TNA Interested in JBL, Kevin Sullivan and Ed Ferrara Updates

Quote :

- Word on TNA recently firing creative writer Ed Ferrara is that it was done due to budget reasons. Ferrara’s departure means that more work is being put on Vince Russo.

- Former WCW star Kevin Sullivan hasn’t heard back from TNA lately in regards to him coming in to work on the creative team.

- TNA has had some interest in former WWE Superstar John Bradshaw Layfield. Dixie Carter has met with JBL in the past and they get along. Dixie has wanted to bring JBL in since he retired from WWE after WrestleMania last year. At one point, Dixie offered to help co-produce the Viper MMA group that JBL and Bruce Pritchard tried to run, which didn’t last long.

People close to JBL don’t expect him to come in. JBL declined an offer from TNA back in January when they were getting ready for the switch Monday nights.

I thought JBL retired due to his back injuries... I would think if he wanted to go back to the ring he would check WWE first.

He left the ring in 06 because of his back and then he retired because of his back. I think that if JBL wanted back in the wrestling business, he would want back with WWE and WWE would be glad to have him back.

I don't think that JBL would've been used to wrestle. He probably would've been used in an authority figure role or maybe at commentary with Mike Tenay, which would've been awesome.

I wish he was still doing commentary on SD. I think he was the best former wrestler turned annoucer, ever.
