As announced yesterday by TNA Wrestling, Nic Nemeth will defend his TNA World Title against Jeff Hardy on a LIVE edition of TNA Impact airing July 30th on AMC.

On the latest edition of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone talked about freestyling his famous ‘Hulk Hogan you can go to hell’ line on the spot: “The line, and we’ve talked about it so many times on this podcast, the line was completely ad-libbed. Nobody fed me the line, I didn’t write down the line. And the reason is because, unlike what most people think, we had no idea what was going to happen. We had heard so many different things during the course of the day. ‘It’s going to be Hogan. Maybe Bret Hart. Maybe somebody else will come in and incredibly be the third man. Who knows? Shawn Michaels? Who knows?’ And so, when it happened I’m like fucking stunned in a way, because his name was bantered about as well. I’m stunned because I never thought Hogan would turn heel.”
