Lots of TNA news: 2 hours Impact and more

Lots of TNA news...

- Everyone backstage is very excited over the signing of WWE production wiz David Sahadi. Most believe he can be a major addition to the staff if given the proper tools to work with.

- D-Lo Brown has been encouraged by Jeff Jarrett to stop working for All Japan so he can focus on TNA, but Brown has refused. The new character featured in vignettes recently was likely to be for D-Lo, but that new character seems to have been dropped now.

- Low Ki is another wrestler that has picked Japan (Zero-One in this case) over regular TNA bookings. Guys like Low Ki and Brown generally get more bookings and more money in Japan than TNA can offer them.

- Christopher Daniels picked TNA over Japan, but that was due to his high market value in the U.S. indy scene.

- Jonny Fairplay will be at the Impact! taping this week to do an interview with People Magazine. The interview will take place in the ring prior to the taping itself.

- At this point, TNA still does not plan to use Fairplay on TV or PPV. TNA owner Dixie Carter, however, is pushing to get him back on TV, possibly in some type of reality television challenge.

Could Impact! be adding another hour soon?

Jeff Jarrett recently hinted to wrestlers backstage that TNA will be adding a second hour to Impact!. This has led wrestlers to begin speculation regarding a potential move to Tuesday or Wednesday nights for Impact! and possibly a move to another network like FX. Impact! may also be moved to Sunday mornings, which is considered to be a better timeslot than the current one.

Seems interesting, am not sure TNA ready for a two hour show. It's better to work your way up. In the mid 90's Raw was one hour.Once WWE build up their characters and storylines,they made it two hours. I don't know if it was a money issue but sometimes two hours can be alot. I turn the channel alot during Raw and SD because I hate the fillers stuff. Hopefully Russo will become a writer again with Jerry Jarrett having the last say like McMAHON.

TNA should not worry about DLo and Low-KI. TNA have enough talent they can push. I rather see Juvy and Teddy Hart back in TNA before those two. I don't blame DLO or Low Ki for making money but sometimes you need to sacrifice. TNA is trying to build something big.

TNA better hired special trainers for Monty Brown. If Monty Brown becomes good in the ring,TNA will have it's first superstar.
