Okay, I’m guilty – no blog updates in two months. You’d think I’m slacking off, again! Well, a lot has been going on, with my second book nearing completion, there’s actually something to talk about! (more…)
Saturday, January 28 2012 saw TNA return to Wembley Arena for their fourth “Maximum Impact” show… a show that was switched to a TV taping about three weeks beforehand. Two episodes of Impact, which will air in the first two weeks of February on Spike TV in the US and on Challenge TV in the UK.
