Spoiler for tonight's Impact taping.

They've just downgraded the picture for it's freeview launch today according to other people on the forums.

Ric Flair has a torn rotator cuff, which usually means he's out for at least 6 months.

I wonder if this will be Sting from TNA?

It's more likely to be Taker methinks.

Compare this though to the Starcade 97 promo. Very Similar and similar to Stings website too.

But wait: :O

Maybe another storyline for TNA?

Genesis on Wednesday @ 10pm is down for only being 3 hours long.
Hopefully it is not edited to bits and just cut most of the ad breaks out as it is an old one.

Anyone know any more on this?

Thats what Im worried about. Knowing Sky they will cut out all the violent parts.

What Freeview channel is it on? I cant see Challenge on freeview

46. You'll need to retune your box/telly.

Ah cheers fella

I'm interested to see how they put all the impacts that were missed since bravo finished into the schedule.

January 9th - Genesis PPV (airing Wed 9/2 @ 10pm)
February 10th - iMPACT - 7 (airing Tue 15/2)

All TNA's are on the series recording now on Virgin Media. Even Thursdays and Fridays. + the PPV's too.

Problem is though the PPV shows as only 3 hours long on the guide as 10-1am. Where do the ads come into that?

I have recorded and cut out the ads on PPVs before and the 4 hour show ends up lasting just over 2 hours 15. So with ads still loads room for 3 hours. Hopefully.

I'm quite pleased that Christopher Daniels is back as Suicide - he was a much better fit for the character than Frankie Kazarian was.

Hopefully it might ultimately lead to a proper return as himself somewhere down the line.

Kevin Nash's twitter
When wcw took over the WWE for the short time we did, it's bc Ted Turner paid HUGE $ for talent. Wanna put tna on the map, Mrs. Carter? Set aside $50m. Start with Cena and work backwards. Don't walk into a Mercedes showroom and ask what new AMG S-63 I can buy for $25K.

Dont know if he thinks he is a Mercedes,but he might have a point?

Quick reminder:

First TNA Impact show on Challenge airs TONIGHT at midnight!

It will be the December 30th episode.

Also, upcoming spoiler for a match on the Against All Odds ppv:



How ridiculous is that?

and being the massive Daniels mark i am , I'm overjoyed hes back, Even as suicide, I adore Daniels and i hope he gets treated better this time around.

A very interesting stip in my book.

He has a very good point. Thing is, you'd need an investor who had enough money to lose. You'd also need an investor who wouldn't think twice about taking on a billion dollar worldwide brand.

Sure, if I had somewhere in the ballpark of two to three hundred million, i'd give it a punt. But it's all well and good bring in the likes of Cena and the other big names, you need good booking behind it.

So if i did have that kind of money, the first thing i'd do is get rid of Russo and hire a whole new booking team.

Heyman is obviously everyone's default choice, but i wouldn't necessarily automatically hire him for that reason.

I don't think so.

Kurt Angle didn't help, Jeff Hardy didn't help, Hulk Hogan didn't help. Spending a ton of money to bring in established names clearly isn't a surefire solution. If you're going to draw fans away from WWE with a big name, you need to have something in place to convince them to stay.

And on top of that, TNA can't promote itself as the alternative to WWE by bringing in John Cena.
