A Look Ahead To The Next NWA:TNA Event
Due to the holiday season, the next NWA:TNA pay-per-view event will take place on January 8 from the NWA:TNA asylum in Nashville, Tennessee.
At present, there is only one confirmed match for the show. Current X-Division champion, Sonny Siaki will defend the championship against Jason Cross, who was victorious in the gauntlet for the number contender spot on the December 18 show.
If you did not see NWA:TNA's last show, Vince Russo destroyed the NWA:TNA set, so the start of the new year will see a new look for the NWA:TNA asylum.

Mick Foley Heading To NWA:TNA?
Mick Foley's WWE contract will expire in the near future, at this time NWA:TNA management are hoping to try and reach some sort of deal with Foley regarding making an appearance on an NWA:TNA event.
Even if the deal will just place Foley on one NWA:TNA event, many feel that his name would be a large boost and further the "anything can happen in NWA:TNA" slogan that the company has been using since the Roddy Piper incident.
