– As reported earlier, next week's episode of TNA iMPACT! will feature match-ups initially pegged for Sunday's pay-per-view event. One of the matches advertised for iMPACT! is Jeff Hardy's "Open Challenge." The open challenge is expected to be met by a wrestler let go by World Wrestling Entertainment earlier this year. That person has asked that we keep his name a secret for now.

– TNA Wrestling's weekend house show run had last Friday in Winston-Salem, NC drawing 1,700; Friday in Fayetteville, NC drawing 1,600; and Saturday in Concord, NC doing 1,100. Those are very good numbers for TNA live events.
