Waehrend Jeremy Borash immer seine Kolumne From the Inside veroeffentlicht,macht dies bob Ryder mit Notes from the Backstage.
Fans who have enjoyed the X Division should love tonight's broadcast. Tonight's show will include Sonny Siaki, EZ Money, AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn, Amazing Red, Jose Maximo, Joel Maximo, David Young, Jimmy Rave, Shark Boy, Jason Cross, Tony Mamaluke, Kid Kash, Ace Steel, Low Ki, Christopher Daniels, and Elix Skipper. With that many X wrestlers on the show, tonight's program has a chance to be one of our best.
Jason Cross has really made an impression in the short time he has been with TNA. His tryout match two weeks ago against Jimmy Rave resulted in his being brought back for a match on the pay-per-view last week against Tony Mamaluke. Although he came up on the losing end of that match, his "Crossfire" (Shooting star legdrop) is one of the most impressive moves we have seen in a long time. Mike Tenay and Don West did a great job setting the stage for the move, and it lived up to their buildup. It's the kind of spectacular move that is likely to end up with people hurting themselves trying to copy it.
Speaking of Tony Mamaluke, I thought he had his best match last week since coming to TNA. The match between Mamaluke and Cross wasn't a typical X Division match in that it slowed down enough to tell a good story. I especially enjoyed the fact that an X match ended with a submission, andhopefully we can have more matches like that in the future. I love the high flying daredevil style of the X Division, but it's nice to see some psychology mixed in with the high spots.
Jeff Jarrett has been busy racking up frequent flyer miles the last couple of weeks. Just a week after having a series of matches in Europe for the WWA, Jarrett was in Japan this past weekend for an appearance at a Zero One event.
The "Silent Auction" ended on Sunday and we're starting to receive payments from several of the winning bidders. Thanks to everyone who made the auction a great success.
The old saying "expect the unexpected" really holds true in TNA. Fans are still buzzing about Vince Russo's surprise appearance a few weeks back, and Roddy Piper caught everyone by surprise with his involvement on the December 4 program. You never really know who or what to expect next, and tonight's program is one fans won't want to miss.
Several TNA stars are appearing on a big show this Saturday night in Lafayette LA. The AAW show includes appearances by Low Ki, Elix Skipper, Cassidy O'Reilly, Jorge Estrada, Sonny Siaki, David Young, AJ Styles, Malice, and Bob & Scott Armstrong. This is the second show the AAW has run in Lafayette and the first show was a tremendous success drawing approximately 800 fans. More information is available at http://www.allaccesswrestling.com.

We're taking a two week break for the holidays. There's no show on Christmas or New Years Day, but we'll be back on January 8 for our first show of 2003. Tonight's show is going to end 2002 with a bang, and we're already working on a special show to get things back up and running on January 8.
I hope everyone has a fantastic Holiday Season. We appreciate all of the support we have received from all of our great fans this year and we are looking forward to a bigger and better 2003!
