As noted earlier on TNA's website, the company's production crew did a run through earlier today of setting up and breaking down the barbed wire for the scheduled Barbed Wire Massacre Match between Abyss and Sabu at the Turning Point PPV on December 11. There was said to be talk about taping the match before the PPV went on the air, but a decision was made to hold it live. This is something TNA is priding itself on as it will be the first such match broadcasted on PPV in the United States held live. In addition to the ring being covered in barbed wire, other objects will be wrapped in barbed wire around the ring and throughout the Impact Zone.

The always popular Johnny Fairplay returned at the last TNA TV tapings two weeks ago in co-hosting duties for the syndicated Xplosion show along with Jeremy Borash. There are some photos up in the "Backstage Photos" area on TNApics.com of Fairplay backstage with Borash filming the role. Fairplay missed previous TV tapings as he was filming an episode for the "Fear Factor" program on NBC that will feature reality show alumni.

TNA will return to Soundstage 21 at Univeral Studios in Orlando, FL tomorrow night for another round of iMPACT! tapings for Spike TV for the next two weeks on December 3 and December 10. Announced so far for the tapings includes Raven competing in a (Clockwork Orange) House of Fun Match and AJ Pierzynski of the World Champion Chicago White Sox making an appearance.
