According to sources, the word making the rounds backstage regarding Scott Hall no-showing the Turning Point PPV last night was that he had "food poisoning" and couldn't make the show.
Considering the circumstances involved, there was some strong negative feelings towards him backstage within TNA for not at least attempting to show up when the company invested time building up the Six Man main event.
Samoa Joe was said to be furious about the entire deal.

It is being reported by The Pro Wrestling Torch that Kaz cracked his skull in his tag match at Turning Point.
Abyss also required stitches after the 10,000 Tack match, but there were no other notable injuries.

The section for the upcoming Final Resolution PPV on January 6 is up at TNAWrestling.com.
Rhino suffered a legit neck injury in his last TNA match and is getting it checked out. This is why he was pulled from the 10,000 Tack match at Turning Point last night.

It is unknown if Kevin Nash was really upset following Samoa Joe’s promo where he was grouped with Scott Hall.
Nash was said to be in a pretty good mood leading into the pay-per-view.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of the weekend, there was no Sting update.
Apparently he was telling people a few months ago that he wouldn't resign with TNA, but TNA still feels they can keep him in the fold.

During a backstage segment on last night’s Turning Point pay-per-view Karen Angle accidentally said that she saw Samoa Joe talking with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash earlier in the night. Karen was referring to an earlier backstage segment between Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe where they were arguing about the whereabouts of Hall.
Given that Scott Hall was not at last night’s PPV, this was obviously something that TNA management was not happy about.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The big story coming out of last night's TNA Turning Point Pay-Per-View is that Scott Hall was a no-show. Hall was advertised to compete in the main event along with Kevin Nash and Samoa Joe against Kurt Angle, AJ Styles and Tomko.
Samoa Joe selected Eric Young as their team's replacement for Scott Hall. Eric Young was picked because he is a personal favorite and close friend of TNA booker Dutch Mantel. Many felt that there were better options than Young, a perennial mid-card comedy act who would not benefit from the "rub" of a main event spot.
Kevin Nash was visibly upset during Samoa Joe's scathing promo before the main event. He did not celebrate with Joe and Young after their win and left the arena almost immediately. Nash made it known during the day that Hall is his friend but it is not fair to judge him for Scott's mistakes. This situation is very similar to Matt and Jeff Hardy several years ago when Jeff was struggling with his "issues". Matt Hardy was always there for his brother, but made it clear that Jeff made his own decisions and to view them as individuals. It is unknown at this point to what degree Nash assured TNA that Hall could be counted on.
TNA management was understandably upset with the whole situation. They took a risk by promoting a star with a long history of being unreliable. The general feeling is that Scott Hall has burned his last bridge. TNA management will never rely on Hall or advertise him in a main event role.

Howard Stern announced on his show today that former TNA interviewer Leticia Cline who was on the show last week getting naked, talking dirty and riding the Sybian was fired from the GNCC motocross racing job. They fired her because she rode the Sybian and they thought that it was something that penetrated her.
Apparently she wrote to them and said that racing was her life and her family got mad at her for revealing some things. Howard said they would try to have her back in to talk about that.
