Kurt Angle/Vince Russo News, Konnan/LAX Update, & More

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Vince Russo and Kurt Angle have been together a lot because Angle is being given a lot of control over his own character. Angle has been very interested in TNA and keeping a close eye on everything, and most backstage in TNA enjoy getting suggestions and feedback from him on what s going on.

Although there aren t many details yet, TNA is looking to make Chicago their next major PPV market.

Konnan s hip is in really bad shape right now. He has tried everything possible to avoid hip replacement surgery, but nothing has worked out. He s said to barely even be able to take a few steps without being clearly in incredible pain. The feeling is that if he doesn t get the surgery soon he may need a wheelchair, and one source says that he was almost in need of one at the last show. Several backstage are saying that Konnan is more intense and passionate than he has been in years with the LAX storyline, and would love to be able to wrestle right now.
