where talent cheques were issued only as the actual episodes aired (could be as much as 12 weeks after tapings before final instalments were delivered).

We instituted a payment policy last year to pay for all services rendered in a month in the following month, regardless of when the shows would air. Accordingly, cheques for January were mailed earlier mid-month; cheques for November were mailed mid-December (and I understand got caught up in Christmas mail delays).

We realize that one unexpected impact of moving our corporate offices to Canada has been a further delay with mail services going cross-border. We are working to streamline our talent payroll processing so future events will be paid closer to the beginning of each month after services are rendered."
