In regards to the hours, 8pm was the 2nd highest since NFL started while the 9pm and 10pm drops were both 4th biggest in RAW history (9pm) and 3rd biggest in the 3 Hour Era (10pm).

Originally Posted by PWI TNA held a conference call this afternoon with the TNA roster. We are told by sources that during the call, Carter officially introduced Anthem's Eric Nordholm as a member of the Board of Managers for the company, stating that the Board will be guiding the company going forward. Carter praised the new relationship with Anthem Media, stating they have injected capital and resources into the company and will bring it to the next level. Nordholm addressed the roster and praised them for their hard work and said that the new agreement will be a great opportunity for both TNA and The Fight Network. The idea of an over the top network utilizing TNA content was brought up. It was also noted that the company is looking towards getting back on a touring schedule (I would assume this means for live events) as well as strengthening it's relationship with their India TV partner, Sony Six. When asked about creative changes, Dixie Carter noted that Dave Lagana tendered his resignation last week and that Billy Corgan was no longer with the company. She said that going forward, they would be going back towards a collaborative effort. It was noted that the creative department current consists of John "Big" Gaburick. Matt Conway and Madison Rayne and they are looking to hire more people to add to that end of the company.

Originally Posted by PWI WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross (who is bringing his one man show to Nashville, TN tomorrow) wrote in his latest blog that he spoke with Chris Jericho about the incident with Sin Cara Sunday evening on the Euroean tour. Ross wrote, "Caught up with Chris Jericho Monday morning to check in regarding the reports of a ‘fight’ that Y2J had at a WWE event in the U.K. with Sin Cara. Chris said it was largely about nothing and that it resembled more of a scuffle than a full fledged fight. Sin Cara threw one punch and then the minor melee was broken up. Tensions often times rise on these extended, international tours which can bring out the worst in people. This scrap apparently occurred on the bus in route to Glasgow. At the end of the day, it was seemingly much to do about not that much on a slow news day online. (Bill Watts would have made the two fight to get the angst out of their systems. Cowboy did just that with Butch Reed and John Nord.) " Ross also teased that there is a big announcement coming next month from AXS TV in regard to their relationship with New Japan and coverage on AXS TV. Man, could you imagine if they started broadcasting NJPW events live?

Originally Posted by PWI As of this morning, Billy Corgan had not filed any new legal paperwork with the Chancery Court in Nashville. His lawsuit is still active, so it would appear that he and TNA are negotiating a settlement. We are told by sources in Nashville that Anthem Media is taking a deep look at every aspect of TNA's business right now. Anthem is expected to become the majority shareholder in the company, but have not yet. It would appear they are waiting for the Corgan situation to be settled and for him to be out of the picture before any official sale is made.
