Originally Posted by Observer Vince decided fairly recently that he does want hot Indies on the WWE Network. For a while there, they obviously didn't want that and, obviously, there's a lot of - it's interesting because a lot of Indies are doing their own stuff, obviously PROGRESS and Revolution Pro have their own streaming services.

Originally Posted by Observer The situation between Kidd, Natalya, and WWE is (as Kidd's tweets implied) difficult. A lot of issues regarding the company's handling of both the match with Joe and the aftermath, Kidd's lucky to be alive and not in a wheelchair, and the feeling is the only reason he hasn't sued their asses yet is the fear of how they'd treat Natalya

Originally Posted by PWI TNA informed talents this week that they will indeed be taping at Universal Studios the week of 1/4-1/10 in Orlando, Florida. Based on the plan that was laid out to talents, it's going to be a pretty rough week that includes two days that will see the company do double tapings, which will bring them up to enough Impact Wrestling episodes through the end of March. Not even including Xplosion and 1-2 One Night Only PPV tapings, that's likely the most material any wrestling company would have filmed over the course of one set of TV tapings ever. That is going to be one tired roster at the end of that run.

Originally Posted by PWI In a matter of full disclosure, no one from TNA management, thus far, has wanted to respond to Billy Corgan's interview with PWInsider.com on record. There may be good reason for that. On 11/29, Corgan's attorneys filed a notice in the Nashville Chancery Court that they were voluntarily dismissing his lawsuit against the company without prejudice, meaning that the lawsuit could always be re-filed down the line. In his interview with PWInsider.com yesterday, Corgan said that he has released all claims against TNA Impact Wrestling, Impact Ventures and Anthem Sports & Entertainment. So, that would mean he is still considering pursuing Dixie Carter and others legally. The lawsuit has yet to be officially dismissed by the presiding Judge.

Originally Posted by Observer Matt Sydal (Matt Korklan) is expected to be released from Japanese prison on 12/6 and to be able to return to the U.S. and resume his career at that point. Sydal was arrested in late September for possession of liquid cannabis in a hidden pipe. He was convicted of charges in mid-October and sentenced to prison.

Originally Posted by Observer Pro Wrestling Sheet reported that TNA is looking at signing The Young Bucks to a multi-year deal. What hasn’t been reported is that ROH is looking at aggressively trying to keep the key talent at the end of ths year with the philosophy of trying to make ROH a destination for talent as opposed to a stepping stone to go to WWE. The belief is the top talent will be offered good increases, and the Bucks offer, which is a two-year- offer for both TNA and New Japan offer with a significant increase over the current deal, is the big one out there. The big question mark is Adam Cole, because WWE has wanted him for years, but his deal isn’t due until April.

Originally Posted by Observer New signings have included Ariya Daivari and Mustafa Ali for the cruiserweight division. Also agreeing to terms is U.K. woman wrestler Nixon Newell, who still has to go through all the regular procedures and if all goes well, would be reporting to Orlando around April.
