#OneNightOnly X-Stravaganza.
This Saturday in Orlando, Fl!
Featuring...
Rubix
Sonjay Dutt
Greg Marasculo
Rashad Cameron
Low Ki

And...

This Saturday we have 2 great #OneNightOnly events.

First show at 1pm will be World Cup and captains of teams announced Friday.

I love these announcements, and I'm very excited to see the booking for these shows.

I'm especially stoked to see Marasculo(Trent Baretta) and Low Ki booked. Hopefully both have great showings and the company will push to try and get them on the roster.

TNA has seriously stepped up their game for these One Night Only events in 2014.

"World Cup Of Wrestling"? Unless they bring in full teams from AAA, Wrestle-1 and Canada it's just gonna look silly like last year. Also, it's a shame that a show named after a World Cup has to be in the freakin' Impact Zone. Not really looking forward to that one. X-travaganza I can get behind though.

TNA has officially announced that recently absent competitors Austin Aries, Bad Influence, Manik, and Chris Sabin will all be a part of the X-Travaganza taping(no word on if any of them will work the World Cup taping but it seems likely that they would). Combined with the talent that had already been announced by Gaburick's tweet, this show is absolutely loaded and could turn out to be something very special.

And to help illustrate my point, they have also announced the first match that has been booked for the X-Division ONO event:

The Wolves vs. Bad Influence in a Ladder Match. I have no fucking words.

TNA has officially announced that recently absent competitors Austin Aries, Bad Influence, Manik, and Chris Sabin will all be a part of the X-Travaganza taping.

Very excited to hear this news, as was worried about some of them leaving the company. However, in another thread on here (The Other TNA Original) someone has said that Sabin is officially released? Not sure what to believe! This seems to be a turning point for talent contracts, and while I know they will need to release some wrestlers to make way for young, fresh, and cheaper blood, I really don't want Bad Influence, Manik, or Aries to go...they all offer so much! Sabin was doing some of his best work recently as a heel, so it would be a shame for him to go as well. Anyone know his status?
