TNA NEWS

Scott Steiner was at Impact looks like he and Flair are mates again.

RVD is in pre-production of a comedy show.

AJ Styles and Kevin Nash are lined up to appear PIW shows in the US, Ron Simmons is the PIW commissioner.

Impact v Raw

my full Impact! recap is up on The Sun website, but below are somme points I feel need to be addressed from the first live TNA show of the Monday Night Wars part 2.

Hulk and Flair blading, a good move I think, the pair had a brawl that befitted their age and in a non-pg environment blood can be shed.

Hogan/Flair/Styles/Abyss opening and closing the show, I liked that, Stings interference gave it a nice spin and had us watching to see what happened next.

Sting turning heel, the stinger is known best as a face, so a heel turn was a shock, he still has some matches inn him, so good move there.

Beautiful Peopple winning knockouts tag belts, the Rayne/Sky combo is better than other incarnations, looking forward to some decent female tag bouts.

Shannon Moore, the high flyer has the potential to boost the x division.

RVD, great intro against Sting, too short a match, but what a way to enter TNA.

Jeff Hardy, he's back and cleaning house, great coup for TNA if he stays clean.

I enjoyed Impact, it trounced Raw and built up the Destination x ppv, the live alternate weeks bit worries me though.

Skye & Rayne in FHM

Skye and Rayne unleash the Pain!

By Phil Allely

FHM magazine meet TNA Knockouts The Beautiful People in this months edition of the popular Mens publication and get a taste of life in the ring from the gorgeous duo.

Madison Rayne and Velvet Skye gave the reporter an insight into how tough wrestling really is during the companies recent UK Tour. Putting him through his paces in the six-sided ring, as some of TNA's top stars watched from ringside, enjoying the writers plight (although how you can complain about being manhandled by Velvet and Rayne is beyond me).

Highligting how brutal the sport can be the pair battered the journalist in the ring, hit him submission moves and left him a battered and bruised mess, highlighting the fact that if a 105lb Rayne could make him hurt, imagine what a 240lb Kurt Angle could do.

the article also features some interesting comments from TNA Champioon AJ Styles and the Uk's own Desmond Wolfe, plus pictures of the training session.
