TNA news

Ric Flair's TNA contract is for 65 appearances over the year, he is also said to be planning an in-ring return too.

Kaz(suicide) and Traci brooks tied the knot this week with many TNA stars in attendence, Daniels was best man.

SEan Waltman may already be in trouble, he is said to have upset backstage staff by arriving late for this weeks Impact!

The futures of Scott Steiner and Kip james are said to be hanging in the balance right now, james has been off TV for a while now and Steibner is working well in his feud with bobby Lahsley (however that will not last forever), only time will tell with these two, plus of course Hoagn's mates are coming in gradually too.

TNA Impact notes

So Hulk Hoagn finally made his (ahem) Impact on TV TV, boy was it worth the wait, the Hulkster brought with him Jeff hardy, Ric Flair, Nasty Boys, Val Venis, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and of course Eric Bischoff. The show saw appearances by all the above, plus Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles, Kurt Angle and most of the current TNA roster, highlights were Hardy's cage top salute ot the crowd, Hogan's debut, the Angle/Styles match and of course the ending where Foley was beat-down.

Dr Death

As I reported Dr Death Steve Williams did pass away this past week, for a nice piece on his life see The Sun's website for comments by Jim Ross.

TNA Hogan Debut

So we UK fans will not get to see the Hogan debut tonight, but will get a two hour version this coming Saturday, I reckon by then we will all have hit the web and seen it for ourselves via TNA'S WEBSITE OR OTHER PLACES. I'm writing a piece on it tonight anyway, I hope to be able to pick up as much as I can and report it here (or via the Sun website) by tomorrow lunchtime.

I expect some big things from Hogan's debut and to see Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and perhaps even RVD turn up as well.

Dr Death Steve Williams Passes Away

Rumours are floating abour the web that wrestling legend Dr Death Steve Williams has passed away, more on this as I get it.

Dixie & Hulk talk about TNA debut!

Hulk Hogan’s first appearance inside the six-sided ring of TNA Wrestling will follow weeks of speculation after Hogan and TNA President, Dixie Carter announced their partnership on October 27 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Hogan has hinted in various media interviews that he’ll have multiple surprises in store for TNA Wrestling fans.

“I knew when I signed with TNA, that it would be important to make a statement with the first episode. Going head-to-head with the WWE on January 4th, makes the statement loud and clear: Game on!” Hogan said.

“TNA is kicking off 2010 in the biggest way possible with the biggest name in the history of our sport. Hulk Hogan is a pop culture icon, and his arrival will change not only TNA, but the entire professional wrestling landscape. We’re firing that first shot,” Carter said.

Joining Hogan for the three-hour live “iMPACT!” will be TNA World Heavyweight Champion “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles, Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe, “The Boss” Bobby Lashley, “The Blueprint” Matt Morgan and many more.
