– TNA officials have gotten more aggressive over the past week or two when it comes to signing Paul Heyman. Heyman has been offered the head of TNA creative job, but he wants even more control than that. Heyman reportedly wants to be what Dana White is to the UFC – the front man who has a ton of power behind the scenes and can overrule virtually anybody and have things done his way. Heyman feels the creative side of TNA needs an overhaul, but that creative isn’t the company’s biggest problem.
– Earlier this week, TNA president Dixie Carter wrote on Twitter that Velvet Sky has signed a new contract with the company. We’re told the new contract is for three years.
– One of the reasons TNA chose Daytona Beach, Florida for the Bound For Glory pay-per-view this year is because it will be easier to travel back to Orlando the next day for iMPACT tapings. It allows the company to take the show “on the road” without going too far from Orlando.
– X Division Champion Douglas Williams is moving to the United States full-time.
– Eric Bischoff missed the iMPACT tapings this week because he was hosting an annual 4th of July event at his Wyoming home. Bischoff isn’t scheduled to appear at the next set of iMPACT tapings either but that could change.
