[TNA] News Splat

Archive

– Bound For Glory will take place on the 22nd October at the Compuware Arena in Plymouth, Michigan. The arena has a capacity of 4,500 and the ICP-promoted TNA house show from a few months ago drew 3,170 paid. ICP will not be involved in the promotion of the PPV, according to Dave Meltzer.

– TNA is also negotiating with South American agencies about hosting a number of live events at major arenas across the continent, as well as in Central America.

– Ricky Banderas is expected to join LAX shortly. He was the original choice for the group but was replaced by Hernandez due to Puerto Rican politics involving Dutch Mantel, who was allied to WWC while Banderas was contracted to the IWA.

– There is talk of having the Sting/Jarrett feud escalate into a Loser Leaves Town match.

– There has been major heat backstage between Jarrett and Ron Killings for a while. Tempers flared again over Killings having to job to A1 on a recent Xplosion match and he threatened to quit on the spot. Sean Waltman has been trying to convince Killings to join the Wrestling Society X project.

– Also, Monty Brown still has heat backstage. This is not just because of the contract situation but because TNA wants him to evolve his interviews into something more serious and intense, while Brown continues to stick with the Serengeti and such.
