Perkins also had the following to say via his ask.fm page when asked about recent reports of TNA’s failure to pay talent on time:

“If that’s all it says, then all false. I have a feeling that’s not all it says tho. Also any large scale business would stop operating well before their financial books got to that point. Ppl that think any large scale business would operate down to the last penny have no sense of how pretty much any business works and are most likely lifetime 9-5ers and have never been exposed to a higher tier of the business world.

Think about it, if your job costed you more money than you were making from it…would you continue to stick it out down to your last dollar in the bank? Or would you have bailed out long before that deficit overtook you?

Further more what if your job was considered an asset, and someone was willing to pay you to take your place at your job…which is costing you more than you are making from it…wouldn’t you field that offer before you get down to your last dollar?

It’s common sense. No business would continue to try to operate under those circumstances. Anyone who thinks so watches too much television.

And of course it’s possible that ppl can miss a paycheck. That could happen in a 9-5 job. So of course it could happen in a traveling entertainment based job, with an irregular schedule, unconventional clock in and work logging, and under the umbrella of a larger company that funds it from a separate office in a separate city and state.

It’s the wildly presumptuous reasoning behind why someone might miss a paycheck or that it’s an epidemic happening that is irrational. Not to mention ppl’s idea of how a large scale business operates.”
