- Early projections are that TNA will be "significantly profitable" in 2008. TNA has many revenue streams coming in, including rights fees for Impact, the increase in demand for their talent, the upcoming Midway Video Game, overseas TV rights sales and house shows. With these taken into consideration TNA is expected to turn the corner financially, even with their PPV buy rates being lower than they were.
- Panda Energy has not had to put any money into the promotion for over a year, which means that TNA has actually become a self-sufficient company. The feeling is that the company either broke even or made a small profit in 2007.
- Jeff Jarrett wants to take the TNA product in a more serious direction, ala the Angle vs. Joe build. Jarrett wants more in ring time and the serious edge, while Vince Russo likes doing more pre-tapes and promos, and adding cute lines to them. Dutch Mantell wants what ever Jeff Jarrett wants.
- The World X-Cup is set for May, but nothing official has been announced for a Team Mexico or Japan yet.

I'm seriously hoping that Minoru will be on Team Japan again.

Sounds like some great news. It is my dream to see TNA on their own. That video game should get them a ton of money. I hope they sign some indy talent soon.

This is great news. Maybe they can hire new announcers while there at it. Better yet, new camera men.

The World X Cup is one of the very, VERY few things TNA doesn't  up. Let's hope this is good. |

I think both Mike and Don need to go! Bring in Tony Schiavone and Mark Madden (WCW).

Quality.
Good to see that TNA is making a profit and more importantly sounds like they are planning to move backwards towards being focused opn wrestling rather than skits & entertainment

On TalkImpact.com, the words "Vince Russo" automatically get filtered with Bill Brasky.
I don't know why.
