During a Q & A session at the WrestleReunion 2 convention this past weekend, Bubba Ray Dudley (who will need a new name soon thanks to WWE) described TNA as the "new ECW" in professional wrestling and that he sees the same type of drive and work ethic in the TNA workers that he experienced while with Extreme Championship Wrestling.

Former TNA referee Mike Posey has signed a deal with WWE and will begin working in the Deep South Wrestling territory in Georiga.

TNAwrestling.com conducted an interview with TNA President Dixie Carter this past weekend. In the interview, Carter talks about TNA's television deal with Spike TV, how Panda Energy got into the wrestling business, TNA's prior TV deal with Fox Sports Net, Matt Hardy and more. It is well worth the read.
