– As reported previously, TNA attempted to book Japanese legend Jushin “Thunder” Liger for this weekend’s Victory Road pay-per-view. According to one source, Liger was going to appear but decided not to when TNA requested that he pay for his own flight to the event. There has now been some new light shedded on the situation, as according to a New Japan Pro Wrestling representative, the decision for Liger not to appear at Victory Road was made by New Japan’s Tokyo office, as it would have conflicted with New Japan’s touring schedule. New Japan’s schedule lists an event for November 8th at the Kitazawa Town Hall, although Liger is not publicly announced as appearing at that event. The next New Japan show after that is their Osaka Dome show on November 13th. According to one TNA source, the company really wanted Liger to appear to have somthing extra and special for the fans. In regard to the plane ticket rumor, the source stated, “I haven’t heard that at all but I would have paid for his damn ticket myself just so we could have him here”.
