Impact Note For Tonight, Styles Speaks on Impact Going Live

December 24, 2009

As a reminder, TNA Impact will NOT air tonight because it is Christmas Eve.

TNA Champion AJ Styles recently sat down for an interview with The Poughkeepsie Journal and had the following to say about Impact going live on January 4th and Hogan and Bischoff coming into TNA:

On TNA Going Live on January 4th: "I’m a little surprised, but I’m ready for it, man," Styles said by phone from Orlando, Fla., where TNA tapes its weekly programs. "Everybody would like to see that Monday-night war again. Going live is awesome. It’s what we’re looking for."

"It’s not like we’re trying to go head-to-head with WWE," Styles said. "But everybody wants to get in there and get live. Nobody can get on the Internet and find out what happened."

On how much he knows about Hogan & Bischoff’s TNA control: "I have talked to Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff as much as you have," Styles said jokingly. "I’ll probably know as soon as you know."
