Several sites are reporting that TNA was hoping to get Chris Jericho to make a surprise debut at the first two-hour iMPACT! show. They were in serious talks with him, but couldn’t get a deal done. Their belief is that Jericho is going to WWE.
TNA sent out an alert through their mobile service on Friday stating that they have signed female wrestler Amazing Kong to a contract. She debuts on the two hour iMPACT! this week.
Several sites are reporting that TNA newcomer Judas Mesias is currently suffering from sciatic nerve trauma and there is no time frame on when he’ll be back in TNA or in AAA where he’s their world champion. In Mexico they are saying that it will be three weeks before he can even start rehab on his ailment. Mesias’ absence is going to hurt a lot of plans in TNA because he was scheduled to do a long program with Abyss and he had just shot an angle with Sting.
Former ECW manager Shelly “Ariel” Martinez has confirmed her forthcoming TNA appearance on her MySpace page (myspace.com/officialshellymartinez). She has the TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view on Sunday, Oct. 14 scheduled on her calender. She doesn’t have any other TNA appearances scheduled at the moment.
