[TNA] Backstage News From Against All Odds And Build Up For Next Month

Archive

As of last night, the plan for the X-division is to have a rematch between AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels for the X-Division championship at the Impact! taping tomorrow. A 4-way Ultimate X match also seems to be scheduled with the winner taking on 3 others who will be determined at tomorrow’s taping.

Word has it that TNA’s next PPV Destination X on 3/13 will feature NWA champion Jeff Jarrett vs. Diamond Dallas Page and Jeff Hardy vs. Abyss in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

No decision seems to have been made on what name Billy Gunn will go by. Any attempt to use names like Bad Ass, Ass or Outlaw will likely be dealt with by WWE legal. He wore a shirt last night with the initials “N.I.N.” for No Introductions Necessary.

For those of you wondering about Scott Hall, Hall was removed from the card last week, quietly, due to concerns over Hall’s behavior over in Korea during a tour promoted by NWA Mid-Atlantic. It is not believe he has been dropped from the promotion at this time.

Sean Waltman’s was apparently in a lot of pain backstage before his run-in during the main event. Reportedly he has a sore back from taking bumps in the Tijuana ring he worked in on Friday evening for Moras promotion, teaming with BG Jammes and Billy Gunn in a loss to Konnan, Rey Misterio Sr. and Psicosis.

Representatives for the Speed Channel were at the PPV filming footage of Jeff Hammond for a segment for a new show called “NASCAR Nation.” The piece will focus on what a non-wrestler has to go through when working inside a wrestling ring. TNA was very strict with the camera crew in that they didn’t want footage of the match being laid out taped, but the crew did capture some footage of Hammond going over the bout that was said to be very interesting.

Don Harris is said to have be very excited about being back in the ring
.
There were a little over 900 fans admitted into the PPV last night.

For those who are wondering, Phi-Delta Slam are Florida independent performers who used to do enhancement work for WCW.

Chris Candido, The Naturals, and CM Punk were backstage at the PPV.
