Here is the latest TNA news on contract updates and roster cuts, Impact Wrestling TV taping schedules, TNA being forced to hit the road outside of the Orlando Impact Zone, a Slammiversary PPV promo and more.
TNA Contract Updates - Who is In and Who is Out:
According to The Wrestling Observer, here are the latest updates on contracted and formerly contracted TNA talent:
"It certainly appears that Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are leaving imminently. Bill Behrens, who represents both, pushed that both are available for more indie dates. In the case of Daniels, it was noted that he would be available to appear on television shows, iPPV shows and DVDs. Wrestlers under TNA contracts who work indies are banned from doing all three."
The Observer goes on to state that Christopher Daniels' contract expires this week, while Kazarian's expires next month. Also, in their last match in TNA, Bad Influence (Daniels and Kazarian) lost to The BroMans for an upcoming pretaped TNA One Night Only event, despite being off of TV for weeks before that.
Meanwhile, Chris Sabin's TNA contract expires in a couple of weeks. Sabin hasn't been used at all since the Velvet Sky storyline wrapped up, which is a shame considering he was TNA World Heavyweight Champion not too long ago.
As for who has signed new TNA contracts, Robbie E, Rockstar Spud, James Storm and Gunner have been signed to new deals, so that counts for something. Also, Knux and his Family are coming to TNA, so that includes three additional signings right there.

TNA Tapings Schedule - Orlando, Bethlehem, New York City
TNA taped Impact Wrestling episodes for 5/1 and 5/8 yesterday, and they will film the 5/15 episode today. Then, they will film in Orlando from 5/7 to 5/9, which should take TNA through 6/12 for episodes.
After that, TNA will be forced to hit the road due to scheduling conflicts at Universal Studios. Reports The Observer:
"TNA will be taping two or three weeks of shows on 6/19 and 6/20 in Bethlehem, PA at the Sands Casino and Resort. Then they will tape 6/25, 6/26 and 6/27 at the Manhattan Center. The impression I have is they are doing more than four shows over those three days which should carry them through some point in August. While not announced, the tentative idea is to return to Manhattan for another set of tapings in August. The original plan was to do three sets of tapings, one every month."
