Top TNA Star Praised at Last Set of Impact Tapings

There was a lot of talk backstage in TNA regarding how great Eddie Edwards’ work was during the last set of Impact Wrestling tapings in Orlando, specifically in the cage match he had with Bobby Lashley which will air on Impact this week.

Who is Currently Playing Suicide?

The Suicide character was brought back in TNA for a One Night Only X-Division Xtravaganza PPV filmed during the last set of TNA tapings. The character was played by Jonathan Gresham, and there is no word as to whether or not Suicide is being brought back in a regular TNA role. The character was last played by current WWE CWC competitor TJ Perkins, under the name Manik.

More Backstage News on Moose’s New TNA Deal

With regards to Moose’s new TNA deal, as noted it’s a two year contract which will see Moose work 110 dates. Moose did have talks with Ring of Honor about re-signing with the company, however when WWE expressed interest, Moose ended the negotiations with ROH. WWE later backed off on making an offer to Moose, and while the reason why has yet to be confirmed, it’s been reported that Moose’s past domestic violence issues are why WWE stopped moving forward with a contract offer. Once WWE was no longer an option, Moose resumed negotiations with ROH, but ended up taking the TNA deal as it looked more attractive on paper.
