- There is heat amongst the TNA wrestlers over the booking team putting Jamie D, the mystery woman, with A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels, with the feeling being that she only got her job because the person that trained her, Scott D'Amore, is a booker within the company.

- As reported last week in the Scoop, The Naturals' storyline with Shane Douglas may be over before it begins. TNA has requested that Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas get haircuts. Andy Douglas protested and he now has major backstage heat on him. This is not the first time Andy Douglas has had heat. He was suspended for 30 days several weeks back when he missed two UWF/TNA house shows.

- NWA-U wrestler Spoiler 2000 picked up another title recently. He defeated New Age Dogg, Seth Shai, and Bash to win the American Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Title in Marhsall, TX over the weekend. The match featured Kelly the timekeeper as the referee for the match. He was knocked out while senior official Jeff came to the ring. New Age Dogg pinned Bash while Spoiler pinned Seth. After some arguments Spoiler 2000 was awarded the title since Kelly was the official referee of the match. New Age Dogg then apparently retired after the match. It marks the second time S2K has held the title.
