Impact is apparently offering to pay people $50 per day to attend their TV tapings this week at the Aberdeen Pavilion in Ottawa, Ontario.
The casting service Smyth Casting posted information, which you can see below, saying that people will be paid “to sit in the audience and watch a thrilling night of wrestling provided to you by IMPACT!”
Impact held the Bound for Glory PPV there on Sunday night, which was reported to be sold out, but obviously are finding it difficult to fill the venue for all five nights of TV tapings this week. Impact will be taping Monday-Friday at the same venue, which seats somewhere around 2,000 people. Even though this sounds sort of embarrassing, it’s not really surprising and kind of understandable since that is a relatively large amount of seats to have to fill for six nights in a row at the same venue. The listing says that they’re only looking for 50-75 audience members per day and only for the Tuesday-Thursday shows.
