- Although TNA officials punished Jeff Hardy for showing up just 30 minutes before the December 21st Impact! tapings at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL by sending him home, many TNA wrestlers felt Hardy should have been fired over the incident. Given Hardy's track record in the past, the general feeling is that it would be a good idea for officials to sit down with Hardy and discuss his future with the company before anything else gets out of hand.

- Many workers are expecting America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris & James Storm) to beat Team Canada at Final Resolution next Sunday for the NWA World Tag Team Titles. One reason many wrestlers feel it will take place was that TNA management could have promised AMW another run with the belts as part of their new contract negotiations that almost saw them jump to WWE (although some dispute how serious WWE officials actually were at the time). It is no secret now that many TNA workers laugh at both Chris Harris and James Storm behind their backs for the way they act in public places. One observer in the company added quote, "There's nothing more pathetic than seeing somebody who isn't anybody trying to act like somebody."

- Some of the top wrestlers in TNA are currently making it known that they don't want to work with Monty Brown because they feel his character has the potential to turn him into another Goldberg. One TNA wrestler has gone on record as saying that no one wants to work for three minutes and then take the Pounce. Other wrestlers feel Brown's new push in the last few months is going to his head. It should be noted however that Brown is still respectful backstage to other wrestlers, but has hinted that he thinks squash wins are just fine in terms of how his character is portrayed.
