ROH’s Gabe Sapolsky wrote the following comments about TNA running opposite ROH this weekend in New York City: “As if having the anniversary at the Manhattan Center wasn’t enough motivation, I have to admit that there is another one. We are well aware of some competition in NYC. To paraphrase Jimmy Rollins, we will be the show to beat. We will have the best and most newsworthy show in Manhattan and Long Island. NYC will be hot this weekend, Orlando will be a battleground at the end of March. The winners in all this will be the fans as there is nothing like some competition to light a fire under everyone’s ass. I’m not saying a late 90s style wrestling war is about to start. I’m just saying that ROH is going to prove why you all feel that ROH is the best product out there today. No one is going to show us up.”

Former TNA backstage announcer Leticia Cline will be appearing on the next season of CW’s reality show Beauty and the Geek. You can see Cline’s promotional photo and a profile for the show at Zap2It.com. She lists herself as an “Extreme Sports Model” and Action Sports Announcer. The fifth season of the show will start on Tuesday, March 11.

TNA has given a weekly audio show to two TNA superfans by the name of Bill and Doug. The two fans are “YouTube shooters” who have caused a lot of controversy on the video sharing site with their homemade videos praising TNA and ripping WWE. If you go on YouTube, there are a number of videos from angry fans mocking them or calling them out over their controversial comments. It’s labeled as a show “Made by fans… for the fans.”

Booker T is working with the NBA’s Houston Rockets to promote his Pro Wrestling Alliance.
