Report: Original Plans For 'The Network' + Backstage Update: Scott Steiner & TNA Wrestling

-- Mick Foley was not TNA's original choice for the role of Network Consultant. Company officials had a nineties star in mind for the role but couldn't come to terms on an agreement—it was not Bill Goldberg.

Scott Steiner has apparently resolved his financial dispute with TNA Wrestling as he appeared at Tuesday night's iMPACT! Wrestling taping in Orlando, Florida.

After building up a match between Matt Morgan and Scott Steiner for TNA Sacrifice, company officials stopped pushing it just prior to the event since "Big Poppa Pump" accepted a booking for an independent show in Port Colborne, Ontario on the same night.

He was also scheduled to participate in a TNA vs. AAA match at TripleManía XIX (Mr. Anderson and Scott Steiner vs. Jack Evans and Extreme Tiger), which takes place on Saturday, June 18 at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. However, his issues with TNA may prevent the booking from being finalized. AJ Styles has been discussed for the role in case Steiner is unable to compete.
