Well, I would think they get priority but ... there's relatively few NWA promotions doing much in the way of TV or video these days and all of the ROH guys are still working for other promotions.

Plus Mike Johnson has reported (although the guy is an absolute jerk personally, his stuff is accurate more often than not) that
I can confirm that the deals are simply to prevent the performers from being signed by TNA or World Wrestling Entertainment for the duration of the deals. The contracts do not prevent the talents from working other independent events, from being seen on DVDs released by other companies or claim ownership of character names and likenesses. They are simply a way for the promotion to protect their assets.
