TNA represenative Steven Godfrey gave the following quote to the PWInsider.com website in regards to Booker T's status with TNA Wrestling following his surprise appearance in the main event match of last weekend's TNA live event:
"Booker T is not affiliated with TNA Wrestling at this time. However, due to a mechanical issue, AJ Styles was unable to fly in for the TNA live event, and Booker made a surprise appearance in his place. TNA prides itself on creating the best live events in professional wrestling, and you never know what can happen when you attend TNA Live."

Sean "Syxx-Pac" Waltman recently appeared on the Cowhead radio show out of Orlando and stated that the reason he's been pulled from television in TNA is because he contracted Hepatitis C.

Many were speculating on the reason behind Waltman's absence, but the former nWo and D-X member cleared those rumors up with his Friday appearance on the Florida radio program.

Hopefully Reid will be a better performer than David. Flair's son David was horrendous.

To his credit, David freely admitted he was not ready for that push.
I have a feeling he was rushed into that angle based on who is Dad is.

David didn't have enough natural aptitude.
That's not a criticism - he simply needed more practice time before being thrust into WCW main programming, and if he wasn't Ric Flair's son, I think he probably would have gotten that time.

Just one more bad decision on the part of WCW.

According to F4WOnline.com, TNA is currently trying to secure a match between Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn as the main event for the August 8 pay-per view, which is the show with the ECW-reunion theme.

RVD-Lynn is considered one of the best rivalries, in terms of quality matches, in ECW history. It is also one of the last great main event feuds in the original ECW, as the company focus had shifted to RVD after losing the majority of their top stars to either WWE or WCW. This was during the period where they finally got a national television deal on TNN (which later became the Spike TV network). In fact, the first episode of ECW on TNN was a replay of a classic RVD vs. Jerry Lynn match.

This news comes after the report that Tommy Dreamer is personally working on getting original ECW guys to commit to an appearance during the event. If any further information on former ECW stars commit to the show, we'll have an update here on the site.

TNA "Hard Justice" airs on PPV on August 8 from the TNA Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida.

Also, on a somewhat related note...

The Wrestling Globe Newsletter is reporting that ECW original Bill Alfonso was backstage at the Impact tapings in Orlando this past week.
Alfonso has apparently been looking to work for TNA for awhile now. No word on whether or not TNA has interest in using him.

They need to bring him back ASAP as RVD's manager.  They were great together.

It'll be good for TNA if they can sign some original ECW wrestlers. They need to beef that roster up a bit leading to more story lines.

There's a few guys that can still do it. Jerry Lynn, Mickey Whipwreck, Sandman, Raven, etc. Apparently now Paul Heymen is in talks with Eric Bishoff.

I'd heard that as well.
But it's also been said that,apparently, he isn‘t thrilled with who he‘d be working with and seems to be more interested in working on some projects with Brock, with whom he's still good friends.

It would definately be a good hire for TNA. Plus, Paul hates Vince for stealing his ECW ideas. For a lot that don't know...
- Steve Austin drank his first beer in the original ECW...not WWE
- Cactus Jack aka Mick Foley's hardcore career started in ECW...not WWE or WCW for that matter.
Those are just two examples and there are many more. Wrestling angles, etc that Vince and Stephanie took from him. He was fired by Stephanie because he objected to a lot of her creative crap. These would be good reasons for him to sign with TNA.

If the money and other conditions are right, he still may - just to stick it up Vince's ass.
His supposed disinterest may just be a bluff or a smoke & mirrors ploy.

I think he'll sign eventually. TNA is also interested in JBL although his bad back may prevent this from happening. Mind you, they have a much lighter schedual in TNA.

Definitely.
And, I don't think that Dixie seems like the type of promoter who treats her wrestlers like circus animals.

It's going to take time, but I still that predict TNA will improve and become a bigger player.

I agree. Eventually wrestlers will have to retire from WWE. They are already hurting. Once HHH, Undertaker (who are both injured right now) retire, John Cena, who is left to carry the ship and draw fans??? I highly doubt that people will tune in or buy that 45.00 dollar avarage priced ticket to watch the Miz main event against John Morrison. Know what I mean?

totally agree.  The WWE is vacant of anybody, other than Cena who can truly headline.  I don't like him, but he does draw.  The rest of the roster could be replaced and I don't think anybody would notice.

I would rather watch TNA's Christopher Daniels, A.J.Styles or Samoa Joe anyday over Thee WWE's The Miz, John Morrison or R-truth. Easily.

Daniels is doing a small indy show here in a month or so, I think I'm going to try to get to it.
