It looks like we haven't seen the last of 'Big Poppa Pump' in TNA. Scott Steiner, 44, has signed a new long-term deal with TNA and he should be back on television very soon. They also have a plan in place for a Scott Steiner/Kurt Angle feud later in the year. Steiner hasn't appeared in a TNA ring since August. The reason for his disappearance was due to the fact that he wasn't satisfied with his pay. Steiner initially joined TNA for less than his asking price and he thought he deserved a raise by that point after he had proved himself. The two parties couldn't come to an agreement as contract negotiations came to a standstill, and thus he hasn't appeared on television in several months.
It hasn't been officially announced, but it looks as if TNA will indeed get a two hour special on Monday, February 12 when RAW would otherwise be airing on USA. RAW is preempted for the dog show on that night and it won't air on Sci-Fi either because of a marathon scheduled for that network on that evening. So if the deal goes down, TNA will go unopposed on that night in what could be its only chance for years to air on what's become the main "wrestling night" in America and capture some new viewers looking for their weekly wrestling fix. Furthermore, the show is slated to replay on Thursday night during the usual start time.
TNA's interview girl Leticia Cline is in an online modeling contest along with some other models. The winner will get a Photoshoot and layout in HighRoller Magazine, among some other prizes.
