Dan sent this in: Thought you’d like to know, but it looks like Sunday’s PPV will be ***HIGHLY*** papered. Ticketmaster and some corporate Bi-Lo Center contacts were releasing for nothing more than the the Ticketmaster fee (around $2). These tickets included the $100 level. This after I spent over $59/ticket that were, of course, non-refundable. BTW, the advance up to the papering was around 1500.
Landon Doane sent this in: It’s been reported on the Jim Rome Show that TNA has offered a contract to former Texas Tech & Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight their first ever ‘Head Coaching’ position. I haven’t been about to find it on ESPN, but Rome has mentioned it a couple of times.
