Powell's POV: The story also recaps the limited information that Jarrett has released about the promotion via his Twitter page. I can add that Jarrett has been telling people that he's targeting an October start and has spoken with multiple television networks. As for Keith, he was interesting in trying to purchase TNA at one time. While TNA quickly rejected rumors that Billy Corgan wanted to buy into or outright by the company, Dixie Carter has not disputed that Keith had interest.
