Mr. Anderson to miss Against All Odds PPV
In a series of Twitter updates, TNA wrestler Mr. Anderson teases he will have an uphill battle making it to Florida for the Against all Odds event on Sunday.

"I've done a lot of traveling, but I've NEVER seen an airport as jammed as it was this morn," - Tweeted Anderson.

"We were put on standby, but the 1st confirmed flight isn't until MONDAY! How bout that PPV on Sunday?! So say a lil prayer for us that we actually make it onto a flight today."

Should have planned a little better Mr. Asshole Anderson. Anderson. Time will only tell if he will be at the PPV, but I'm sure TNA will figure something out. It will be interesting to see what TNA does if he doesn't make it, remember what happened when Aries and Strong still made it to the PPV but didn't listen to TNA about leaving early, they got fired. I doubt TNA would do anything to Anderson, but they should, otherwise it just shows they are going to kiss ass to all the new "bigger" "wwe-er" stars.

Lashley believes he is done with TNA
Earlier this week, Bobby Lashley's superstar profile was removed from the TNA website, leading many to speculate that he was leaving the company to pursue his MMA career full time.

Lashley now tells Heavy.com that he's under the impression that his relationship with TNA Wrestling has come to an end and he plans to focus on his MMA fighting career.

"I don't really know much man. I had a talk with the guys a while back about doing both. Everything seemed to be working well. I think maybe there were some complications there towards the end," Lashley said. "I got back home and got all these calls from people saying that I had been released from wrestling. So as far as I know, I've been released, so yes, I can focus full time on MMA."

I still think it might be a work, and if not, big deal and thank god. Honestly, I rather have Monty Brown in TNA then Booby Lashley.

TNA making a "major annoucement" on Monday
TNA will be making a "major announcement" this Monday at the Impact Zone in Orlando, FL.

Company president Dixie Carter and Hulk Hogan will be making the announcement at 2:30 p.m. EST before TNA tapes its next set of Impact episodes.

Most likely this will be an announcement about IMPACT moving to Monday Nights. Let's just hope they know what they are doing so we don't lose this one like we did the last one.

Kong Staying/Hogan Turning Heel and more

Awesome Kong Staying in TNA


While nothing has been official been said by either party, the belief is that Awesome Kong has been talked into staying with TNA.

Kong requested her release from the organization following a backstage altercation with Bubba the Love Sponge a few weeks ago. Though it should be noted that she was reportedly upset with her pay as well

Hogan Heel Turn

Hulk Hogan claimed on the Bubba the Love Sponge show this week that he would be turning heel soon.

Hogan also said he didn’t want his daughter Brooke to become a character in wrestling.

Misc. TNA News

Eric Bischoff has came up with the idea of doing ratings for top TNA contenders to justify them getting World Heavyweight Title shots. The Against All Odds countdown show last week saw the debut of the rating system.

Kurt Angle has been wanting a reduction in his TNA work schedule.

Former WWE wrestler Johnny Stamboli, who wrestled as Rellik during his previous stint in TNA, inquired about returning to the organization as part of a tag team with Chuck Palumbo, but company officials were said to not be interested.

Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne of The Beautiful People recently took part in a photo shoot for FHM in the U.K., which is their equivalent of Maxim. This should be high profile exposure for TNA since it's the No. 2 selling men's magazine in the country.

Today is reigning TNA Women's Knockout Champion Tara's birthday. The five-time champion turns 39 years old.

Destination X to be an all X-Division PPV
Promotional material has been released for the 3/21 TNA Destination X PPV in Orlando, Florida. The rumors have now been confirmed that the PPV will be an "All X-Division" PPV.

The promotional blurb for the show on InDemand's website reads, "The past, present, and future collide when the young guns of TNA take center stage in an all X-Division Pay-Per-View! TNA Wrestling presents Destination X LIVE! Sunday, March 21, 2010 on Pay-per-View."

The poster for the PPV features Daniels, The Motor City Machineguns, Jay Lethal, Suicide, The Amazing Red, D'Angelo Dinero, Consequences Creed and Kiyoshi.

I'm getting tired of all these damn theme PPV's. It was cool with Lock Down, it was something different. Now that almost all PPV's on WWE's ends are becoming themed why does TNA have to follow. They had the upper hand, they had the first themed PPV. Don't get me wrong, I love the X-Division, and it definitely deserves it's own PPV, but they don't have to be so simple about it, they don't have to make every match an X-Division match to make it an X Themed PPV. Royal Rumble is a  good example, everybody knows what the PPV is about, but they still have other types of matches. Leave some comments, let's hear your views.

Lashley Done with TNA?
The TNA website has removed Bobby Lashley's profile from its roster page, which suggests he is no longer affiliated with the organization.

Hulk Hogan recently said that he and Lashley would need to have 'a serious talk' regarding his simultaneous involvement with professional wrestling and mixed martial arts.

"You can't put [Strikeforce] ahead of us," Hogan told Sports Illustrated. "That's not going to work me. I'm going to fix that real quick."

Lashley, who took his MMA record to 5-0 by defeating Wes Sims, said that his Strikeforce debut would go a long way toward deciding his future in the wrestling industry.

Lashley is scheduled to fight at Strikeforce's next event on Apr. 17. His opponent has yet to be determined.

Personally, I think this is a work. Only time will tell, but I would expect to see Lashley back in TNA.

Flair Planning a Return to the Ring
Source: Hamptonroads.com

After a 36-year career, Flair called it quits in 2008.

Again, his exit was short-lived.

Wooooooooo!

Flair made several cameo appearances on WWE after retiring. He did autograph sessions for smaller independent promotions, including one in Norfolk. Last year, he took part in Hulk Hogan's Australian Hulkamania Tour and caused an Internet sensation when he bloodied Hogan at a news conference.

He longed to get back to his storied place in the spotlight.

TNA had the fix.

"I just missed the business, and they created a very nice opportunity for me," said Flair, who made famous his figure-four-leg-lock finishing move. He said he already had a good relationship with talent relations coordinator Terry Taylor.

"I wasn't sure if it was something I wanted to do. But I'm a big fan of (TNA star) Kurt Angle, and working with Hulk in Australia really showed me how much I missed things."

TNA has made it perfectly clear during its broadcasts and pay-per-views that it intends to challenge WWE for its spot as the No. 1 wrestling promoter in the world. TNA's lineup is stocked with former WWE superstars and talented newcomers.

"They really are in the right mold, and they have the money to create a good product," Flair said. "They're going to get really better in a real short period of time. And I'm excited about the chance to be a part of that."

Flair's role currently has him advising TNA champion A.J. Styles, much to the chagrin of Hogan, who also recently signed with the organization in a "boss-man" role designed to help take TNA to the top.

The two megastars already have had on-camera confrontations.

"The feud thing with Hogan will play out later," Flair said. "The story line right now is that they've made all these changes to be competitive, and I'm just a part of that."

And yes, Flair fans, the Nature Boy will be getting back into the ring.

"Yep," Flair said. "And probably sooner than later, much to my dismay.

"Things are happening quickly."

Hart Says He'll Never Work w/ Hogan/Bischoff
Bret Hart posted the following message on his Facebook page:

"It was nice seeing Jeremy Borash, a longtime friend of mine, from TNA while I was in Nashville. He hung out with me and we never once talked wrestling. Some feeble minded idiot who saw us in plain view tried to start the rumour that I might be heading to TNA next; although why anyone would ever think I'd let Hogan and Bischoff anywhere near my Hitman persona again is truly beyond me."

Jimmy Hart may be making a Return
Another one steps out of the cobwebs of wrestling history to make a triumphant return to TNA wrestling thanks to our orange buddy, Hulk Hogan.

Jimmy Hart was saying that he might return to TNA as a manager for The Nasty Boys(3's apparently a shit crowd). Hart recently told Crave Online that he might be returning soon to “manage some of the guys again” and when asked if it would be WWE or TNA he returned to, he said most likely TNA.

Well there you have it folks, Jimmy Hart will probably coming back to TNA, I just hope this time they don't let him put advertisements for his energy drink on the ramp.
