TNA signs a new talent (photos available)

TNA has signed Nick Aldis, who worked as "Oblivion" on the UK American Gladiators, according to the TNA website. Dot Net reader Andrew Pippen reports: "In the last series in the UK, he was a baddy (heel), although he never quite pulled off the Mr. Nasty character.

Powell's POV: The Daily Star reported this news over the weekend. Aldis doesn't appear to be as muscular as most of the American Gladiators, but he has wrestling experience. His Wikipedia bio notes that he's been training to become a pro wrestler since he was 14 and he had his first match at age 16.
