Numerous Spike TV executives were backstage at the TNA Unbreakable PPV on Sunday and many sat in the front row for the entire show on the hard camera side. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves and were observering crowd reactions very closely. According to reports, they stayed out of everyone's way backstage and didn't interfere in any decisions or operations. TNA President Dixie Carter and top executive Frank Dickerson seemed very pleased with the event as well. One of the Spike TV officials will also be taking part in production duties for the comapny on a regular basis along with David Sahadi, Keith Mitchell and Kevin Sullivan.

TNA management requested that Kevin Nash attend the Unbreakable PPV this past Sunday so that he could be introduced to Spike TV executives. Nash was said to have finished at the top of a focus group study Spike did to rate the recognition factor of certain wrestlers, some who are on the current roster and others that aren't. Nash only stayed backstage for a few hours and left before the show concluded to make a flight to California for some film commitments. He is scheduled to attend the September 27th TV tapings for Spike TV and has agreed to work the Bound for Glory PPV on October 23rd even though he hasn't signed a long-term contract.

Jerry Lynn was backstage at the TNA PPV working in his usual role as an agent. Any future plans for his in-ring return have been derailed in TNA at the moment due to Sean Waltman no-showing the PPV and most likely not being welcome back.
