I missed the actual PPV. So while I can't give my usual take on what happened, I will go pro-TNA here about some of the other things I see surrounding the company. Let's get busy!
*Roxxi released from TNA...As seen last night at Slammiversary, Roxxi agreed to put her TNA career on the line against Madison Rayne and her Women's Knockout championship. Rayne retained her title, after hitting Roxxi with the championship belt, ending her TNA career in the process. Sources within TNA indicate she is indeed through with the company.
Roxxi was not informed of her release from the company until yesterday, which is why she was visibly upset prior to and after her Slammiversary bout. The decision garnered much heat backstage as many feel TNA could have handled the situation better.
EddaDrama says...TNA is wrong on so many accounts here that it's hard to even get started. Off hand I'd say to TNA...Look, the Knockouts Division is your current "Bread-n-Butter". You want to keep your girls in tact. Especially someone like Roxxi. This isn't like Tara/Victoria's situation. Roxxi didn't mind jobbing to Madison. If given the chance, she would've done it again on Impact. To take someone like that, who was proud to be on the TNA roster, and show her the door...That's just wrong. Personally, I really hope that WWE eventually comes around to getting her on their roster. The Divas could use the help, and Roxxi could use a job she can trust to not just simply let her go on a whim.
*Tommy Dreamer to TNA...
Tommy Dreamer is scheduled for both sets of TNA iMPACT! tapings this week. There is no official word on if he signed a deal or not, but it is believed that one is about to happen. Dixie Carter wanted Dreamer to join the company, and personally reached out to him. As of now, Dreamer is only scheduled to be an on air talent, but many hope that he can transition into a backstage role, similar to what he did with ECW and WWE.
EddaDrama says...I like this move for both Dreamer and TNA! Sure, Tommy could've stayed retired. Sure he's a ECW/Hardcore legend....and Sure he could've gotten more money to stay in the WWE. All that said, look at who we're talkin' about. Dreamer gave his all to WWE. Both in the Original ECW years, and in the years after ECW was brought out. Dreamer remained a Team Player no matter what. Plus, when it was clear that WWE was gonna close the door on ECW for good, the Dreamer simply bowed out gracefully first. Dreamer always put others ahead...and that's exactly what TNA needs. A big name that can deliver a good match, all the while getting the other guy over. Already I'm interested in seeing Abyss and Dreamer interact. Teaming up, and/or going against each other should be quite entertaining. Plus a Dreamer/RVD reunion could be sweet.

Thoughts of NXT invading RAW..Last week we saw NXT go nWo on RAW, and this week they got even more crafty. Now...I wanna know, what's really good? NXT had 1 guy win. everyone else was done, but when we hear about NXT season one guys these days, we hear that they are the "graduating class of season one". .
Graduating Class?...
Why push everyone?...It's clear that WWE wants pure wrestling and internet sensation, Daniel Bryan. But it could look the wrong way if DB got a push after getting eliminated, and all, or even some other NXT members was just shown the door. So keep them all on, and just see how the WWE Universe takes them in. Gotta admit, each wrestler there has somethin' to offer. This should be very interesting.
