TNA News: Matt Morgan, World X-Cup, Jarrett’s Possible Return and More

– The deal struck between TNA and NBC is one that allows TNA and American Gladiators to “share” Matt Morgan. Morgan will have to miss some NBC dates for Gladiators, as well as some TNA dates, but both sides will be able to choose their important dates, the agreement is done and everyone seems happy. Morgan’s gimmick will be “The Beast,” and he will come down from the ceiling in a cage, then being released. It is also designed for him to play a heel role on the show.

– Hector Guerrero went to CMLL and inquired about using Mistico for the World X-Cup, but he is booked through August and won’t be able to be a part of the July event. CMLL also doesn’t want to send Perro Aguayo Jr to be used, but are open to anyone else it seems. TNA would love to bring back hector Garza for this, but with his steroid bust a few years back, he cannot travel into the US for 7-8 more years.

– TNA will not be working with AAA, due to Konnan being heavily involved there and the fact that Konnan has a lawsuit filed against the company.

– The plans are for a Team USA, Team Japan and a Team “International” for the tournament.

– Jeff Jarrett has not retired, but recently tuned 41. Jarrett is not opposed to a return, but is waiting for the right time to do so, so that he can make a major impact.

– There was talk of bringing in Tammy Synch into the company in a major role. Some TNA talent recently worked a convention with her and came back with negative reports, so she is not under consideration any longer.

– Dark Angel Sara Stock should be getting a look from the company soon.
