I dont mind typos on DVDs which can't be changed, or ones which are caught quickly. But this has been up for days and it would take seconds to fix.

Surely a typo on a DVD is much worse considering it's permanent as opposed to a headline that'll be gone by next week. And in both cases who really cares (unless it's becomes much more unfortunate like a Spike press release a few years back saying Kockout instead of Knockout).

Both are bad, but you could fix this one in seconds, and since they are hyping this guy is from a show, they could get the name right.

I know its only a minor thing and it's not that its a big deal. It's just something small which should have been fixed days ago and for some reason they've not.

TNA World champion James Storm says he could be out of action for up to two months after suffering a concussion at last Wednesday’s Impact Wrestling television tapings from Macon, Georgia.

Storm tweeted the following on Monday morning (@Cowboy_J_Storm):

“Had a ct head scan and a MRI yesterday. Hate when doctors just come in and give you a look. Just tell me the bad news. Cowboy up!!!

Later in the day, he followed up with the results:

“Confirmed…. TV tapings in Macon the cowboy sustaind(sic) a concussion. Doc says 6-8 weeks. But that’s for a normal man.”

Despite the concussion (which wasn’t diagnosed until Monday), Storm wrestled at TNA’s live events from California on Thursday and Friday.

Hate to see a wrestler snake bit at this time of their career.

Has that shown been recorded yet? If so, who was the partner for the six man? Curious to know if they involved someone who isnt already a star in this feud or if its not going to put anyone new over.

Abyss.

Thanks Machismo.

I havent been watching the last few weeks but has anyone brought up the fact that Hardy gave Anderson a concussion and gloated about potentially ending his career and now they are teaming together again? Or have they just ignored that and decided the fact that they both have problems with Immortal is enough?

They've just ignored it so far.

Great acting by Roode here.

The turn came off ten times better than anybody could have anticipated. It was a wonderful piece of work.

I'm watching impact now really looking forward to the main event even though I know the result for weeks now,doubt i'll bother watching the pre recording Raw when I check to results tomorrow evening. Wow a ad for WWE 12 not featuring Vader but they have the rock all over the ad instead of any full time "SuperStars"

Jesus joe looked like Bobby from the Soprano's there talking to Sting who has gone back to Bono Sting instead of the much cooler Joker Sting.

It came off really well never thought i'd say that,match was great too. Yeah it would of been nicer if it happened in a few months time but I loved the moment when you seen him look at the bottle and then grab it. Its not often you praise the camerawork in tna (wwe's are top notch in that category) but that was ace.

gnfnrhead

It did come across great but I'd change one thing. The post match. Roode battled with cheating and then when he won it was like it was never a problem. If he had shown some remorse instead of going straight into the celebrations I think it would have been better. Either way, it was still incredibly well done.

TNA Wrestling star A.J. Styles recently commented on his injured ankle.
"Rolled out of bed to see how the ankle was after last night," Styles tweeted on Saturday. "Not good, crap!!!."
Later on, Styles noted that he wasn't completely aware of the severity of the injury, but hopes to be ready for TNA's Turning Point PPV which takes place next weekend.

They already have the ideal opponent set up for Roode if AJ can't make it.

TNA has signed a developmental deal with Louisville, Kentucky's Ohio Valley Wrestling.
In a statement released to PWInsider, TNA announced OVW would now be a "development and training facility" for the promotion, with Bruce Prichard working closely with OVW owner Danny Davis in the development of future TNA talents.

While TNA has never had an official developmental territory, they had in the past subsidizing wrestler's training at the Team 3D Wrestling Academy in Florida, including former CBS reality star Jessie Godderz.

Based on the statement issued to PWInsider, TNA would be sending talent to OVW to train and hone their skills. The company's new project in India for the Colors Network was slated to include training ten new Indian talents that would be regulars for the new TV series being developed for that market, so I would assume this is where they will be trained.

OVW was the official developmental territory for WWE from 2000 through 2008, helping to develop, among others, John Cena, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar and Batista.

Garrett Bischoff is going to have to help put Danny Davis's butt plug back in.

gnfnrhead

That's a really good deal for TNA. Guys like Rob Terry and Jesse Neal could have really used some time in development before being thrown on screen.

This is rather funny as OVW is pretty much Cornette's child and Russo now has his dirty New York hands on it. Jim trolled again.

The 11/10 edition of TNA iMPACT! Wrestling drew a 1.23 (1.2) cable rating, with 1.7 million viewers. The show faced stiff competition with the return of NFL Football to Thursday nights. WWE RAW faced similar competition with the big Monday night game.

It has been reported that there was some sort of backstage incident at the Ohio Valley Wrestling event last night in Louisville, Kentucky at the Davis Arena. It involved OVW star Mohammad Ali Vaez and former WWE star Cliff “Domino” Compton.

Vaez was apparently upset over the finish of their match and began complaining once Compton came into the locker room. According to the storyline, Compton was fighting for the honor of one-legged veteran Michael Hayes, who was injured by Vaez. When Hayes showed up for the match, Compton gave Vaez and low blow and pinned him.

This led to Vaez getting very angry when Compton entered the locker room. It almost became physical, and others in the locker room had to hold them back. The attitude from those present is that if Vaez was angry, he chose the wrong time to do something, and that a veteran like Compton did not deserve to be spoken to that way in front of others.

Mohammed Ali Vaez made an appearance on the OVW Overview podcast and the incident was brought up. Vaez said he did not want to discuss “dirty laundry” in a public forum, but insinuated that the original report was overblown.

Jeff Hardy’s recently revealed that his current probation allows him to leave his home after 6:00 p.m. but only to work. When Hardy isn’t booked for events, he is not allowed out of the house after 6:00 p.m. and is not allowed to have visitors over to his home. This will be the rule for the next four months.
