TJ Perkins, who wrestled as PUMA for a few appearances in TNA confirmed somewhat obvious news that TNA was is in the midst of signing or creating their own masked character. When a fan asked via twitter about his status with TNA, Perkins wrote the following:

"actually that status is still the same. I think it's really up to what they want to do with a masked character. Still waiting."

TNA Execs Al Snow and Bruce Prichard were seen scouting talent at a recent AAA Fusion TV taping. Perkins and Lince Dorado both had dark matches at recent TNA Impact Wrestling tapings.
