BOBBY ROODE TALKS, THE FATE OF BULLY RAY, KURT ANGLE'S NEXT MOVE, TV AND MORE TNA NEWS

As Dave Scherer mentioned earlier this week, TNA is still working on ironing out their new TV deal. A source at SpikeTV stated last night that TNA and SpikeTV are still talking.

As I noted in a PWInsider Elite audio a few days ago, Kurt Angle is planning to move to Los Angeles so he can pursue acting full-time as he winds down his in-ring career. Angle has not yet put pen to paper on a new TNA deal but is circling oner that would allow him to work for the company part-time.

TNA posted an exclusive audio interview with new TNA champion Bobby Roode at this link.

One talent who's future remains at the crossroads is Bully Ray as his deal expired with Bound for Glory. It should be very interesting to see where he lands, as not only has he been one of the cornerstones of the TNA product over the last year, but from a creative standpoint, pitched the original angles where he would put Dixie Carter through a table as well as the idea of bringing Matt Hardy in to reprise the Hardys vs. 3D rivalry. Both of those led to some of the better TNA moments in the last year and were a big piece on the strong NYC tapings over the summer. Given his knack for coming up with strong pitches that help the company (as well as himself), his ability to help others get over and his work as an agent, there aren't a lot of talents who can be as versatile as Ray, so that has to be worth something on the open market.

Stewart sent the following...British Bootcamp 2's Grado has signed to be on "River City" which is a Scottish Soap Opera on BBC that is on weekly all year round. A Digital Spy report about the signing doesn't say how long he is going to be on it for. Grado is also appearing this week in another BBC show called "Scot Squad" which is a comedy about Scottish Police.
