The main event of the 12/5 TNA Final Resolution PPV in Orlando, Florida will feature TNA champion Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Morgan. For details on the VIP weekend package, which if you are going to any TNA PPV, I highly suggest, visit www.shoptna.com.
The "Finding Hulk Hogan" A&E special will have a number of replays in the next few days and is worth going out of your way to see just based on the production levels. The editing on this thing was incredible and Bischoff-Hervey outdid themselves here. If you have followed Hogan's career closely over the last few years, you likely won't learn anything new and some of the presentation of facts might upset you, but it was Hogan's side of that story, so you can't begrudge them for setting out to show how he's been broken down and is rebuilding his life. The entire point of view was to create a sympathy for Hogan with the viewers and they accomplished that goal. TNA President Dixie Carter is interviewed and comes across as someone who wants to help Hogan close his legacy on his terms, not on the terms of all his outside turmoil. They tried to paint TNA as something that needs work to get to the next level, although the reality is that the company a year later, TNA still needs that work and the Hogan blueprint wasn't the intangible "it" they are still looking for.
ShopTNA has released a new Rob Van Dam t-shirt, one of the better looking TNA shirts of late, as well. Their Black Friday sale, with up to 80% off, is still ongoing.
TNA has released a double DVD set of the 2010 No Surrender and Victory Road PPV events.
TNA posted a video of their return to Nashville, TN in what will likely be the final wrestling event held at the Nashville Fairgrounds. I am quite sad about hearing the venue will be ripped apart as it was one of the first venues specifically built for pro wrestling and when you think about the history of TNA, it's probably the most important venue the company ever ran. There's a lot of emotion and close calls when it came to the health of TNA that played out in that building during the era of the weekly Wednesday night PPVs. Without that venue, TNA wouldn't have lasted, something that might be lost on those who weren't there during the era where the Jarretts were the only owners and Jill Jarrett spent time painting the venue to make it presentable for PPV. It's as important to TNA as the ECW Arena was to ECW -perhaps moreso - so I'm glad they had a chance to "bid farewell". Hopefully, this eventually makes it's way to DVD.
