TNA has moved their December Final Resolution PPV to 12/7. The show was originally scheduled for 12/14 but WWE ended up scheduling Armageddon for that date, so TNA had to move their PPV.

Mentioned in the press release below is that next week's live TNA iMPACT! from the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas will feature a special "Hard Rock Hardcore Text-off Gauntlet Match" where people will be able to select in-ring opponents via text messaging and determine which weapons they will be using during the match.

Booker T will also debut the contents of his briefcase. SPOILER: It's a 'Legends Title' that he will defend against younger talent.
