[Testify]

On 1/12/13 bro:

TNA IMPACT WRESTLING announces information for two (2) 3-hour special programming tapings to take place Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013. Fans will get the chance to experience “TNA Wrestling: X-Travaganza” featuring current and former stars of the X Division and “TNA Wrestling: Jokers Wild Tag Team Tournament” featuring tag team action.

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy will make an appearance and will be available for in-ring photos following the evening event. All activities will be at the IMPACT Zone at Universal Studios Orlando.

“TNA Wrestling: X-Travaganza” will feature an Ultimate X Match, an X-Scape Cage Match, and the return of former X Division stars including Petey Williams, Amazing Red, Matt Bentley and Jimmy Rave. Jerry Lynn will also be making a return as part of his farewell tour before his retirement later this year and will be facing long time rival Rob Van Dam.

“TNA Wrestling: Jokers Wild Tag Team Tournament” will feature teams selected at random competing with winning teams advancing to a 12-man Gauntlet Match with the winner receiving $100,000. Among those scheduled to take part in the tournament are Bobby Roode, Christopher Daniels, Rob Van Dam, James Storm, Samoa Joe, Joey Ryan, Jessie Godderz, Matt Morgan, Robbie E, Mr. Anderson, Robbie T, Chavo Guerrero Jr, Hernandez, Zema Ion and Doug Williams.

Both events will feature TNA Superstars and additional surprise guests.

So: Jimmy Rave, Amazing Red, Petey Williams, and Matt Bentley are all back for one night (at least). Plus, it'll be awesome to see Jerry Lynn one final time b4 his retirement later in the year.

As you may or may not know, this tapings are being shot b/c of the TNA's international obligations to replace a February PPV slot in int. markets.

I miss Petey and Jimmy, they're good guys. Hopefully they bring them back full time.

Indy wrestler, Lince Dorado is also rumored to be a part of the show:

Masked superstar (who had a TNA tryout match not too far back) teased an announcement on his Twitter. It sounds like he is teasing his involvement with the X Division show next Saturday. He said:

"Huge announcement to be made next Wednesday about 1/12! Want to know what it is in advance? I'll let everyone know early if I get to 700!"


:maybe:

Dorado is pretty good. Seen a bit of him in DGUSA. He can move.
