TNA Makes A Play For Jericho, Judas Mesias Update, Amazing Kong Signed

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

— TNA was hoping to get Chris Jericho to make a surprise debut at the first two-hour Impact show. They were in serious talks with him, but couldn’t get a deal done. Their belief is that Jericho is going to WWE.

— TNA newcomer Judas Mesias is currently suffering from sciatic nerve trauma and there is no time frame on when he’ll be back in TNA or in AAA where he’s their world champion. In Mexico they are saying that it will be three weeks before he can even start rehab on his ailment. Mesias’ absense is going to hurt a lot of plans in TNA because he was scheduled to do a long program with Abyss and he had just shot an angle with Sting.

— TNA sent out an alert through their mobile service on Friday stating that they have signed female wrestler Amazing Kong to a contract.
