The TNA Talent Meeting On iMPACT!, WWE PPV Updates, & More

The TNA talent meeting, held by Dixie Carter at the start of iMPACT! was a legit talent meeting held by Carter at the tapings. The comments were not scripted, and were totally Carter's feelings. Carter was addressing changes in the company, as the recent changes have led to frustrations among the talent. Some feel that this was Carter's way of putting out fires. It was used on TV as a way to build the Hulk Hogan angle.

As noted earlier here on the website, a WWE memo sent out to various Pay-Per-View providers reveals that World Wrestling Entertainment will be eliminating one of its June PPV events in 2010, bringing the annual total down to 13. While this does seem like a step in the right direction, WWE will be making up for that lost PPV revenue by increasing the suggested retail price of its other PPV events (excluding WrestleMania), by $5.00, to $44.95. According to the memo, this will be the first price increase for non-WrestleMania events since 2006. The suggested retail price for WrestleMania will remain $54.95.
