When TNA originally brought Homicide back for some X Division matches, they
didn’t plan to use him much more than a few multi-man matches. However, since he
got over so well in New York City, they changed their plans. The company rewrote
parts of iMPACT! Wrestling episodes to build him up as a contender for Samoa
Joe’s X Division title last week.
Homicide was set to work last week’s iMPACT! tapings in Bethlehem, PA, but he
was forced to withdraw due to shoulder and elbow injuries. He did, however,
appear at a Pro Wrestling Syndicate event (“All Fired Up”) in Rahway, New Jersey
after he personally guaranteed he would be there.
