NWA TNA News: Randy Savage Return Stipulations, Turning Point Details, Politics

Archive

– Randy Savage was back at the TNA taping, flanked by Bryan Adams. Backstage rumors include that one of Savage’s demands to return was that Jimmy Hart not be allowed anywhere near him or in the gorilla position when he is appearing, due to Hart and Hulk Hogan’s close relationship. Also part of his return agreement: limo service from his home to the event, a private dressing room, and two security guards of his choice at the events (last night’s were supposedly Bryan Adams and Ron Harris, although some say Harris just visiting).

– Dutch Mantel and Jeremy Borash booked last night’s tapings, amidst rumors about TNA’s current political power spurned on by a long conversation Dixie Carter apparently had with Dave Sahadi.

– The WWE/TNA issue will be addressed on Friday’s Impact, with fans voting on NWATNA.com about whether or not they should air the footage from their Universal Studios encounter.

– Kevin Nash threw the Amazing Red into the side of a trailer, similar to the famous NWO/WCW “lawn dart” angle with Nash and Rey Mysterio Jr.

– Former WCW worker Dale Torborg “the Kiss Demon” and son of baseball’s Jeff Torborg was backstage.

– The Turning Point PPV would be held in Orlando, Florida on 12/5.

– At the PPV will be a Six Sides of Steel match between AMA and XXX< with the current plan being for the losing team to split up forever. – The helmet Raven wore at the Impact tapings is a replica of the Helmet of King Elendil from the Lord of the Rings.

– Former WCW magazine publisher Colin Bowman was at the taping last night talking to Dixie Carter in the crowd during the main event. He has a store that gives out tickets to the tapings.
