TNA News Update

Archive

Shawn Daivari, Ryan O’Reilly and Krissy Vaine, who all recently finished with WWE, are interested in joining TNA. Daivari would seem to be the one most likely to get hired but nothing is definite yet.

Junior Fatu was scheduled to lose to Christian Cage on the 01 November edition of Impact but Chris Harris wound up subbing for him. Fatu had never signed a TNA contract and was holding out for more money in negotiations. When it became clear that they weren’t going to give him it, he walked out.

According to Dave Meltzer, two ‘key’ X Division guys have been looking at getting full-time deals with AAA. They were told that AAA might bring people in occasionally for big shows but have no interest in bringing in more Americans on a permanent basis. AAA is cutting back on costs and doesn’t want to have to fly people in regularly. They may change their mind if the wrestlers commit to living in Mexico City, which Sean Waltman has done and Ron Killings may well wind up doing, but for this reason even Konnan is not a TV regular there.

In semi-related news, Alex Shelley has been speaking to Konnan about the TNA program between him and Chris Sabin and Team 3-D. Shelley is concerned about being buried by the feud and wanted advice from Konnan.
