New Japan Pro Wrestling's Simon Inoki told the Japanese media recently that he intends on bringing Kurt Angle back to the promotion very soon. Angle debuted for New Japan last weekend in Tokyo.

TNA's Slammiversary PPV will be held on Sunday, June 17. This is scheduled to be TNA's next PPV held outside of Orlando, Florida after the Lockdown PPV this April. Nashville seems like a likely candidate, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

During "Cold Pizza" on ESPN 2 yesterday morning, a clip was shown from the match with Team 3D and Sopranos star Steve Schirripa against LAX. ESPN plugged that the match would be airing on Thursday night (tonight) on Spike TV.
