Lance Storm Comments On TNA Plans To Air IMPACT Live Weekly

It was revealed over the last week that TNA were looking at securing a brand new television rights deal, with the intended direction seeing TNA IMPACT air live each and every week of the year, with the company eyeing up a deal of around $10 million per year. It was noted soon after that TNA’s search for a new deal looked to be entering its final stages. 

The move to live programming for TNA isn’t something that will suit everybody though - one of those being TNA producer Lance Storm, who spoke on the changes he’d have to make if the company began airing live each week, revealing on Wrestling Observer Live that he’d be unable to attend shows, and perhaps even cease working there. 

“Yeah, this has been talked about many times and my answer is always there’s a good chance I won’t be working there if that happens. I love TNA, I love my job, I love everyone that I work with. But, my life has always been a balance of my home life and my schedule and the idea of flying out early Wednesday to not get home till later in the day Friday is a three-day week job and I’m not sure that’s in the cards for me anymore. Maybe we could work out a deal that I didn’t do every week. Who knows? I would do everything I could to stay with the company should that happen and that’d be great if they could get a great media rights deal. But, I’m not looking at a full-time schedule at this point in my life.”

TNA President Carlos Silva explained that he believed TNA to be in the 60 to 90 day range in getting a new deal completed.
