- Eric Young once again topped the latest TNA Top 5 rankings, followed by Mr. Anderson, Drew Galloway, EC3 and MVP.

- As noted earlier, last Friday's "Hardcore Justice" episode of TNA Impact Wrestling drew 418,000 viewers. The replay added 131,000 viewers, bringing the total viewership to 549,000. This was down 4% from last week's total audience of 569,000 viewers (381K first run + 188K replay).

- We noted last month, TNA was working on running some live events in China later this month. For what it's worth, Damai.cn has tickets on sale at this link for a TNA live event on Friday, May 22nd at the Shanghai Grand Stage. As of this writing, TNA has yet to officially announce the show, which would be less than three weeks away. We hope to have more shortly.
