News on tonight's TNA Impact, Rob Van Dam's contract status and Kurt Angle

With the report that Rob Van Dam's contract has expired, speculation will be sure to follow on whether he will return to WWE. In my opinion, if he does return to WWE at some point, it won't be on a full-time basis.Kurt Angle seems to talk very nicely about Vince McMahon in this latest interview. Will Angle ever return to WWE before he retires? Time will tell. Angle has been in TNA since 2006.View the list »
Tonight, TNA Impact will make it's official move to doing Impact on the road. I think it's the right step for TNA to make as running the 'Impact Zone' was getting a bit stale.

In light to Impact tonight, Kurt Angle did an interview with Chicago Now regarding TNA, his time in WWE and more. Here is part of the piece:

Impact Wrestling is slowly becoming a more main stream show to the general audience. With the WWE always being the focal point how do you feel Impact Wrestling will be in 5 years and be comparable to the top company in professional wrestling?

It continues to grow no doubt worldwide. We are on the road for good and we are taking little steps to improve the overall product. I believe in 5 years if things are done right we could be competing with the monster (WWE). They have amazing programming and Vince McMahon has done wonders for his product. I have been in Impact Wrestling for 7 years and I thought by now we would be up in the ratings. I believe that’s going to take a little more time.
