— TNA officials are hoping that Sting’s return to TNA next week will be enough to increase curiosity & interest in the promotion. TNA doesn’t really have any other “surprises” left in the bag because Hulk Hogan is definitely not coming in and Rob Van Dam has no interest in wrestling at the moment.

— Speaking of Sting, he turned 49 years old on Thursday.

— TNA has not made a final decision on whether to use Jonny Fairplay or not. Right now, it looks like they’re leaning towards not using him.

— Joel Anderson of “Survivor” will not be debuting soon. However, there are plans in place for him to work with Team 3D when they feel he’s ready enough to go in the ring. Right now, a few people in TNA are training him to be a wrestler.

— As of this post, only upper level tickets for the TNA Lockdown pay-per-view at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA are available.
