TNA’s decision to get Samoa Joe pulled from ROH tours was made because they are going to put the World Title on him fairly soon and so they don’t want their champion to be doing programs or angles they are not in control of.
Jeff Jarrett met with Spike TV officials this past week. Turning Impact into a two-hour show was high on the agenda. Although nothing was settled it is still expected to happen sometime this year.
Kip James did a recent interview that got him some heat from TNA management. He said that if you’ve seen one X Division match you’ve seen them all, that TNA gives fans too much in one hour and doesn’t leave them wanting more, that they are wasting Bobby Roode’s potential and that he will be a huge star but not in TNA, that he would leave TNA in a heartbeat if WWE made him a good offer, that he left WWE on good terms and was just a victim of them trying to refresh the locker room, that women have no place in wrestling and Miss Texas and Luna Vachon are the only ones who can wrestle, that he doesn’t like Lita and putting the “ugly ass” girls of TNA into a women’s division would be a waste of their limited TV time, that he doesn’t want to see Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage and will probably drive home before the match starts, and that he can’t remember when the next TNA PPV is.
Ron Killings has been given the gimmick where he is an aspiring movie star but all his movies end up flopping. They will show his photo in movies like A Few Good Black Men and Rocky Blackboa.
Hector Guerrero (yes, the same Hector Guerrero who portrayed the famous Gobbledygooker) might end up getting involved in the LAX vs. Team 3D feud.
Christian Cage, Tyson Tomko, Scott Steiner and A.J. Styles are going to be put into a top heel group called the Christian Coalition. They will be booked so that there will always be tension between the group, with the idea of doing a slow build towards one of them turning face.
