As we’ve been reporting, TNA started drug testing their wrestlers at this week’s iMPACT! tapings. Wrestlers were told that they will be fined $200 if they test positive for marijuana.

It was reported last week that Germán Figueroa, better known as former TNA wrestler Apolo, missed a court date in Puerto Rico and is now serving a 30 day sentence. Figueroa, who recently signed with WWE, is in jail for a month after missing a court hearing in Puerto Rico regarding his domestic abuse case with wife Habana. Both sides had agreed to dismiss the case. The only thing Apolo had to do was show up to court. However, Apolo missed a few court dates and his latest no-show set the judge off. He ordered him imprisoned until the next court date on February 25th. Apolo was scheduled to start in WWE’s developmental league Florida Championship Wrestling at around this time.

Both these markets are proven wrestling territories, especially in the WCW days, but with TNA going in with ringside seats at $150 a shot, they may be out pricing themselves. Feedback from there recent house shows have been great, but they may want to re-evaluate their pricing to increase attendance and grow there brand in the long-term.
