By Nick Paglino

alberto del rioAs we previously reported, Alberto Del Rio recently turned down a big money offer from TNA, as the company wanted to bring him in for its live Impact Wrestling debut on Destination America.

Del Rio ended up turning the offer down and signed with Lucha Underground instead. On the deal offered to Del Rio by TNA, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com said the following:

“They (TNA) offered him $400,000 a year for minimal dates,” Meltzer noted Sunday on the F4WOnline.com message board in a thread about Del Rio joining Lucha Underground. “It says more about the perception in the industry that TNA is a career killer.”

In related TNA news, the following is a video preview for this week’s Impact Wrestling, featuring the return of Feast or Fired:
