Original 'The Band' Plans, JR To TNA?, Flair's TNA Contract

? As seen, Eric Young became the new member of The Band recently. Believe it or not, Samoa Joe was also considered for the role before they decided on Young.

? One of the people in TNA pushing the hardest for Jim Ross to come in is Vince Russo. Russo, who is moving to Nashville, continues to talk about getting off of the creative team and work in other areas with the company.

? Ric Flair's contract is similar to Foley's and he is already way above the pace expected as TNA has been using him at every TV and pay-per-view. TNA will be out of dates to use Flair before the end of this year unless they do a similar angle with him.
