— The ongoing saga of TNA iMPACT! Wrestling’s future on Destination America will be resolved sometime this month, but today is not that day. According to sources, the talent is still in the dark about the show’s future on the network with only three weeks until Discovery Network previously said in an internal memo that they were going to use their out clause to cancel the show.

As we have said in the past, the problem Discovery had with iMPACT! had do to with the profit margin as opposed to the ratings. The show is doing okay for Destination America’s ratings but the cost is prohibitively high. Ring of Honor didn’t help anything but then again, Destination America isn’t paying for ROH TV costs nor are they promoting it.

While it is conceivable that TNA could stay on the network for a lower money deal, the lack of any announcement or new TV taping dates is a reason for concern as is the fact that most of Discovery’s overseas deals for TNA have ended in recent weeks.

— TNA’s Jessie Godderz made a return to Big Brother last night, running the veto competition. Godderz competed on seasons 10 and 11, and has made several cameo appearances (during season 12, 13, 14 and now (this season) season 17).
