TNA teased a big "emergency meeting" today with their board of directors, that apparently didn't include Dixie Carter or MVP. As we stated earlier, there is no actual meeting, and it's quite obviously just a continuation of the eternal power strugle angle in TNA.

In an episode of Impact Wrestling taped last week following last week's live show, Kurt Angle was appointed the new authority figure for the show. Whether he'll be called the "Director of Wrestling Operations" or some fancy new title, we don't know, but he'll be "in charge" for the foreseeable future.

The decision to put Angle in that role was made to get the most out of his current deal with the company, as he recently underwent surgery and will be out of action for the next few months. Instead of having Kurt at home, TNA made the decision to bring him back to television and have MVP return to his role as a regular part of the wrestling roster. As of now Angle is still working as a babyface, and through at least the July 24th edition of Impact – we'll know more after the Destination X taping tomorrow – there are no plans to turn him heel.

As for the aforementioned "emergency meeting", TNA is simply playing up the power switch on this week's episode of Impact.

So out with MVP, in with Angle, then, huh? I wasn't watching wrestling at all back when Angle was GMing SmackDown!, so how do you people think he'll fair being in-charge of Impact?

However, I do know that Vinne Mac fired him as GM of SmackDown! after faking an injury, and then put him to fight Eddie Guerrero in a Steel Cage match at that years Summer Slam.

Angle as GM was just a comedic thing. He was in a wheelchair for most of it, so it's hard to compare.

This is actually a clever move, really, keeping him on TV rather than just letting him sit at home and probably talk about WWE ever chance he gets <_<
