The status of talks between Paul Heyman and TNA Wrestling is being described as “cold,” according to a new report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
In addition to the ongoing standstill on negotiation points, Dixie Carter developed a bit of animosity towards Heyman upon learning that he pitched ideas directly to Spike TV. As a whole, she has been unhappy with how the situation with Heyman has been portrayed publicly and privately, and the Spike TV story gave the impression he was going behind her back.
Kevin Sullivan is reportedly still interested in a chief booking role with TNA, although nobody internally speaks of him as a major candidate.
