Wrestling Lockup with Brandon is here with your TNA news and Impact recap. As always this is brought to you by Triple Threat Podcast.
TNA might have found themselves a new tv deal in the works. Discovery's Velocity Network have shown interest with running TNA on their channel. The bad news, however, is Velocity is only available in HD and available in less than 50 million homes. TNA would have to make some major production and talent cuts and that could turn out to be the final nail in TNA's coffin.
- Sources have stated this past week that Bully Ray has wrestled his last match with TNA. Bully Ray's contract has expired and he has shown no interest in resigning.
- Rumors circulated this past week, stating that TNA's Kurt Angle had been trying to get a deal with WWE. WWE COO, Triple H, has shown no interest in resigning Angle due to his constant injury status. Angle then went over Triple H's head and asked the man himself, Vince McMahon, for a new deal. Vince stated that Triple H deals with the talent now. This angered Triple H and may have ruined Angle's chances for getting back in the WWE for trying to go over his head and asking Vince.
Alright let's get to this week's TNA Impact recap for the week.
- TNA Impact kicked off from New York City with Kurt Angle in the ring cutting a promo. Angle talks about tonight's show when out comes MVP, Bobby Lashley and Kenny King.
