TNA NOTES & NEWS ON MAJOR EVENT BEING PLANNED, FOX SPECIALS, FUTURE PPVS AND MORE

It doesn't appear the planned live special on the FOX Sports Network will be happening next month, although the idea isn't completely dead for down the line. Jeff Jarrett is scheduled to head to Los Angeles next week for meetings.
TNA will be holding its Third Anniversary PPV on 6/19. I don't believe there are plans to return to Nashville, TN for that event.
The promotion will begin building up a September PPV titled "Bound for Glory" as their main event of the year. According to several sources, the show is being designed to be TNA's version of Wrestlemania, in that it will be a marquee event with storylines peaking there.
There have been discussions of late about TNA running in New York City, although the timetable wouldn't be for several months down the line. One major obstacle standing in the way of that happening is that TNA has lost their TV coverage in most of NYC due to the Cablevision-Time Warner situation that led to Time-Warner dropping the Fox Sports Network from their lineup of stations. I've heard UXW promoter Frank Goodman's name mentioned in regard to the situation, so he may be getting involved there. He's said on his local New York City hotline that he's been in discussions with TNA about working together.
Raven is currently auctioning off several items on his official website.
So in other words: Down the line there could be alot going on, but right now? Notsomuch. But apparenlty TNA is gonna be making it a while longer, which is a good thing. Most people were giving them until the end of this month, tops. So good for TNA.
