Tons Of TNA News: Injuries, Angle's Status, Sting/Angle, More

The reason that TNA is giving away the first ever Sting vs. Kurt Angle match away for free on Impact this week is likely due to the fact that they are in negotiations with SpikeTV to expand their timeslot and stronger ratings will help their cause.

Hot Topic stores have started carrying TNA merchandise. Various TNA t-shirts will be selling for $18.

Robert Roode is suffering from some sort of leg injury.

Gail Kim posted the following about her Lockdown match with Jackie Moore on her website, thegailkim.com. "OK.... so to sum up this whole PPV event, I would say the moment was the best of my career. Unfortunately, I don't think the fans at home got to see what I experienced after the match... that was the best feeling. It was the first time in my career that I actually felt so emotional after a match that I shed tears from happiness. Literally. Nothing yet has compared to that moment yet. I hope there are more future moments like that not only for myself but for other females in this business. thanks to everyone for their support and thanks to TNA for giving us the opportunity to have that moment."

In an article in the Bristol Press, Kurt Angle says he is enjoying working smaller crowds. "Those are some great fans. They were incredible. I really did mean what I said – they do kick WWE fans' (butts). I'd rather wrestle in front of those 1,500 fans, which had the charisma and created a hostile environment, than 32,000 people that don't do anything."
