A green-as-grass signing from India that they picked up for some reason and put in James Storm's "This Ain't The Wyatt Family XXX" stable. He was in Ring Ka King before.

Turns out 'PR' stands for 'Pelf-Relusion'. Dixie can't even spell right.

Jeff can't travel to the UK, which is the only place on the planet where TNA could be mistaken for a real promotion, and even that's less true with each passing year.

TNA are doing their latest attempt to brand themselves as the wrestling fans friend (the last time was the abomination that was the "Wrestling Matters" campaign in 2011) and it would appear they're doing some market research under it's guise:

TNA scrapped their April Impact tapings and are now taping this weekend instead, according to Wrestlezone:

quote:

TNA Scraps April TV Tapings

TNA has pulled the scheduled Universal Studios TV taping dates in April from their website. As of this writing, the dates are still listed on the Universal site, but they aren’t going to happen. As noted, TNA will be taping Impact Wrestling in Orlando from 3/13-3/16, and the company reportedly emailed talent and notified them of the April change.

According to Garrett Kidney the only TNA fan left I know who isn't mental apparently they'll be taping five shows in May instead. Which would mean no Slammiversary PPV in June.
