- Kurt Angle's implication in the Florida steroid story was picked up locally in his hometown of Pittsburgh, which made him the focus of the story since he's a local celebrity.
- Bill Behrens, who handles TNA's outside bookings, sent word that AJ Styles was never officially booked for the UWF event in Gainesville, Georgia so he was never removed from the show, which was written here last night. The original plan when booking the event was to feature Styles as the centerpiece of the show, but it never happened.
- Johnny Rodz is expected to make an appearance at the Destination X PPV.
- Beyond duties at the Spanish announcing table, Hector Guerrero will be working on helping TNA with marketing themselves to the Latin market. Guerrero recently dyed his hair black and will appear on this Thursday's Impact.
- Damon Nee, Marvel Toys VP of Product Development has said about the TNA action figure line that one of his goals is to have every TNA performer represented with a figure. There are plans to release Tracy Brooks as a "Build A Figure" piece, where you would collect different figures in order to get all the pieces, then assemble. They've done that for years with the Marvel Comics toy line. Nee noted they'd look into doing that with other female performers as well, mentioning So Cal Val and Gail Kim in particular. When asked about adding those who worked for the company in the past, like the Harris Brothers and Chris Candido, he noted the focus was on the current stars at the moment, but didn't rule it out.
Also scheduled for Impact:
*Serotonin vs. Lance Hoyt & The Voodoo Kin Mafia
*James Storm & Eric Young & Robert Roode vs. Sonjay Dutt & Petey Williams & Jay Lethal
*There will be a match featuring Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Christian Cage, among others, that is set up during the course of the episode.
*Also scheduled to appear are Tomko, Rhino, and Abyss.
