New TNA Talent, Backstage Flair-TNA Update, Styles' Storyline

? Kazuchika Okada of New Japan Pro Wrestling started with the TNA this week at the TV tapings.

? Ric Flair is exploring the possibility of opening a gym and wrestling school in Charlotte, North Carolina. Flair had previously owned Gold's Gyms years ago, and when he sold them, he had a non-compete which ran out at the end of this past year.

? As we've seen in recent weeks on iMPACT!, Nature Boy Ric Flair has taken TNA Champion AJ Styles under his wing. The basis for the storyline is that Ric Flair is the consummate World Champion. AJ Styles is a master in his own right inside the ropes, but Flair will teach Styles how to be a World Champion outside the ring ? the women, the limousines, etc. TNA wants AJ Styles to be the kind of guy that stands out in a crowd, which is why they've been suggesting for him to bleach his hair blond. He now has highlights.
