The Future of Jimmy Snuka Case Could Be Decided Today, Backstage Update on POP TV Dropping TNA Impact Replay, Why the Replay Was Running

TNA Impact Wrestling Replay Update

As Nick noted earlier today, the TNA Impact Wrestling replay that was scheduled for this Saturday at 11:30 am has now been replaced on the schedule by a replay of 60 Minutes.

According to PWInsider.com, POP TV has indeed dropped the Impact Wrestling replay, and the decision was made several weeks ago. The replay was initially programmed as an experiment to see if TNA could generate a decent sized audience in that time slot, which might then allow for a second TNA show to air separately from Impact. When the numbers for the replay started to come in, the decision was eventually made to scrap the replay altogether.

The Future of Jimmy Snuka Case Could Be Decided Today

According to The Allentown Morning Call, a pre-trial hearing into the mental competency of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka is scheduled for today at 1:30pm in Allentown, PA.

The hearing is for the current criminal case against Snuka, and will determine whether or not Snuka is mentally capable of standing trial for the charges against him in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino.
