TNA begins its final round of TV tapings tonight in Orlando, FL before their upcoming Turning Point PPV.

Tonight’s tapings for this Thursday’s edition of Impact have ODB and Christy Hemme vs. The Beautiful People and The Motor City Machine Guns vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir and Tanahashi advertised.

There will also be another announcement from Mick Foley and Jeff Jarrett, plus Samoa Joe and AJ Styles will recruit new members for their group to take on the Main Event Mafia.

We’ll have Impact spoilers up on the site very early on Tuesday morning courtesy of Jon Jones.

TNA also tape in Orlando tomorrow night for the “go home” edition of Impact which airs next week.

I said on Friday that it wouldn’t expect me if Impact was marred by technical problems for its UK broadcast on Bravo over the weekend. As previously noted, although its impossible right now for TNA to broadcast in HD in the UK as Bravo don’t have a HD channel, the show was expected to still go out in widescreen.

The show did indeed go out in widescreen, but without being technical about it, the second hour suffered technical problems and was not shown in true widescreen. Its not the first time that Bravo have had problems when airing Impact, and as has been the case in the past, this past Saturday’s problems were caused by Bravo, not TNA.

As noted on the front page of the site earlier today, Samoa Joe will be returning to Ring of Honor on November 22 for their “Rising Above” PPV taping in Chicago Ridge, IL. We’ve got an update on the ROH situation at this link with the latest regarding former booker Gabe Sapolsky and Cary Silkin.

Devin Cutting sent word that Kevin Nash, Petey Williams, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin will be appearing at the Border City Wrestling event in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on December 13.

The Miami Herald have a decent interview online with Matt Morgan at this link in which Morgan discusses his time in both TNA and the WWE.
