On the show he announced that TNA would be going live for 3 hours at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Insiders at TNA say that this has been planned for over 4 months but they were waiting on the right opportunity to make it public. We will have to see how it goes and we expect to see nearly all of the roster in the action packed show, which may have a few mistakes along the way.

- Also on iMPACT! we saw the interesting debut of Rob Van Dam, real name Robert Alexander Szatkowski. He debut as part of the James Mitchell 'movement' and so far has been a shock for fans. He left WWE as a big baby face and now is trying to show more of an intense side. Be expected to see a big promo cut by him on the next iMPACT which could be hit or miss.

- There has been rumblings around TNA that Christopher Daniels and Ron Killings are getting big pushes. As shown on Thursday we saw Ron Killings gain a main event spot for the next PPV, Against All Odds. And in the main event last Thursday we saw development of the Angle/Cage/Booker feud. We have not got conformation on this but we believe that Cage and Booker will be having a gimmick match at AAO and Angle will soon be moving into a feud with one of these various stars. AJ Styles, which would lead to a face turn for AJ. Samoa Joe, which we have seen many times before or being thrust into a big feud with Sting. Also Tomko is said to be happy with his current situation and is line for a singles push in the near future after turning on Angle and AJ for his friend Cage.

- Sting also announced that once he lost his TNA World Heavyweight Championship that he would retire for good. Which brings us to the conclusion that he will have a very long title run, maybe up to 6 months and go out in a Blaze of Glory. It is said that he would like to make a return after a lay off for TNA and make a big comeback.

- Also we have inside news that AMW; James Storm and Chris Harris are expected to have a few backstage alterations and team together at the 3 Hour Live Show.

- Last part of news is that TNA have announced on their website that this Thursday that in a semi final qualifier for the X Division shot at AAO, Petey Williams will take on 'Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels and Kaz will take on the debuting D-Lo Brown.
