Airing on PPV this month are Unfinished Business PPVs themed to Magnus' rise in TNA and The Maximum Impact tour. Of course, TNA will broadcast a live PPV from Universal Studios, Sacrifice, on 4/27 as well.

The One Night Only: Joker's Wild 2 PPV will air next month.

TNA will announce a new Hall of Famer at Slammiversary.

James Storm will appear on the debut episode of the new Sarah Palin-hosted series "Amazing America" tomorrow 4/3 at 8 PM on The Sportsman Channel. The Channel's preview for the episode reads, "Professional wrestler Cowboy James Storm brings us on a tour of his Nashville ranch, and shows off a few moves on our host, Jerry Carroll. True to his name, 'Cowboy' James Storm is in fact a cowboy, he loves riding on his ranch. Also and avid hunter, James hunts white tailed deer and wild turkey on his land. He will show us his collection of guns, including his first gun he received from his stepfather, and tell some great stories behind the firearms."

Former TNA PR head Steven Godfrey has a new column up on SBNation, looking at the time period TNA decided to push Orlando Jordan as a bi-sexual character with a male and female valet, although Jordan is not mentioned by name. It's a really good, funny (in that TNA thought this was a good idea) and sad (in that TNA thought this could get them good publicity in LGBT circles) piece that you can check out at this link.

There was talk of NYC tapings being the week of 6/25, but as of yet, nothing is signed with the venue.

TNA will hold the first ever Twitter Q&A with Creative & Talent Relations head John Gaburick tomorrow before Impact Wrestling.

TNA will be running Georgia this weekend with a trio of live events.

The company is running Thursday 4/3 Augusta, GA at The Bell Auditorium. Friday 4/4, they are in Macon, at the Macon Centreplex Coliseum. Saturday 4/5, they close out the triple-shot in Dalton, GA at the Northwest Georgia Trade & Convention Center.
