TNA NEWS AND NOTES ON MICK FOLEY, ORLANDO JORDAN, THE FUTURE OF SUICIDE, ABYSS, NEW DVD AND TONS MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2010-02-22 10:52:53
Mick Foley has finished his fourth memoir, "Countdown to Lockdown", which will be published later this year.  Foley will be doing comedy shows on 2/24 in Baltimore and 2/25 in NYC.

TNA has no live events until the live Impact on 3/8 in order to give the crew a chance to rest and prepare for the biggest night in the history of the company.

Orlando Jordan's new female valet is an independent worker named Santana G.  His new male valet is an acquaintance from outside the business.    The dual valet gimmick is something Jordan pitched to WWE several years ago with the idea that Trinity would be in the female role and a friend outside the business would be in the male role.  The idea was dropped when Jordan was released from the company.

The Suicide character isn't being retired.  I was told someone in the new regime felt Kaz shouldn't be wrestling under a hood because of his looks and facial expressions, so a new performer will portray the Suicide character.

Abyss, who is obviously in for a huge push, has posted a new blog at this link.

TNA is developing a DVD focusing on Beer Money Inc. and The Motor City Machineguns.

The first-ever Generation Me vs. Teddy Hart and Jack Evans bout is scheduled for the 3/20 Jersey All Pro Wrestling event in Rahway, NJ.  On paper, that bout looks awesome.  In a a funny aside, Generation Me didn't know the match was even taking place until they saw it on our twitter.  Samoa Joe is also set for that event.  For tickets, visit www.japw.net.

I had the chance to watch the Best of 2009 DVD that was just released and it's awesome.  The company did a great job picking the "best" matches for different genres within the company and I was really happy to see the underrated Sarita vs. Alissa Flash match on the DVD as well.  Well worth your $15.
