TNA received footage of Jushin Liger from New Japan Pro Wrestling and plan on using it to help promote his debut in the company at the Bound for Glory PPV on October 23rd in Orlando, FL at Universal Studios. Liger is being brought in early by TNA to also appear at the Bound for Glory Fanfest event the day before at the Universal Doubletree Hotel. It should be noted that Liger may be used as a semi-regular attraction for big TNA events. Although not confirmed, there has been talks within TNA about doing the same with Ultimo Dragon.
With the former Dudley Boyz recently signing with TNA, a good number of former WWE stars have been contacting TNA and visiting live events as of late looking to get hired by the company. Many former WWE stars attended the Unbreakable PPV two weeks ago including Andrew "Test" Martin (no relation folks), Kenzo Suzuki & wife Hiroko and Kevin "Mordecai" Fertig. It should be noted that TNA has serious interest in signing Shannon Moore once his 90 day clause with WWE expires. Other than that, TNA doesn't have much interest in signing any other talent at the moment.
According to reports, Frankie Kazarian is expected to return to TNA by November. There remains no word on if he will once again team with Matt Bently upon his return or simply have a run in the X Division. Kazarian had teamed with Bently until leaving the company earlier this year for WWE.
