As we noted last night, several TNA star entrance themes were edited out of Impact Wrestling last night due to a rights issue that does not have to do with the current lawsuit being filed by Billy Corgan against TNA.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com has confirmed the music issues were due to rights, and several wrestlers had to have crowd noise dubbed over their entrance themes which were present when the show was taped. Meltzer added there was a period yesterday where it looked like there was a good chance that POP would pull the show until the issue was settled and the songs were edited out of the show.
In related news, F4WOnline is reporting this weekend is a pay period in TNA, and talent pay is due for the last set of TV tapings. As noted, TNA did receive funding for the uplink and production of the Bound for Glory PPV as well as the subsequent television tapings, but it remains unclear if the money was enough to pay the talent through the end of the year. Meltzer noted that not paying the talent would breach their contracts, and he knows that “a couple of guys” are ready to declare themselves free agents next week if they do not get paid this weekend.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
