- According to a report from PWInsider, TNA and Destination America are planning on running a live edition of TNA Impact in June. The show on May 8 will also be live.
TNA has yet to run any live episodes on Destination America since making the move. Last week, Destination America credited TNA Wrestling with helping them to their most successful quarter to date.
- Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan was in Nashville last week at TNA offices. Corgan formerly was head of creative for Resistance Pro Wrestling, a company in which he founded. He left the company last November.
Corgan contributed songs for use during TNA broadcasts during the 00's, and was briefly in discussions to purchase a portion of ECW from Paul Heyman. Negotiations never got serious, according to Corgan.
- It appears that this June's Slammiversary event will be at Universal Studios in Orlando. This would be the first Slammiversary event in Orlando since 2011. The company has taken the show to Arlington, Texas twice, and Boston once.
