There is talk about bringing in a special referee for the main event of the May PPV. I was told that TNA management was tossing around names yesterday about who they could bring in. The main event for that show will be NWA champion Jeff Jarrett vs. the winner of this weekend's AJ Styles vs. Abyss bout.
TNA's website posted the name of their July PPV will be "No Surrender" but haven't confirmed an official date publicly for the show.
3 Live Kru vs. The Naturals & Chris Candido vs. Buck Quartermain & Lex Lovett & David Young has been added to the live pre-show for the Lockdown PPV. They are also going to "construct" the Six Sides of Steel live on the pre-show.
TNAWrestling.com has posted a highlight video of Jeff Jarrett, America's Most Wanted, and other TNA stars appearing at IWA Puerto Rico last weekend.
Kevin Nash missed his appearance with Border City Wrestling last Friday due to a film opportunity. Sean Waltman went in his place and the promotion announced Nash would have a makeup appearance down the line. Petey Williams also worked the event. Border City also ran on 4/19, headlined by the first reunion of the New Age Outlaws (BG Jammes and Billy Gunn/Outlaw) as they defeated Tryton and A-1 in Belleville, Michigan. Petey Williams defeated Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley in a Three-Way, while Monty Brown pinned Waltman and TNA Gutcheck winner Jamie D also worked the undercard. Whatever happened to her winning a chance to wrestle on TV?

I'm assuming the Hard Justice main event will be Styles/Jarrett, and I guess this is TNA's way of spicing up this over done match-up, but I have no idea who they could get. The only way it'd make a different in the buyrate is if its a name, but I don't know who would come in or who would make sense. I guess if they can convince Sting it would make sense since his primary TNA feud was with Jarrett, or maybe Shamrock will come back, but him and Jarrett didn't really interact much during Shamrock's run.
Glad to see they've listed a PPV for July, but I wonder if the reason they haven't had a date is because they are not renewing their deal with Universal and they are looking for a venue right now. They could always go back to Nashville, but they will probably get crapped on for the way they left town. I could see them doing somewhere else in the south (esp the Carolinas and Georgia), but I think this could be a good time to test the waters in the mid-west (Chicago would be great) or the northeast (not NYC, but maybe Buffalo or Pittsburgh).
A 3-way six man seems like too many guys in one match, but I guess it doesn't matter since it's the pre-show and everyone will be more concerned with the hype and the cage "construction."
