TNA's roster looks like it may be in for some shaking up in the coming months....

Biggest news....
This fall's Bound for Glory may mark the end of Sting's wrestling career.
Rumor has it that The Icon may be done after that PPV.
He originally planned to leave last year, but TNA officials talked him into giving one more year.
You gotta admit, the thirteen-time world champion, (two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, two-time WCW International World Heavyweight Champion, two-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion and former WWA World Heavyweight Champion) has put in a long and colorful career since his debut in 1985.
And he has maintained his integrity over those 24 years, never working for the WWE.

The WWE has released Umaga.
Do I even need to say "I wonder if he'll show up on TNA in 90 days?"
I think Umaga would be a nice fit in TNA.

So far Raven and Shane Douglas have not signed long term contracts with TNA.
They are only in for Impact tapings and the Slammiversary PPV.
They might go forward from there, but it's not a lock.

Canadian Luchadora Sarah Stock (Dark Angel) has had her official TNA wrestling debut bumped back a bit because of Former WWE Diva Victoria (Tara) showing up.
Sarah was originally slated to fill the top TNA Knockout babyface position left open by Gail Kim, but with Tara showing up, that's been pulled for the moment.
Did TNA not know Victoria was signing?

TNA News, Samoa Joe, TNAtion, UK Tour and More

Not only does Samoa Joe have broken fingers, now it appears he also has a torn tricep.

TNA has renamed their "TNA University" program to "TNAtion".
The new slogan is "Why get lost in a Universe...when you can join a Nation."
Lost in a Universe?
Yes, thats a shot at the "WWE Universe".
Of course WWE will probably respond with "The Universe is bigger than a Nation".

And of course the rumors are floating around that Mr.Kennedy will hit TNA as soon as his 90 day no compete clause is over.
I wonder if WWE has "Mr.Kennedy" trademarked?
I hope not, because I really mark out for " MR. KENNNNNEDY!" or even the "KENNEDY!" shouts.

TNA will be in the UK for their 2010 Maximum iMPACT! Tour, starting in January 2010.
Here's the promo video package:



Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling has launched TNAsearch.com, a fan-oriented search engine which rewards users with official TNA Wrestling merchandise and memorabilia.

TNA News: Victoria, Raven, Kurt Angle and More

Shane Douglas and Raven are both scheduled to be on this Thursday's TNA Impact.
Former WWE Diva Victoria is also scheduled to appear.
Look for Victoria to be a face. And I think she will be using her real name, Lisa Marie Varon.

UPDATE: Tara?
They're calling her Tara?

The show will also feature Dr. Stevie Richards, AJ Styles, Amazing Red, Eric Young, Beer Money, Chris Sabin, Consequences Creed, Angelina Love, Sojourner Bolt and Mick Foley.

TNA.com has a page of special appearances by their stars here:
http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/981/84/
See where “The Icon” Sting, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Angelina Love & Velvet Sky and Traci Brooks will be showing up in the coming months.

There is also a link on their homepage leading to the TNA YouTube videos.

AND there is also a countdown clock about mid screen that says " TNA Wrestling Delivers A Powerful Shot In:...."

TNA News: Kurt Angle, Bobbly Lashley and Velvet Skye

Will Kurt Angle show up on next seasons ABC show "Dancing with the Stars?
According to Jeremy Borash's Twitter account, he just might.
Surreal.

TNA has signed a new deal with James Storm, and they are still working on signing Amazing Red.

And speaking of signing contracts, Bobbly Lashley still hasn't officially signed with TNA yet.
The wrestler/mma fighter won't be used on TV until he does so.
I can understand Lashley's reluctance.
He wouldn't want to get hurt in a TNA match a few days before fighting in MMA.

Velvet Skye is auctioning off her very first pair of wrestling boots on bBay.
She says quote....
"These babies have been with me from day one, since I got my start in wrestling back in 2001! I trained in them, wrestled in them in both the indies, WWE and most importantly, TNA," Sky wrote. "I'm selling them because honestly, they've seen their day in the ring! I definitely got good usage out of them."
So Velvet Sky fans can go here to view the auction.

TNA was in my homestate of NC this weekend at Fort Bragg.
You can see the Fayetteville Observers article about it here (with pictures)
And you can read the Fort Bragg life article here (with a video).
