Former TNA Television Champion Gunner has signed a new three-year deal with TNA Impact Wrestling.
Former TNA X Division Champion Kid Kash is still currently with TNA, but as reported a number of months back, he has been training for a mixed martial arts fight, possibly in connection with TNA's new partnership with the Bellator Fighting Championship promotion.
The TNA locker room is said to be very excited and very hopeful about TNA going live on television this summer. One anonymous source in TNA said the following:
"Let's face it, we were being taped days in advance. Unless you were a diehard fan, the show could be watched in fast forward and dismissed if you had a kneejerk reaction to the spoilers. This puts more pressure on everyone and there will be screwups, but now, the fans won't have a preconceived notion on what they are going to watch. There's a reason for them to invest live in the show weekly. Maybe the ratings will stay the same, maybe not but the average fan that might have dismissed us - it gives them a reason to give us a second chance because now we aren't taping two, sometimes three weeks in advance. If something blows, we can change directions now. It something clicks, we can run with it. Either way, fans have a reason to invest in us again. That's more exciting than anything. No one wants to be second class citizens and this is a way for the company not to be seen that way anymore."
