Allie return to TNA

I'm really happy not only to see Allie back, but I'm just happy to see Allie come back to wrestling. I'm really looking forward to it.

Steve Maclin contract status

Notice how when TNA said, 'we've re-signed Steve Macklin,' who picked that up? Who got to announce that deal? It wasn't us. It wasn't Sports Illustrated. It was nobody. It was TNA.

Ricky Sosa TNA debut

Ricky Sosa did not work on the live show and he was able to do a match for Explosion and now they brought him in for night number two... he got a huge reaction. A great crowd reaction.

Future TNA storylines

I'm still waiting for Lish to turn on Moose at Sacrifice, join up with Eddie Edwards, and then we go to Rebellion where Eddie Edwards and Lish are together again to go up against Mike Santana for the world title.

Steve Maclin TNA storyline

I got to say last week, the way that things kind of came back together, the way that Macklin got his job back, reinstated and all that stuff, it wasn't good. This week, I will say it was a lot better.

Steve Maclin character development

This unhinged version of Steve Macklin is very funny because it's undisciplined. For the guy who was a former service member who was always very buttoned up, for him to be unhinged and just let loose, it's good. It's different.

Jeff Hardy's new move

I still have the question, what is this final destination submission move that Jeff is doing? It looks awkward to me. It looks like he's about to set up for his sister Abigail and then he doesn't do it.

TNA roster strategy

I think that's a big, big opportunity for TNA if they take advantage. They need new, young, upcoming, vibrant stars.
