Former NFL star turned pro wrestler Quinn "Moose" Ojinnaka, 32, debuted at the end of Impact Wrestling, aligning himself with Mike Bennett to ruin the TNA title vs. title bout between TNA champion Bobby Lashley and X-Division champion Eddie Edwards. Moose had been in discussions for several weeks with TNA. PWInsider.com has confirmed that Moose signed a two year deal that will see him work 110 dates for the company. There had been some interest in him from WWE (which he had at least one tryout for in the past) but the decision was made not to offer him a deal after there was initial interest in having him go through the pre-screening process for a NXT deal. He was kept from the Impact Zone for most of the day and didn't arrive until right before TNA began filming.
The latest Matt Hardy vignettes were filmed yesterday at his home in Cameron, North Carolina. His butler was played by Brad Stutts, the long-time booker of CWF Mid-Atlantic, a great NC-based independent promotion. Rita the servant was played by a close friend of Reby Sky. That, by the way, was Hardy's real theater room - it is awesome and I am quite jealous of it.
The main event for the next week's Thursday Impact Wrestling will be Bobby Lashley vs. Eddie Edwards inside the Six Sides of Steel with the idea that it will prevent interference from Bennett and Moose.
