Huge TNA-ECW News Recap Part 2 – Tons Of Backstage News!

NOTE: This is a recap of all the TNA-ECW-Hardcore Justice news that we have posted over the past week. This news is ALL re-posted for those who may have missed some of it:

— The show is not the big surprise mentioned previously by Dixie Carter.

— Paul Heyman has nothing to do with the angle at this time.

— The response of the former ECW wrestlers has been interesting. Some feel excited about the possibility, while others are just acting like it is just another show since they have been down this road before. Some have been extremely thankful for the chance to work the event, while some have tried to get as much as they can from the company for their appearance. One talent, who has been off of TV for years, is refusing to come in unless is was granted a multi-year contract by TNA.

— At this time, the PPV is the only event planed with the ECW theme. But there could be more appearances from ECW alumni after the show, if they can be integrated into TNA storylines.

— Yoshihiro Tajiri and Super Crazy are booked in Japan on August 8th, and will not be appearing at the show.

— Talent with independent bookings on Saturday will be flown into Orlando on Sunday morning. Others that can be there will be doing a Saturday meet and greet with fans at the NASCAR restaurant at Universal Citiwalk.

— TNA is trying to take the approach of the first One Night Stand show, booking who they can to make it an authentic feeling event, including referees and managers. There has even been discussion of honoring former ECW talent that cannot be there on the show.

— Shane Douglas has been contacted to work the event, but he has not agreed to terms. Douglas is reportedly pushing the idea of wrestling Ric Flair on the show to play off of Douglas always calling him out in ECW.

— According to Jerry Lynn’s official website (http://www.jerryfnlynn.com/), he will be working the August 8th TNA Hard Justice PPV against Rob Van Dam. This is the rumored main event that the company has been trying to put together.
