It has been confirmed that Jimmy Rave has been released from TNA.
Regarding rumors of Eric Young being released, there is nothing to the story.

The Sun recently had Mick Foley on their WrestleCast radio show, which you can listen to at TheSun.co.uk. Here are some highlights of what Foley said about:

His return match in TNA: “I learned the lesson that if you’re going to forget one thing it shouldn’t be: ‘Hey, there’s two guys crashing through a table – you might not want to have your leg there.' I thought I broke my leg. I could barely walk, but thankfully the swelling has gone down.”

TNA President Dixie Carter: “Dixie is definitely not Vince – and that’s a good thing. Once I got involved with TNA, it was something I really wanted to become a bigger part of. Dixie actually let me make an investment in the company, which was a good thing.”

Vince McMahon and "The Wrestler": “I was asked whether I thought Vince McMahon would like the movie and I said: ‘Personally I don’t think he’ll like it, as he doesn’t like to shine a spotlight on some of the troubles the guys go through.’ Mickey Rourke called me and the first thing he said was: ‘Screw Vince McMahon!’"

His Chances for Making WWE's Hall of Fame: “It’s weird how much talk the Hall Of Fame gets and it’s definitely something people consider. You have to keep in mind that there are guys like Baron Mikel Scicluna, Johnny Rodz, The Fridge and Pete Rose in there – but Bruno Sammartino is not in there. Between Bruno and Bob Backlund, they held the old WWWF title for about 13 years and neither one is in. I’m not going to let Vince determine whether or not my career is a good one by whether or not I’m inducted. Still it would be nice to be asked one day – but I’m not counting on it and in no way would that greatly shape my memories.”

Wow, TNA is getting rid of like all their X division guys.
I hope Foley gets into the HOF too, but he brought up some good points about Backlund and Sammartino not getting in. But when it comes down to it, I think he'll get in.

Getting rid of stars like Rave and Young is furthering there inevitable end. They are trying to be like the WWE with there Heavyweights as the Main Stars. But it isn't working, imo. They don't utilize the stars they have well enough, and really, the X-Division is the only good thing about it, and now that's pretty much finishing up, they will be nothing.

Nice one TNA.

It isn't exactly a nice point.

I am not sure about Backlund, but Sammartino has been called about getting inducted and his wife keeps declining the invitation

All he (Foley) is saying is just that he isn't going to assume he is a first ballot HOF'er, when there are some guys who aren't in. It doesn't matter what way he put it, he was just saying that he, and others, shouldn't assume he is 100 percent going to be in.
