– Jeremy Borash posted a message on Twitter that tonight's TNA iMPACT! will feature a new opening video and theme song. He said it "looks awesome."

Jenna Williams sent this one along: I went to the grand opening at Bobby Lashley's new gym, ATT Altitude... It was a very nice place, it had an MMA cage, a boxing ring, and a closed in section with wrestling mats on the floor, it even had a massage room. They were holding free classes all day including Yoga, Jiu Jitsu, boxing demonstrations, Muy Thai, etc. They also had a Lucha Libre match...I walked in during the last match of it and it ended with one of the guys walking out of the ring and having the other guy win by countout...After the match ended, Bobby got in the ring and attacked the ref, then another wrestler (which appeared to be an MMA fighter) got in the ring and started teaming with Bobby against the ref — once the ref got out of the ring, Bobby attacked the other fighter. The event was catered by Qdoba and a local pizza place. There were several sponsors that were holding contests and also giving away free energy shots, shot glasses, and sports drinks. After that, they did a ring girl competition that I got to compete in for a $300 cash prize, 6 month gym membership, and a couple of other prizes. The contest consisted of parading around the cage with the "Round 1" poster, doing a boxing challenge with the oversized boxing gloves, doing a pushup stand contest to see who could hold the pushup the longest, a Q&A session, and a little dance off at the end. MMA fighters and boxers were the judges of the contest. Although I didn't win, I got sent home with a nice set of new boxing gloves, a t-shirt, and a 3 month gym membership! Everyone that I saw were definitely having a great time. Bobby was very nice and posed for pictures with everyone that asked him to. I asked Bobby if he was going to teach a wrestling class and he said that he really wants to get one going soon.
