Big MyNetwork TV Shakeup, New iMPACT! Set This Week, Morgan, WWE/TNA

? FutonCritic.com reports that MyNetwork TV, the new home of WWE SmackDown, is already revamping its fall schedule by pulling the plug on all of its original prime time programming for the month of December. The shows will be replaced by reruns and various holiday specials. Smackdown will continue to air in its usual Friday time slot, but it does not say good things about the stability of the network.

? Matt Morgan was interviewed this week by the Miami Herald and spent a lot of time explaining the differences between TNA and WWE. He says one of the key differences is that WWE told him what his gimmick would be, while TNA let him give him input based on his perceived strengths and weaknesses. "TNA is letting me speak. Not every giant has to be some stoic goof," Morgan told Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald. "They could have brought me in like they did Test and said, 'Here is a former WWE talent. We're going to introduce him against Abyss next week,' the first time I came here. They didn't do that. They built me nice and slow, and they put their own brand on me. It meant more. From that, I evolved into the Matt Morgan I am now." He also talked about the slow build for his character and how he thinks it helped him. "That's how I became a better wrestler and especially a good promo person based on being under Cornette's tutelage and him paying attention to me," he said. "Jeff was right. Less is more. The slower the build, the better the payoff. He was dead set on bringing me along nice and slow in the bodyguard type role which they don't so anymore. The bodyguards get rushed into wrestling. This lasted six to eight months."

? Reader Ashley Colton is currently at tonight's TNA iMPACT! tapings in Orlando and has sent in word that we will see a completely new television set this Thursday. The previous stage and 2 entrance ramps are gone. The new setup includes new lighting and several very large high-resolution screens.
