Last week’s edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a 1.07 rating. This number is down from the previous two episode ratings of 1.13 and 1.17. The show opened with a 1.03, drew to a 1.08, then dipped to a 0.98 (Kevin Nash/Kurt Angle/Angle’s wife backstage segment and the start of the main event aired during this quarter-hour), and then back to a 1.20 (for the main event and the Angle/Joe/Angle’s wife segment).
Former original ECW star member Angel Medina, who was the leader of the Baldies stable, was backstage at last night’s TNA house show in Wichita, Kansas. Medina currently works as a police officer. Medina is close with Homicide and Brother Devon as they all broke in together on the New York City indy scene.
A half-hour special promoting next Sunday’s Road To Hard Justice PPV will air this Saturday at 10:30 pm on Spike.
The Associated Press has picked up on the Adam “Pacman” Jones to TNA story. The article notes that “he signed a contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and will make his in-ring debut on Thursday.” The article features comments from Jones. Jones said, “I am a big fan of wrestling, so I wanted to give it a try. I respect wrestling and I’m not coming in like it’s just a show. I want to prove that I am the greatest team-sport athlete.” A TNA spokesman said that he could not comment on whether Jones will actually wrestle, but that he will be involved in a storyline for sure. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about Jones’ wrestling activities when he visited the Titans’ camp Saturday. Goodell said it was up to Jones to decide what’s in his best interest as he tries to earn his way back onto the field. “I’ve often said that it’s not about what you say, it’s about what you do,” Goodell said. “It’s your actions. And I think the actions will have to determine that.” A link to the article is currently on the front page of Yahoo.com.
