BiffingtonClyro Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The even sadder thing about that gif is the fact that the skinny man in the lovely polo seems to be wearing a TNA VIP pass. Presumably meaning he's a plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably meaning he's a plant. TNA sell VIP packages that include backstage meet & greets as well as choosing where you want to sit in the arena. So yeah, that dude is one of these VIP folks, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Earl Hebners daughter, before she's now part of the show Brooke Hogan and there's a few models who are plants that are brought in.

Loki Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The answer is The Impact Zone. Â I wondered if anyone else noticed him! He looks like a character from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgi86 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Bully Ray will be making an appearance on Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment's new reality TV show on The CW network at same point during the show's season. He's featured in the season preview (around 0:27 and then again at 0:56): Â Â And who said being a member of Immortal doesn't have its benefits? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Cant blame them - its the only way to get good looking women (Or in fact, good looking people, full stop) to a wrestling show.

moofasa Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Taz and Tenay are right up there with the Impact Zone, in the 'Things that make TNA a bit shit' list. West wasn't great, but I'll echo that he's infinitely better than what we're getting from Taz.  There's something just not quite right about TNA that I always struggle to put my finger on, and I think the lack of a good commentary team might just be it. Even when they have ideas which sound good on paper they fall a bit flat for me in reality...nothing ever seems particularly momentous or important. The dubious production (particularly in the pre-Bischoff era) has never helped, but I think Mike Tenay in particular is one of the main culprits. He fills me with indifference.  The answer is The Impact Zone. Echo MDH's thoughts on Tenay his passion and excitement come across so faux and the Joey Tribiani "smell the fart" acting he does when they are trying to lay down the importance of something is lame and always looks the same. The answer is the impact zone but Tenay should not be the voice of the company you need some one with a more attractive and exciting personality. We have never known TNA without TeNAy.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 When did TNA start charging people to watch Impact tapings live? Always thought it was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diluted Dante Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 They can't charge for the use of the Impact Zone. The VIP pass gets you a meet and greet, rubbish like a photo and an signed poster, and allows you to queue jump. Â It's this thing basically.

pgi86 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Earlier today there was a 2-hour conference call with Dixie Carter and during it someone asked Dixie Carter if there was a possibility of a UK version of Ring Ka King. Her response? I quote: "We're working on something as we speak. Stay tuned. I hope something is announced soon." Â Interesting. Very interesting.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) I don't think there is a chance of that happening. For a million reasons. Wrestling promoters just say these things, like when she said she wanted a UK PPV just to pop the audience. Unlike in India, TNA is fairly big in the UK. Why would they want to do a UK exclusive thing, when they have a regular lucrative touring policy and consistently high television ratings over here? They'll surely want to continue to grow the TNA brand over here. Unlike in India, we are fed on American wrestling and American stars. We want TNA, not a UK promotion with a bunch of TNA wrestlers on it. I can't see the point in then even attempting it. At worst they'll confuse and over saturate the market. Â Also, who would back it? TNA aren't backing Ring Ka King and Challenge certainly aren't going to. Edited May 30, 2012 by The_BarbarIAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgi86 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) In the same conference call someone asked her about an Australian RKK and she flat out said that isn't happening but did tease a UK one so clearly she isn't just talking to pop whoever is on the other end of the line. There must be something there. The question is what exactly. "We're working on something" doesn't exactly clarify things nor does it suggest that it's a done deal. And hey, who knows, perhaps Alex Shane conned her into sponsoring an FWA TV deal with some TNA talent in the mix or something. lol I guess we'll just have to wait and see if something will come out of this. Either way, an intriguing statement there by Dixie. Certainly. Edited May 30, 2012 by pgi86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
