In related news, F4WOnline.com is reporting that Mike Graham visited Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida a couple months ago while TNA was running an Impact Wrestling event, and requested a job on the company's creative team. It's being said that Graham's request was turned down rather quickly.

Graham was said to be shocked by TNA's refusal to hire him, as he had been told by his father, Eddie Graham, that due to his family history in the business, he would likely be hired for any job in the wrestling industry.
