Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Carter and Dave Sahadi are in New York City today meeting with Spike TV executives regarding the marketing, production, and promotion of Impact! when it debuts on Spike this fall.
Speaking of Sahadi, his old right hand man during their respective run in WWE, Kevin Sullivan (not the wrestler) is said to have taken a position with TNA and will be heading up the production team. Sullivan is expected by some to start with the company on 8/29 and relocate to Nashville. The two worked together during the Attitude era.
Some of the names in TNA’s “Internet Dream Match” poll will be Jay Lethal, Roderick Strong, and Austin Aries. All three were contacted over the weekend by Jeremy Borash. The plan is to announce the poll winner later this week, not the night of the Sacrifice PPV, so TNA will advertise who faces X-Division Christopher Daniels this Sunday at the Sacrifice PPV in advance. The poll is expected to appear on TNA’s website this afternoon.
St. Louis, Missouri and Asbury Park, New Jersey have both been discussed about potential new markets for TNA to run PPV events down the line.
Sonjay Dutt is scheduled to do a promotional tour of India this September to help promote TNA on ESPN Star Sports, where it debuted on 8/2.
TNA announced that Wal-Mart will be carrying an Anthology box set featuring the Victory Road, Turning Point, and Lockdown PPV events.
