Frank Trigg will most likely be wrestling on a PPV before 2008 is over. No more information beyond that at the moment.
The injury suffered by Scott Steiner at Sacrifice was a bruised knee cap and twisted ankle. It occurred when he countered the Flux Capacitor from Kaz and gave him a Spine buster of sorts from the top rope. Steiner was actually supposed to take the Flux but once he got up there he changed his mind and they had to do things on the fly.
TNA has major interest in possibly bringing in Orlando Jordan as they feel they need someone to help with the African American demo which is one of their lowest.
Ontario indy wrestler Cody Deaner has signed with TNA and is expected to start in a few weeks when his immigration papers get worked out. Deaner does a comedy gimmick that is semi homosexual. He wears very short daisy dukes to the ring and has a handlebar mustache. No word yet if he will be doing this in TNA or not but this is what he does on the Canada indy scene.
TNA is looking to sign more indy / unkown talents in the next few months in hopes of building their own stars as opposed to signing ex WWE stars.
They are also intrested in several others indy names that most people have never heard of such as Shatter, Mikal Judas and Truitt Fields. All three wrestle mostly in the Georgia / Alabama area. Judas had a tryout a while back and was said to have impressed several members of management.
As reported by Jason Powell on ProWrestling.NET, TNA has had intrest in Swinger and Joey Matthews but they are reluctant to sign them due to a number of reasons. TNA thought Basham and Damajah would be a huge hit but that didn't work out at all so they are being cautious when it comes to signing former lower card WWE talents.
As Dave Meltzer reported Japanese Star Akira Raijin did have a recent tryout before and iMPACT! but TNA was not all that excited by what they saw. Raijin has been trying to get bookings in the US for a while now but has not had any luck. He had a WWE tryout last year as well but they weren't intrested after what they saw. He is said to work a style that is a cross between Chris Benoit and Keiji Muto but it is belived that he really has no charisma at all.
