-- Despite being backstage at the Sacrifice PPV event, it’s unlikely that TNA will be using Kenzo Suzuki. They may use him as a favor to New Japan Pro Wrestling however, as they are trying hard to do business with the massive Japanese company. Kenzo has not yet signed with New Japan, but they are coming very close to reaching a deal.

-- There were Spike TV officials at the TNA Sacrifice (which is still being promoted for replay orders on TV Guide channel), and it’s said they were so impressed with the show, that they started asking for lots of rematches on TV for certain wrestlers who gelled well together.

-- It’s likely that Spike will begin promotion for TNA in September, during UFC and WWE programming. This is a move that will certainly earn Spike TV a nasty phone call from Vince McMahon. Expect to see TNA heavily promoted during the final weeks of WWE RAW on Spike TV.

I am glad to see that Spike TV will be promoting TNA. What is Vince going to do? He can be PO'ed all he wants, but there is nothing he can but that. Nasty phone call, what is that going to do? Nothing, Spike TV will still promote TNA reggardless and rightfully so.

If they do have a TNA/WWE Monday Night Wars eventually, then TNA better win.

If Vince is man enough, he let TNA advertise, and see where this competition will go. I think the fued will bring the best out of both comapanies, and ratings will be an issue once again. I can't wait to see both of these companys go head to head, and make the best company wins. With fueds like this, maybe WWE will be creative once again, and that will probably keep our eyes glue to WWE rather than TNA. In any case, I will watch both shows because I love them.
