NEW TNA SIGNING, MICK FOLEY UPDATE, FORMER WWE STARS AT TNA THIS WEEK & LOTS MORE

TNA has signed Rob Terry, who had been training at the Team 3D Wrestling Academy in Florida, to a two year deal last week. Terry is originally from Wales. He's the third student from 3D's school to be signed by one of the national companies.

TNA will debut a new weekly Mick Foley segment, "Hardcore History" on Impact this Thursday. Foley will be telling inside stories from his career in the segment.

As Buck Woodward reported on the TNA Against All Odds post-game show in the PWInsider.com Elite section, former WWE talent Shawn (Gavin) Spears was backstage at the PPV. Spears was sporting a broken hand. I'd love to see TNA pick him up as he's one heck of a heel, something WWE failed to utilize when he was on the ECW brand.

Former WWE and ECW star Stevie Richards was backstage at the Impact taping last night. There's talk he may be coming in, which would be another great signing for TNA, but I haven't heard anything concrete.

Matt Morgan worked the Against All Odds PPV with his shoulder taped as he underwent surgery the week before on it to remove an infection.

For those of you who subscribe to the PWInsider.com Elite section, currently online is an interview with Team 3D's Brother Ray that was conducted Sunday prior to the Against All Odds PPV discussing the PPV's main event, the state of TNA's tag team scene with discussion on each team, watching TNA grow and comparing it to his time in ECW, The Dudley Boyz inciting riots, whether that type of behavior could fly in professional wrestling today, whether he ever felt he went too far, the night he nearly caused an ECW PPV to be pulled off the air, Paul Heyman, leaving ECW and then watching it fall apart, promoting, the Team 3D Wrestling Academy, training new talents, opening his businesses outside of wrestling, Jake Roberts and much more.

In regard to my reporting Rhino vs. Brutus Magnus over the weekend, while it was incorrect at the time I wrote it, there was an outdated version of a TNA PPV preview running on some barker channels that mentioned the match, so that's where my confusion came in. My apologies again for the error.
