TNA Wrestling News: David Eckstein to Appear at Turning Point

WWE has attracted random professional athletes in the past. Curtis Granderson of the Tigers, for example, attended an event a few weeks ago.

Now, it looks like TNA Wrestling has trumped WWE in this one area, considering the fact it's bringing in a baseball player whose team knocked Granderson's off in this year's World Series.

David Eckstein, the MVP of that Series, will be the special guest this Sunday at Turning Point. His exact role is unknown at this time.

We see this as a smart move by TNA. Mainstream attention, especially with such a well-respected athlete, can only help. After all, you've seen what kind of publicity Kevin Federline has brought to the WWE.

And he's not respected at all.
