--Savio Vega, Shane and Rey Gonzalez from Puerto Rico's IWA promotion were backstage at Tuesday's Impact taping in Orlando to meet with TNA management.

 

TNA offices expect to take stock this week of December's Turning Point DVD, available soon in the ShopTNA.com merchandise area. The DVD will include exclusive backstage shot footage during the show, including AMW and Triple X receiving medical attention following their bloody brawl inside the Six Sides of Steel.

 

TNA's May Pay-Per-View is title "Hard Justice", set for May 15. Expect a press release on the event to follow, as well as some big news and plans for TNA's June three-year anniversary Pay-Per-View event.

 

Raven and Terry Taylor recorded special bonus commentary on Tuesday afternoon for the upcoming "Nevermore: Best of Raven" DVD. The bouts including special commentary are Raven vs. Wildcat Chris Harris from May 2004 and Raven vs. AJ Styles for the NWA World Heavyweight Title a month later. For their first time calling a match together, Raven and Taylor did a great job - including a bit of humor (albeit twisted) from both.

 

Tiny The Timekeeper, who manned the bell for all of TNA's Wednesday night Pay-Per-Views in Nashville, visited Universal for the Pay-Per-View on Sunday. Everyone in TNA was happy to see Tiny again, and Jeff Jarrett personally asked him to return to the bell that night for the broadcast. Like clockwork, Tiny didn't miss a beat (or ring) during the Pay-Per-View!

 

Jeff Jarrett and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper are scheduled for tonight's Best Dam Sports Show Period on Fox Sports net.

 

-- According to a recent article in the Clanton Advertiser newspaper out of Clanton, Alabama, Randy Orton will in fact be moved to SmackDown permanently. The reason behind the move is apparently to help improve the ratings on Smackdown, and to get Orton away from the RAW Divas.

 

-- 1Wrestling is reporting that despite several major TV networks not wanting to deal with Vince McMahon and WWE, pro wrestling is not completely out of the question for them. Apparently some of the networks simply do not like WWE and Vince, but may be open to working with an alternative wrestling company, such as TNA.
