J.R. to address the fans this Thursday; NWA: TNA to pay talent for ROH dates Submitted by Richard Gray on Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 12:32 PM EST
Jim Ross is scheduled as an in-studio guest for this Thursday’s edition of Byte This on WWE.com. The show is set to be an “announcer’s edition” with call-ins from Michael Cole and Bill DeMott. It should be interesting to see what Jim Ross has to say since he is known for tackling questions head on and with the recent news of Steve Austin leaving WWE; it will be good to see what he has to say on the topic.
The decision has been made by upper NWA: TNA management to go ahead and pay their wrestlers for the Ring of Honor dates they were yanked from several weeks back. According to those within the TNA locker room, the company has agreed to pay Jerry Lynn, AJ Styles, and Christopher Daniels for two ROH dates which would have taken place in St. Paul, MN and Chicago Ridge, IL. Several sources within the industry are praising the move and are happy to know that the company cares about their talent.
