- TNA sent out text alerts to its Mobile subscribers tonight saying that a major announcement regarding TNA's future would be announced this Sunday at the No Surrender PPV. They also said that they are in talks with a former World champion and made some merchandise announcements including the fact that Target stores now carry TNA figures.
I'm not all crazy for the announcement because it's obvious that iMPACT! is going to be expanded to two hours.
As far as the former World champion goes, of course this is a former WWE champion. I'm struggling between Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar here, even though I much rather see Jericho back in the WWE where he is needed currently.
I'm assuming the former champion will be Brock Lesnar. It was said that he met with Dixie Carter and I doubt they just met because Lesnar was bored and trying to keep himself occupied and of course he is good friends with Kurt Angle. It's also being said TNA piratically gave up on Chris Jericho and at the same time Kurt Angle is trying his best to bring in Lesnar.
I admit I'm still pissed off at Lesnar for the way he left at WrestleMania 20, but if indeed this is who we are talking about, then this is a major upside for TNA. Brock Lesnar is still young enough to be the future of TNA, unlike many top names.
Thoughts?
