After 3 years of being around TNA was finally making some really progress. The big names were coming to them to mix with their young blood, their roster had never looked better, and of course they had a tv deal, while it wasn't the best time slot, it was still a way to get their product out their on a weekly basis. Besides, things were sure to change soon if they showed they were good enough for a better time slot!
Updates and News:
Throughout 2004 the 3Live Kru went strong, until just a few weeks ago Konnan went heywire and attacked B.G. James! Without explanation. The next week he explained that the group had strayed away from it's original goal, it's goal to make all races equals, so he vowed to make it all about one race, the latino's! He's made it clear that he's got a new "kru" to help him now, and he's going to reveal them very soon.
Rumors have been swerling of former WWE star Andrew "Test" Martin coming into TNA, he announced over his Myspace page just the other day to "make sure you catch TNA's new years eve special! Something very special is going down!"
There were many times when management decided to take the titles off of The Naturals, but it seems like almost last minute they always changed their mind, as Stevens and Douglas impressed them time and time again. With Jimmy Hart leading them and their reign already lasting so long they've forgotten what failure tastes like. They now have one of the longest NWA tag team title run in history holding onto the belts sense July 7, 2004, and they've made it clear that they plan to make history by keeping them for a long time to come.
Julio Dinero who was kicked out of the Nest by Raven, and released by TNA. When CM Punk and Alexis turned their back on Raven to be on their own, Aries joined them. Father James Mitchell offered his services but was turned down as The Gathering didn't want anyone to "lead" them.
Though in ROH Aries had just taken over, and Shelley had been kicked out, in TNA things were different. Aries was not a part of this incarnation of Generation Next, and Alex Shelley and Roderick Strong were together as a force still. Jack Evans was not a part of this version of Generation Next as TNA was apposed to bringing him in, and would rather keep Generation Next as a tag team, and not a full blown stable.
Jerry Lynn took a backseat role when suffered a shoulder injury in 2004. He's taking time off of wrestling for now, working as a road agent, and talent scout, but still plays a on screen role in TNA as a part of the championship committee.
Russo decided to stay with the company after losing his spot as Director of Authority (see below), and was given a spot on the new Championship Committee.
Dusty Rhodes never became the Director of Authority, but came into the company anyway as a part of the Championship Committee.
One of the biggest changes here is Randy Savage as the Director of Authority! After his return match at Turning Point everyone, including Savage himself, wanted him to stick around TNA, but Savage wasn't up for a wrestling role in the company, so he was given the spot of Director of Authority as Vince Russo was forced to step down.
Changes are coming to TNA, and they're coming in fast. It's time, now or never to reach for the stars!
