According to sources in TNA, Kurt Angle will not wrestle on 9/8 in Nagoya, Japan at Antonio Inoki’s second house show. The plan was for Angle to defend the IWGP title in the opening match, and then fly back to Orlando in time for the 9/9 No Surrender PPV. Inoki had been working on an Angle vs. Lesnar rematch for the show. On a side note, Inoki is trying to convince Paul “Big Show” Wight to work the show, but that appears to be a long shot at this point.
From Annie Hilenski & Michael Williamson: I was watching TNA, and the theme music for the TNA Bound For Glory Tour was Mickie James’s old theme song, Ice Breaker.
Adam “Pacman” Jones has signed with National Street League Records to do a hip hop album to be released in 2008.
