- The Jeff Jarrett and Tito Ortiz segment from this past week's iMPACT was edited as Spike TV felt it ran too long. Ortiz will be the special guest referee for the Jeff Jarrett vs. Kevin Nash Bound for Glory main event. TNA is very interested in using Ortiz for future appearances, although no deal has been reached yet. The company knows Ortiz has the ability to draw in UFC fans and could develop into a breakout star. WWE has been interested in Ortiz for years.
- Japanese legend Jushin "Thunder" Liger, who will wrestle Samoa Joe at this month's Bound For Glory PPV, is currently scheduled to work the 10/25 iMPACT tapings.
- Samoa Joe continues to receive constant praise for his strong in-ring performances. On a recent Australian tour with the independent promotion WSW, Joe had several good matches with former WWE superstar Andrew "Test" Martin. Test was fired earlier this year while recovering from major neck surgery, stemming from an injury he suffered while working for WWE (awesome PR move). Test has been backstage at several recent TNA events and is likely to be working for the company by the year's end.
