Rumor Mill - Talent Meeting Held Before iMPACT! Tapings

During a talent meeting held at the TNA Impact Zone in Orlando, FL, Dixie Carter addressed the talent roster and stressed that the wrestlers need to tighten up their in-ring work. She said the wrestlers are essentially spoiled because they benefit from a taped show that can be edited. This isn't the first time that Carter has commented on the need to tighten up the in-ring work, and there's always a mixed reaction from the wrestlers to such comments.

"Guys were fuming," said one TNA source regarding Carter's comments. Carter also hyped the success of the TNA Xplosion television show in Australia, and raved about the Victory Road pay-per-view on Sunday. There was no mention of Paul Heyman during the meeting.

Ric Flair Bout to be Pinnacle of Jay Lethal's Life

Jay Lethal is 25 years old, not married, and without kids. So he can say with confidence that Sunday's match against Ric Flair at TNA Victory Road will be the greatest night of his life.
