Tomorrow's TNA Genesis go-home episode of Impact will feature a few big angles as well as Kurt Angle vs. BG James (playing off James' long friendship and association with Jeff Jarrett), Alex Shelley vs. Eric Young in an X-Division semi-final match, and Robert Roode vs. Matt Morgan.
The official talent list for TNA's tour of UK and Ireland later this month are Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Team 3D, Beer Money, Inc., Abyss, Matt Morgan, Eric Young, Jay Lethal, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Doug Williams, Alex Shelley, Consequences Creed, ODB, Taylor Wilde, The Beautiful People and British Gladiators alum Nick Aldis, who will be working under the name Brute Magnus. Interesting to see Chris Sabin isn't going on the tour when Shelley is.
For those of you who are PWInsider.com Elite subscribers, we have a one hour plus interview with Jim Cornette and myself discussing Cornette's upcoming book on the Midnight Express, why he feels the Midnights are held in such high esteem today, highlights of working backstage for TNA, returning to Charlotte this weekend for the Genesis PPV, the differences between being a wrestling booker and a wrestling writer, the end of his association with Ohio Valley Wrestling, frustration with WWE destroying the morale of talent they hire, putting SMW together with investor Rick Rubin, the idea of a TNA developmental territory, how WWE nearly fired Batista, why he has no regrets over slapping Santino Marella around, Jim Ross vs. John Laurinaitis, how Vince McMahon will ultimately be responsible for the death of the wrestling industry, why what UFC is doing is exactly what pro wrestling did decades ago, problems with how wrestling is perceived today, Jim Herd, Dennis Coraluzzo, Gordon Scozzari, George Scott, PWInsider.com's own Les Thatcher, Cornette's wrestling collection, whether he would ever want to launch a wrestling territory today and tons, tons more. It's a really fun listen I think. For details on subscribing to the PWInsider.com Elite section, visit http://www.pwinsider.com/elitenav.php.
A few astute readers sent word that Navarre has no listed TNA DVD projects scheduled for upcoming months. I asked around and was told by a TNA source that is simply an error and the company has additional projects they are currently working on for future release.
This week's TNA website exclusive bout is Chris Sabin vs. Sonjay Dutt.
