More TNA News: Raven, Barbed Wire Massacre, Global Impact and More

– Raven is finished with TNA. His contract expired and the company didn’t offer him a new one.

– The plan for the Barbed Wire Massacre match is to portray the match as if it is live in Orlando, due to the athletic commission’s ruling. There is internal concern as to how the Greenville crowd will respond to the match.

– There is the possibility of a “Global Impact” special coming from the UK shows planned for the summer.

– Internally TNA was pleased with the performances of Tiger Mask on the last Impact tapings, but the same wasn’t said for IWGP Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. Apparently nobody could understand why he was being pushed as IWGP champion over Hiroshi Tanahashi.

– The January 25th house show in Troy, Ohio drew over 1,500 paid. The January 26th house show in Niles, Ohio drew a sell out of 1,000 fans in a 600-seat venue, with the other 400 being standing room only.
