Last night's Impact Wrestling did not air as originally planned on The Fight Network as the file that was sent with the episode was corrupted. The Fight Network later played the correct episode as they were sent a new copy of the correct file but in the meantime, ran a repeat. The file sent to Pop did not have any issues.
For those who have asked, Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantel had no say in the creative direction of this past week's Impact Wrestling tapings in Orlando. It was the team of John Gaburick, Matt Conway, etc. writing and directing the storylines, some of which were already in place before the end of the Billy Corgan era.
Don West was brought back to help the company liquidate a lot of stock that is sitting in the warehouse in Nashville, TN. I was told it was a Jeff Jarrett suggestion. We are told there is going to be a massive unloading of merchandise with insane, even for Don West, deals. Seeing Don on the video today made me smile actually - he was always a great hand for the company and added a great deal to their merchandise and live event end and with all due respect to others, was a loss that was never, ever replaced.
There is a lot of talk that TNA management and staff will all be condensed to be in one place. Currently, they are split between the TNA warehouse and the production office at Skyway Studios, which are located in two different areas of Nashville. I have said this on Elite audio, but I really wonder if the long-term plan will see Anthem move the company to Toronto when all is said and done.
Dixie Carter was not involved with or at any of the Impact tapings this past week. That pretty much goes without saying, but since a few people asked, I wanted to clarify that.
