David Eckstein of Cardinals on TNA, Kurt Angle spots & upcoming events

TNA taped an interview with David Eckstein of the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals and Jim Cornette in Louisville earlier today. This will air during the two-hour primetime show on November 16 at 9pm ET on Spike TV.

According to reports, there were some TNA commercials airing during WWE Monday Night Raw in various major markets focusing on Kurt Angle. These spots were done by the local cable companies and not by USA Network, as USA wouldn't have allowed that to air nationally.
