The following is from TNAwrestling.com: TNA has announced that they will be taping at the January 4th New Japan Pro Wrestling Tokyo Dome show for Global Impact II. TNA's TV production team will document the journey every step of the way, from the trip over, the Japanese culture, and all the action from the matches. The event will then air on SpikeTV at a later date, to be determined. The following matches with TNA talent have been announced: * Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Riki Choshu and Masahiro Chono vs. Takashi Iizuka, Giant Bernard, Karl Anderson and Tomohiro Ishii * Team 3D vs. IWGP Tag Team Champions Togi Makabe and Toru Yano vs. Tenzan and Kojima * The Motor City Machine Guns vs. IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions "No Limit" (Naito and Yujiro)

During last Friday's SmackDown, a local commercial aired promoting the Sunday, January 31, 2009 Raw/ECW house show event in Hammond, Indiana. They advertised John Cena defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Chris Jericho. Other wrestlers scheduled to appear at the house show include Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton. It's interesting to note that the house show will be running head to head with the next Ring of Honor pay-per-view taping as the two buildings are about 30 minutes apart.
