- TNA should be announcing the location of their April PPV "Lockdown" very soon. The front-runner is said to be Chicago at this point.
- TNA's May PPV Sacrifice is likely to be held in Orlando, FL but those plans could change.
- TNA is lookng into holding a PPV in the South West Ohio area later this year.
- As previously mentioned Vince Russo has been booking most of what is seen on iMPACT!. According to numerous sources Jeff Jarrett comes up with the feuds and matches he wants and then gives Vince the task of setting up the angles and storylines around them. Dutch Mantell books alot of the comedy skits as well as most of the womens division. The X Division is currently being booked by numerous people including Scott D'amore and Jeff Jarrett. Most of the Abyss/Mitchell/Mesias storyline was booked by Mantell with ideas from Abyss. Also Brother Ray booked alot of Team 3D and Devine's feud with Machismo and The Guns. Kurt and Karen Angle have alot of booking freedom over their own segments and angles. If they have and idea 9 times out of 10 it happpens even if it is thought to be a bad idea. Match agents currently include Glen Gilberti (Disco Inferno), Scott D'amore, D'Lo Brown and Pat Kenney (Simon Diamond) while one of the members of Phi Delta Slam is currently working the gorilla position.
- TNA's new slogan "Cross the Line" refers to the fact that TNA doesn't feature clear cut faces and heels. This has always been a mainstay of Vince Russo booking as he feels there are no true good and evil people in this world.
- TNA is looking to use talents from New Japan, AAA, the US and Canada indys and the UK for the upcoming World X Cup. Team UK was scheduled to be included in the 2006 cup but due to a conflict in scheduling they didn't make it. They are scheduled to be included in this year's edition with Doug Williams most likely for the teams captain. Expect to see Tiger Mask and Curry Man as part of Team Japan.

I never liked that about Russo, you could never really tell who is face/heel. I remember the whole Joe/Angle feud, one week it seemed Joe was heel, the next week Angle was heel.
