More TNA News: Impact, Liger, Daniels, More
http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/39763/More-TNA-News:-Impact,-Liger,-Daniels,-More.htm

Even more TNA news!

- TNA Impact's format will be a bit different starting tomorrow night. The company plans to get rid of most of the squash-type matches they were airing on Impact in favor of higher profile matches that get more airtime as well as the development of major angles (basically more like how WWE handles RAW).

- Again, Impact tomorrow will feature a Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels X-Division Title match. The first 4 minutes of that match have been posted at TNAwrestling.com. Impact will then not show the first 4 minutes, starting the show with the match already in progress. The hope is to create a "hot" opening to keep the lead-in from "The Ultimate Fighter" tuned in.

- There are still plans for Jushin "Thunder" Liger to work with TNA in the future. Him being pulled from Lockdown was due to a communications error as he is needed for New Japan shows the weekend of the PPV.

- The new plan is for Christopher Daniels to face a mystery opponent at Lockdown.

TNA News: Monday Impact Rating, Joe vs. Daniels and SPIKE promotion
http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/39745/TNA-News:-Monday-Impact-Rating,-Joe-vs.-Daniels-and-SPIKE-promotion.htm

Lots of TNA news to kick Wednesday off!

The Monday night replay of TNA Impact scored a 0.5 rating, which is about that show's average.

SPIKE TV has been running a lot of commercials for Impact's move to Thursdays during all of its programming during the day.

SPIKE TV will be going to "live" cutaways to the TNA Impact Zone all night Thursday during Spike's programming to hype the debut of Impact on Thursdays.

TNAwrestling.com has the first 4-minutes of Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels for this Thursday up on the website to see. The plan is to join the show with the match already in progress, minus those 4-minutes to give the show a more exciting and "can't miss feel."

Well I just regained some hope in TNA. Now the showing of Joe/Daniels on TNAwreslting.com makes some sense.

Hopefully, learn how to wrestle.

More or less all good news there with a hint of "its about damn time."  Next to: TNA has come to terms with the releases of Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner.  TNA wishes Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner the best in there future endeavors.  No more (or mimimized) squashes is the best news I could hear.

Speaking of Brown...where has he been lately? I haven't seen him in weeks.

I'm not complaining, I was just curious.

Well I know he hasn't been on any shows, but I thought I heard something about him getting injured.

Either way, this is good news for TNA.  Hopefully now I'll care to watch iMPACT if I'm up late Thursday night.

I'm convinced that TNA thrives on taunting JML897. One day, I completely hate them. The next day, they look promising. No squash matches on Impact is great news.

Well TNA looks as promising as ever with this news, and has got the attention of this "on the fence" fan back.
