-- To put the speculation to rest, Frankie "Kaz" Kazarian's apparent departure from TNA is indeed a storyline/angle. He's really not leaving TNA, despite the announcement they put up on the company website. To play up the storyline, his profile has been removed from the website.

-- Some people are indicating that TNA writer Vince Russo has picked up some power within the organization. If nothing else, there is definitely more of an internal vote of confidence in Russo at the moment.

-- The TNA website has added Daivari to the roster section, which should confirm him being an official member of the roster. However, there is no actual page on Daivari. They also added TNA Women's Knockout Champion Taylor Wilde to the roster page, but she too doesn't have an actual profile page yet.

-- TNA backstage announcer Lauren's TNA name is actually Lauren Thompson. The TNA website has added her first photos, which you can see at this link.
