The 1/9 Wilson, NC house show was a sellout of 1,300 fans.
The Tokyo Dome special will likely air in February.
New Japan Pro Wrestling is attempting to build up their relationship with TNA. Yujiro and Tetsuya Naito are being taught English with the idea of having them go to the United States for an extended stay.
New Japan wants Team 3D to defend their newly won IWGP titles in TNA.

Jeff Wilen of the Daytona Beach News-Journal spoke with Kevin Nash today, who is still hospitalized in Charlotte, NC. Nash says that the elbow infection he is suffering from started from a small scrape while wrestling in Japan, and not from his recent tattoo work.
Nash also explained that he was signed up with TNA for another three-years (which began in October of 2008) and that he was upset that he couldn't go on the big European tour.

I can't see Nash competing in 2011. Guess he'll be a manager or something.

Well, that's good that they continue to build a relationship with NJPW. They've got some incredible performers. I'd like to see more of them on TNA tv. I don't know about Team 3D defending their belts on TNA tv though...seems like that would downplay their own titles. |

Economy is tough it's no wonder they had to paper it really I won't rag on them for that.

Yujiro and Tetsuya Naito are being taught English with the idea of having them go to the United States for an extended stay. New Japan wants Team 3D to defend their newly won IWGP titles in TNA. This is all GREAT news. I really like the partnership with Japan (reminds me of the good ol' WCW) ;D Nash also explained that he was signed up with TNA for another three-years (which began in October of 2008) and that he was upset that he couldn't go on the big European tour. Hope he gets better soon, glad to hear he's on for 3 more years. |

IF NJPW really wants to build up the relationship, they should give them the full show and show it, instead of just the TNA matches.

The common TNA fan has no idea who the NJPW or NOAH wrestlers are. If you put the TNA matches on it aswell - it would they could make it a "BONUS DISC" that way TNA fans would be buying it for the TNA matches and would get the others.  |
