Y2J: 'I Didn't Have A Choice On NXT', IMPACT! Timeslot Update

– As noted last night here on the website, SpikeTV's website is currently listing TNA iMPACT! in the 8-10PM timeslot from April 5th, which is also the next live broadcast. In an update on the situation, a source at SpikeTV says the April 5th show is the only one scheduled for the 8PM start as of now. The feeling is that starting an hour before RAW can only help the ratings. We'll see if it stays that way but I've said all along that they need to go from 8-10EST to get that one-hour jump on RAW. Then at 9EST when RAW goes live they would obviously do a 'hot' segment to keep fans tuned in.

– ESPN.com is featuring an interview with current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho where he talks about WWE's NXT show and how he wasn't really given a choice on being part of it. "I wasn't really given a choice in performing. I was basically just told I was going to be on the show and that was it. But I think it's a good concept. There are still some bugs that need to be worked out in the system, but I like my prot?g?, Wade Barrett. I think he's got great presence and a great character. I also think Daniel Bryan, obviously, is an extraordinary performer as well. Those two guys stand out to me right off the bat."
