She just came back, too.

Apollo (Consequences) Creed has been released from TNA. No surprise since they've done nothing with him for ages.

Christopher Daniels was released by TNA, no word on if he had requested his release as of now.

Word is that TNA released Daniels on Wednesday and he immediately contacted ROH, thus his surprise return at the BIG BANG iPPV. Definitely a welcome addition to ROH and I can't wait to see him on ROH TV (hopefully). His promo against Richards was really good, which is not surprising since he's a great talker along with his in-ring talent.

That seems surprising. Wasn't he one of the original TNA stars? Has he not been used in the Hoganized-TNA?

Yes and no. He was used the first couple of weeks, as a prime representative of the X Divison, then has been notoriously absent as that same storyline focused on Kazarian, Doug Williams, and Shannon Moore.

Anyone heard the reason yet why Daniels was released? I'm assuming he asked for his release because he was pissed off with creative but I haven't found any info to confirm it.

Maybe his release was similar to how Raven left WCW; "if anyone is unhappy, there's the door." If so, who will make up the quartet that reappears in ROH or in WWE?

I can dream, can't I?

Id be happy with Daniels, Samoa Joe, and Motor City MachineGuns

Since I'm probably not gonna get AJ dropping the belt in the trash next to Michael Cole.

Although the way Bischoff is booking I could see AJ dropping his title belt next to the TNA announcers since he is no longer the TNA Champion.  He is the WCW Champion.

Until later

Tara has left TNA.

Well shit. There goes any sliver of interest I had.

TNA has fired Bubba the Love Sponge. And they didn't even wish him well afterwards.

"TNA fires douchebag"

Do you get the feeling that Meltzer & Alvarez don't really like the guy?

I know you'll all be in shock as to how this could happen to a fine, upstanding citizen. Please try to hold it together.

The word backstage at the TNA Impact tapings this week has been that Scott Hall is no longer working for TNA. Hall was arrested on May 14 for disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer outside The Hitching Post bar in Florida. Hall had been working on a nightly deal for TNA until he was let go by the company.

Powell's POV: TNA wrote Hall out of the storylines last night. Hall has pleaded not guilty to the charges listed above. There were said to be some bad feelings that Hall never bothered to tell TNA management about his arrest, which occurred the same weekend as the TNA Sacrifice pay-per-view. Hall was out of jail in time for the show, but sources believe TNA officials found out about the arrest online like everyone else.

This is the darkest day in the history of our sport.

On the plus side, he can always "wrestle" with Insane Clown Posse. *snicker*

If TNA had five dollars for every time they released Scott Hall, they'd be solvent.

PWnet says TNA is done using HepC-Pac.
