– Sting’s promo on Impact last week was actually originally slated to be a heel promo. However, Sting nixed practically everything scripted that would make him come across as a heel. His reasoning is that he wasn’t feeling some of the lines he was supposed to say. The end result was Sting cutting one of the best babyface promos of his career. The crowd’s reaction to Sting was completely different from what TNA wanted as they cheered his every word instead of booing him. Nonetheless, TNA officials were said to be happy with his promo because he did such a good job, even if it did take original storyline plans off course.

– Hector “Moody” Melendez has gotten offers from TNA to return to the company. He did Spanish announcing and production work during his time with the company. Melendez is currently the booker and producer for the AAA promotion out of Mexico.

– Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe were in New York City this week to promote TNA’s tour of “The Big Apple.” The two TNA stars stopped by the Sirius XM Hip Hop Nation studios for a revealing interview with host Orlando Quinones. In this candid interview, they discussed Obama vs. McCain, Hulk Hogan’s, marital issues, Konnan’s lawsuit against TNA, racism in professional wrestling, Michael Hayes, and more. On who they’re voting for, they both said Obama. Regarding Hayes, Nash doesn’t believe he is a racist. The two didn’t rip Konnan, although Nash said Konnan has had heat with him for quite some time. Nash talked about how silly it is to not have insurance because you could be hit by a speeding car.
