Bobby Lashley isn't with strikeforce anymore. Sting isn't in WWE Nash isn't really being used by WWE it looks like.
Has to be one of those three.... I'm thinking?

Honestly, the only thing shocking that I think TNA could pull off at this point, would be to put on a completely solid show from top to bottom.

I'm guessing they manage to cram all this into the 5 minute over-run on Impact. Dixie is found to have slept with Hogan to regain control of TNA. Fortune turns heel. Immortal turns face. Matt Hardy stands in the background eating grapes. Matt Morgan turns heel. Hernandez (with a returning Homicide) turns face and reforms LAX. Jeff Jarrett is found to have actually fathered Kurt Angle's children, having had an affair with Karen dating back to Angle's days in Memphis in WWE Developmental. Eric Bischoff dyes his hair black. Samoa Joe re-debuts with even more makeup on his face. Ken Anderson turns on RVD backstage as all this is revealed, and the closing seconds of the broadcast is Abyss lying semi-conscious in a boiler room area of the Impact Zone mumbling "They're coming..." this made me laugh so hard. im still laughing as i write this. the best part is the end with abyss.

Lord. How many times is TNA going to, 'change things forever' before they figure out that the storyline follow-ups are every bit as important as the, 'major announcements' themselves?
I enjoy Impact alot more than Raw and Smackdown, especially as of late, but good god, man...this crap where faces become heels and heels become faces on account of ratings going down a point in the 3rd segment w/ males in the 18-34 demo has got to stop.
Instead of changing the face of TNA every couple weeks, why not concentrate on believable, reality based, storylines centered around talent that WANTS to work every date you'll let them? No more hot shot booking for a quick ratings jump, no more signing or re-signing veteran stars that haven't added to their fanbase in ten years AND no more events that'll, 'shock the wrestling world to it's core.'
Simple storylines. Simple fueds. Simple build-ups. Simple marketing.
You build an audience when your product's stable and consistent from week to week. We drink Pepsi because it tastes like pepsi. it doesn't taste like coke. When we buy a can pepsi, we're never SHOCKED or pleasantly surprised when it turns out to be Mountain dew. Moreover we know we wanted pepsi and don't need some schmuck telling us why we should be glad we got mountain dew for free.
TNA's biggest problem is that it doesn't have an identity through a main event wrestler that's regularly featured. WWE had Andre. Then, Hogan. Michaels. Austin. Rock. Triple H and on down (way, way down) to Cena. WCW had Flair, Hogan then Goldberg. ECW had Raven, Then Taz. Each of these people represented an era. In their era's, they were the focus point. they were the star of the show. Everything that happened, happened through, to, or because of them. Rock mentioned a couple people, but he CALLED out Cena, for example.
Who's era is it in TNA? Who's the star of impact? Who would The Rock call out if he showed up?
Angle? Hardy? Styles? RVD? Anderson? Pope? Jarret? Hogan? Flair? Joe? ...Bischoff? When TNA fixes that, or understands why they might have to hurt some sensitive feelings, they'll be on the right track.
I'm like an hour away from orlando and want so desperately for TNA to succeed on a national level. Wrestling really needs them to start doing things the old fashioned way that worked.

Just hoping it is they will be live every week or at least taping out of the studio in front of WRESTLING fans. Hogan is out? Outback Jack?

We've had Rock, Diesel, Booker, Trish, HHH, Christian and Undertaker return since the start of the year to the WWE and THIS will be the most shocking surprise in wrestling? LMAO! Exactly what I was thinking. In all seriousness though, it will probably be something stupid.

The only thing I can think of that would live up to the hype of "shocking surprise of the year" would be Paul Heyman. I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed.

Where was this even advertised, was this on TNA's facebook?
I only ask, because this seems to have happened not very long ago.

My hope is either Live iMPACT, or a HUGE DEBUT.......Jericho would be cool, seeing himself and AJ feuding. ay? But in all reality, I see Dixie getting an early word that she gets TNA back from Hogan, and that the march 3rd edition will be the breaking news to Hogan in the IMPACT Zone....
Maybe Taz is stepping back into the ring against Bully Ray?

Just read what this potentially is in the Spoiler Board. Far from being the biggest shock of the year.

Moving back to Monday Nights. Well it is Wrestlemania season so it sounds like a typical TNA strategy.

Chris Jericho's announcement is also scheduled for today.
Coincidence? I think so.
