More news on new TNA tv deal
It was reported earlier that TNA executive Vice President John Gaburick was in New York finalizing a TV deal for TNA. However now TNA executive Bob Ryder is dismissing that entire claim.
According to Ryder Ganurick is actually currently in Nashville TN but he was indeed in NY this past weekend. It is also stated that on Monday they look to start some new tapings in NY. Also according to an article on wrestling inc (http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2014/1029/584444/more-on-new-tna-tv-deal/) Dixie Carter is said to make some type of announcement Friday.
We will keep reporting on this story as more information becomes available.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio last week that TNA has enough footage from the last set of television tapings to last through the November 19th episode of Impact. For the last 6 shows of the year on Spike TV the episodes will be recap shows with old footage.

The element of surprise follow up
Last week, I wrote am article discussing the element of surprise when it comes to the world of sports entertainment. While spoilers can be seen as “fun” and wonderful thirst quenchers for when you “just want to know a little bit of a sneak peek”, they can also take away the surprise of what’s to come. One of the biggest surprises came last week when The Rock returned to a booming crowd. No one saw it coming and it drew a stronger bang than if people knew ahead of time. You’ll get a response sounding more like, “That was awesome!! I never imagined he’d show up!” rather than “What’s the big deal, I knew he was coming.”
Then there’s TNA, who filmed episodes weeks in advance and there’s spoilers floating around on the Internet. How did they manage to put on a current, live PPV storyline-wise with Bound for Glory in Japan? Simple. Place emphasis on matches being wrestling based showcasing skills as opposed to storyline driven. It was an excellent way on TNA’s part for dealing with a spoiler driven situation in as positive of a way as possible.
Supporting my previous argument, a world with spoilers can be fine in some elements, but it is best to leave the surprises alone and let them unravel as they may. The Rock’s return alone perfectly exemplifies this point

Major TNA Signings coming soon?
Dixie Carter told some people recently to expect a major announcement soon. Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that it was believed to be a new TV deal but that may not be the case. Wrestling observer reports that there are claims that TNA is negotiating with a talent who would shock people & a new signing that would help bring buzz to TNA, but nobody knows who those talents maybe. We know it’s not CM Punk & Mick foley.
Some TNA talents who have expired contracts or have contracts expiring soon say no officials are getting back to them soon. It has been noted that TNA is not doing any serious contract negotiating until a new TV deal is done.
