Lots of TNA news:

[Dave Youell]

- Abyss quit TNA last night at the Impact! tapings in Orlando, FL at Universal Studios. His contract with the company had already expired and that, for some reason, was not noticed by TNA officials for a possible renewal. Many feel he is headed to the WWE very soon. His name still appears on the "Superstars" page over at TNAwrestling.com.

Johnny Swinger also asked for his release from the company last night. It isn't known if he got it or not, as Jeff Jarrett turned down anyone under contract that had asked for their release to this point so far.

We hope to have more on this situation as it develops.

- To add on the story we had up on WrestleView last night (Click Here), it appears Abyss confronted TNA officials about getting a raise at the Impact! tapings on Tuesday night in Orlando, FL. He claimed to have gotten an offer from WWE and was later sent home from the tapings.

Because of this taking place on such short notice, officials ended up running around and changing the taping schedule at the last second. Abyss (whose real name is Chris J. Parks) was scheduled to talk with TNA officials yesterday about possibly staying with the company, but many expect him to leave. It should be noted that there is some heat on Bob Ryder regarding the situation as he is in charge of the contracts with all talent.

- Given the recent situation in TNA taking place with many contracted talent asking for their release but being denied, it appears both The Amazing Red and Sonjay Dutt are coming towards the end of their contracts with the company.

- Christopher Daniels joined Mike Tenay & Don West on commentary at the Impact! tapings and could be a sign that Dusty Rhodes wants to give him a chance to get his personality over with the audience since he is in line to get a big push in the X Division.

- Jeff Hardy showed up very early on Tuesday to the Impact! tapings in Orlando, even before catering was set up for the event. Many feel he has finally started to take his warnings from the company seriously concerning his tardiness in the past. It is no secret many TNA workers grew angry with the company for giving him different treatment than others.
