    Also could be something like season 2 of British Boot Camp.

    Maybe British and Irish Boot Camp?

    I'll miss Petey.

    Looks like Sanada will be sticking around:
    Wrestle-1 in Japan announced today that Seiya Sanada has signed a contract with TNA, but will still make appearances in Japan as well. Sanada has already won the X-Division championship since debuting in TNA.

    TNA World Champion Lashley Signs With Bellator; Set to Fight on September 5th at Bellator 123

    We are excited to announce that TNA World Heavyweight Champion LASHLEY has signed a deal with Bellator MMA and is set to make his debut on September 5th at Bellator 123. Lashley (10-2) will face Josh Burns (8-7) in a heavyweight clash.

    The Bellator 123 card will be headlined by a Featherweight Title fight between Pat Curran and Patricio Pitbull. TNA and Bellator superstar King Mo will also compete on the card, making this a can’t miss event for any TNA or MMA fan!

    Bellator 123 takes place at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on September 5th and will be broadcast LIVE and FREE on Spike TV!

    Don't get this at all. Not like he is that skilled/interesting as a fighter or has the type of compelling personality that could draw MMA fans to watch Wrestling.

    I wouldn't be too pleased if I were TNA either considering how they're building him as this unbeatable monster (though I suppose it's only an issue if he loses), anything to please Spike at the moment though.

    Didn't realise Lashley had such a good record. Assumed it must have been bad when he came back to wrestling.

    And may likely be held in the parking lot of a fairground, filmed on Mini DV for YouTube. There's even a slight possibility the Dudley's wont show up, and instead opt to Skype in their speech, Internet connection pending.

    I didn't think they would go in this year, Ray impressed me more individually in TNA, thought it might be Styles, Samoa Joe or Abyss

    I think they are going for the names that WWE want in theirs first. Assuming they are still around, I reckon Christian will be next.

    If they were going on merit, Jeff Jarrett and AJ Styles should have been one and two. But neither of those will be getting inducted into the WWE hall of fame.

    Talking about WWE's HOF selection process is tedious. The prospect of such talk starting for a TNA HOF is scary.

    Doing those WWE don't have seems to be the only trend for selections thus far.

    Good luck finding someone who things the first inductee shouldn't have been either Jarrett or Styles.

    The current state of play to recap:
     
    While TNA is getting a new day this week, the show has not yet been renewed by Spike TV and talks are ongoing. The move was made, as previously reported, in order to avoid competition from the NFL as well as potentially Smackdown if SyFy moves it. The NFL Thursday games on CBS start on September 11th, which means that is three episodes of Impact that would have potentially been affected by the competition.

    It has been noted that there is a distinct lack of hype for October 12ths Bound for Glory, with no mention of the event on TV lately (including little to no attention during the New York City tapings). Many employees have no idea of the plans or details for BFG. Of course, there are tapings set for Impact that would take them past the current contract, so that is seen as a good sign.


    The very latest from PWInsider: 
    We've heard from multiple TNA talents that Bully Ray held a meeting with the roster working tonight's live event in Hagerstown, MD and informed them he wanted to personally tell them goodbye as he didn't expect to be back for the company.

    Bully is/was due to be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. Was a road agent/booker/office personnel guy at TNA too. Top babyface on the TNA TV too with weeks and weeks of shows in the can.

    When you think it can't get worse it does.

    It's TNA's fault for booking him so prominently but it would be pretty poor form to not at least work through October to do the HOF and blow off the three way tag feud.

    With the amount of times Devon has left and come back recently, I'd expect Bully to do the same. If they can afford him, he'll be there. With Angle all but confirmed as out the door when his contract expires, Bully has to be one of the highest earners left. Probably only Jeff would be paid more at this stage and his merchandise sales are likely making him worth the extra money.

    Noticed the lack of BFG talk myself, but then again they only remembered Hardcore Justice the week before it airs. If their is still no mention of it this time next month I'd be worried.

    He says here:
    Mike Chiari: TNA has obviously done a good job of locking up a lot of its talent to long-term contracts in recent months. Have you given any thought to your contract situation? Would you be interested in a long-term deal to remain a focal point of TNA?

    Jeff Hardy: Possibly, yeah, I mean I’m locked in pretty much for two more years because I re-signed, and it’s up to TNA to keep me around. I’ll make that decision as we get closer to the time, but right now I pretty much have a dream job. I have a three year old daughter and I’m fortunate enough to be able to have this dream job and so much time at home each day with her and I take advantage of it. As long as I keep going now with this schedule, it’s perfect for me. As far as 5, 10 years down the road, I can’t say.

    And they announced in 2013 that they resigned him for two years (so the earliest his contract should be up is next February unless it's one of those things where they ran through his dates or something).

    ^^^ What would people's opinions be of Jeff Hardy returing to WWE(Again). He's clean and sober now so WWE wouldn't have a problem, and I think he'd brighten the roster up a bit.

    Either him or Buh-Buh could add a bit of depth to the pre-show matches alright

    Jeff is better than he ever was as a singles wrestler, WWE would be mad not to sign him. Same goes for Bully.

    Jeff seems like the one person who has consistently been very happy with TNA, wouldn't be that surprised if he blames WWE schedules for a lot of his problems ...and he'd have a point.

    If/when he returns to WWE, I hope he has the wherewitall to demand a reduced schedule and to not give in when they inevitably try and make him do heaps more.

    Matt said before that Jeff would never go back to WWE. Matt Hardy is the source so it could easily be total crap. Other than money, I dont see why he would even want to. He gets to do whatever he wants with his character and gets a lot of time with his family. I'm guessing he made quite a bit of money so shouldnt be needing to go back.
