- This past week it was announced that TNA will be airing Impact live on March 27th. The announcement was said to be delayed because they were waiting from an official word from SpikeTV and had to take into account the additional costs involved in doing a live television broadcast. As we have been reporting, this show will be a test run, and the rating will likely determine the future.
- SpikeTV Senior Vice President Brian Diamond was in attendance at the Webster Hall house show and was said to be very pleased with the action. He was said to be particularly impressed with how good the show was given the smaller ring they had to use, how good the wrestling was, and how passionate the fans were. Diamond went as far as saying that the Webster Hall show was an eye opener in regards of taking Impact on the road each week like WWE does with Raw, SmackDown, and ECW.
