BG James and Simon Diamond both received tryouts as agents at the Sacrifice PPV and the Impact! tapings two nights later this past week. It isn't known if either were given spots as agents, but if they are then they will be joining Shane Douglas, Dutch Mantel and Jerry Lynn in working behind the scenes to help put matches together with talent.

One of the reasons behind turning "Primetime" Elix Skipper heel again in TNA and placing him with Simon Diamond was to give Skipper someone to talk for him on the mic.

There are said to be no plans for new TNA action figures to be released until 2006. A majority of the action figures and sets that have previously been released through Toy Biz are now just starting to hit toy store shelves.
