i'm assuming it'll be someone from the following - john morrison, chris masters, luke gallows, jay lethal, chavo, dh smith, carlito - they love ex wwe guys but not as much as they used to and their product is all the better for it.
i'd love it if they raided the like of ROH and new japan and it was the like of the briscoes, benjamin and haas etc... or fergal devitt one can only dream.
but in fairness i've nothing against them using ex wwe guys look what happened with stone cold or nash and hall when they went the other way
especially the like of morrison and chavo i think could really add to the roster and maybe get taken a bit more seriously then in their wwe time, and if it brings the likes of benjamin & hass or the briscoes and TNA has the potential for an awesome tag team division - if only we had the MCMG still and Beer Money but hey they they're busy main eventing now -
ah its been a while since bischoff and TNA had a faction so i'm guessing its for his return in some wa;);)shape or form.0 -

Dixie Carter made the following announcement on Twitter today…Excited to have signed @AustinAries to a long term deal. I share the story on TNA Today TODAY.
– Yesterday, we posted the following report and video on TNA World Heavyweight champion Austin Aries. He was a guest on 4th & Pain, the only pro wrestling radio show hosted by an NFL player and a weight loss champion.
Washington Redskins defensive end Adam Carriker had a chance to meet Aries while he was backstage recently at an Impact taping. A week or so later, Aries became the world champion and joined Carriker and co-host Chuck Carroll on the show.
Aries thinks that Carriker has a future in pro wrestling after his playing days are over in the NFL. His comments echoed those of Hulk Hogan who said much the same thing to the former first round pick during his visit to the Impact Zone.
Conversely, Carriker and Carroll concluded that Aries’ athleticism should be good enough to at least garner a tryout in the NFL. The champ thinks he could carve out a little niche for himself with the pigskin a la Wes Welker.
As it turns out, Aries is a huge Green Bay Packers fan and joked with Carriker and Carroll that he wished the Redskins “half the success” of Aaron Rodgers and company.
Aries played football growing up, but primarily focused on baseball. But one of the seasons he did play football he was a defensive lineman.
During the interview Aries also stressed the importance of cultivating talent that has come up through the ranks and developed on the indy scene.
On the fitness side of things, Carroll, who bills himself as a weight loss champion after losing 250 pounds and keeping it off, was intrigued by Aries’ passion for the vegetarian lifestyle. The wrestler was VERY knowledgeable about nutrition and the food system in this country.
Aries has been a vegetarian for a little over a decade, having made the switch shortly after becoming a wrestler.
Aries on being a vegetarian
“When I made that decision it forced me to learn about nutrition, forced me to learn about the things I should be eating. It also exposed to me the corporate farming methods we use in this country and just how unhealthy it is for us as consumers. When you’re relying on corporations to feed you, you have to remember that their bottom line is making money. And if they have to compromise quality of food or the procedures of how they produce that food to make more money they’re going to do it. A lot of times the people who pay the price are the consumers or us. Whether or not a vegetarian diet is something that is for you or for everybody… I do say that even if you’re going to be a meat consumer you can do it in a more humane and responsible way, not only for the animals, but for yourself and for the planet.”

As noted last week here on the website, the July 12th edition of TNA iMPACT! Wrestling scored a 0.85 (0.9) cable rating, which was down 15.5 percent compared to the July 5th episode. It also needs to be noted that TNA lost viewers due to the ongoing Viacom vs. DirectTV dispute.

Q: iMPACT! opened with a 0.85 rating – right at the show average – for the Bully Ray vs. Joseph Park grudge match, plus half of a commercial.
Q2: iMPACT! increased slightly to a 0.87 rating for RVD vs. Samoa Joe, various backstage segments, and one-and-a-half commercials.
Q3: iMPACT! was essentially even with a 0.88 rating for A.J. Styles’s latest Claire storyline development with Daniels & Kaz in the ring, one commercial, and more of the storyline backstage.
Q4: iMPACT! dipped to a 0.80 rating for Zema Ion vs. Dakota Darsow match, two commercial breaks, and Austin Aries’s ring intro for his victory speech.
Second Hour Break Down:
Q5: iMPACT! increased to a show-high 0.89 rating for Aries’s speech interrupted by Bobby Roode, Hulk Hogan backstage, and one commercial.
Q6: iMPACT! was essentially even with a 0.88 rating for Miss Tessmacher vs. Gail Kim with Brooke Hogan on commentary, one commercial, and hype for Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Anderson in the main event.
Q7: iMPACT! dipped to a second-hour-low 0.81 rating for more of Claire Lynch, a Magnus promo, ring intros for the main event, one commercial, and the first-half of Angle vs. Anderson.
Q8: iMPACT! increased to a 0.84 rating, which was still below the first-half of the second hour, for the finish of Angle-Anderson, one commercial, and Sting’s speech before he was interrupted by the Aces & Eights attacking Hogan0 -
