- TNA has released new t-shirts for Taz, Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash.

- Dixie Carter was at the TNA tapings on Monday and Tuesday night of this week but wasn't at last night's tapings as she returned to Nashville.

- In an update and correction on the Jeff Jarrett situation, it was indeed Dixie Carter who made the final decision on Jarrett taking "personal time away." There is still no timetable on Jarrett's return to things.

- The TNA creative team at this point will be Vince Russo, Dutch Mantel, Matt Conway and Jeremy Borash, who has been on and off the team unofficially for a while now. Conway has been working backstage with the company in different aspects for some time. The general feeling is that TNA will continue with the direction that was already laid out before Jarrett's hiatus.

- As noted before, don't expect the RAW special guest host gimmick to go away anytime soon. WWE has contacted a number of celebrity fans who want to participate as well as film and TV projects looking to use RAW as away to promote themselves, which is how actor Jeremy Piven ended up getting the spot for RAW in two weeks.
