TNA News: New Latino Group?, Brother Ray Mad, Angle Speaks

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

There has been talk of bringing in a babyface Latino group to feud with LAX. If this does come to play, the faction would be headed by Apolo (real name Germán Figueroa). However, some people don't want Apolo to be brought back because he no-showed some dates during his last run with the company, more specifically, the TNA Final Resolution PPV last January.

Brother Ray was very mad backstage at the 12/11 Impact tapings. He wanted Team 3D's return to TNA to be a surprise so that they could get the surprise pop from the crowd. However, before the show, ring announcer Dave Penzer ran down the show to say who was there, and he mentioned Team 3D.

Kurt Angle appeared on the Bubba the Love Sponge show on 12/8, which was a few days prior to his PPV match with Samoa Joe. However, he didn't talk about his upcoming match that much on show. Instead, he mostly talked about doing MMA. Angle claimed that he was planning on doing four MMA matches, the first of which would be on a TNA PPV in May or June. He said his first opponent would either be Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Ken Shamrock or Daniel Puder. He also claimed that this PPV would do one million buys and head-butts would be legal.
