[The Spin]

Great stuff but just as a technicality, Cage matches in TNA are generally called "6 sides of steel" matches

 

[GrayNicolls]

Ah, cheers Chez. I will change that now.

 

[Jaztheman]

nice show conner, doing wonders for TNA

 

[plympilgrim]

great work grays, nice to see jericho and kurt fight it out in a version of a cage match

 

[The Spin]

Ah, cheers Chez. I will change that now.

Sorry, Im fussy about these things

It is a cage match, just called differently, no difference in the actual match at all.

End of month updates

January has been a busy month for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and hopefully in the month of February we will see if they can reach global status.

The first piece of news is that Jim Ross has retired from commentating. TNA have brought in ex Smackdown! commentator Michael Cole to fill the announcing slot.

One of the biggest pieces of news is that USA network have offered a primetime slot to TNA, which was gladly accepted. So, a TNA have a new show which will debut next Wednesday. It is called TNA Pwnt.

Out of TNA, ECW have been promoted to a primetime slot on Sci-Fi.

The biggest news, though, is that TNA have fired Sting and hired Randy Orton. TNA booker, Connor said: "We are very happy with the roster now and don't intend to change anything for a long time."



Next show is iMPACT!
