TNA News & Notes

[Fry]

- Wie nun bekannt wurde, soll sich nach dem Namenswechsel zu "Impact Wrestling" auch die Impact Zone, in welcher die TV-Shows abgehalten werden, verändert haben. So berichtet wrestlingnewsworld.com nämlich, dass diese ein komplett neues Design verpasst bekommen hat. Unter anderem soll der Entrance-Bereich neu gemacht worden sein und die Farbgestaltung der Halle ist nun in den Farben Blau und Gold gehalten.
Des Weiteren verriet ein Produzent von Spike TV, dass es ab nächster Woche ein komplett neues Intro geben werde, sowie auch neue Grafiken und einen neuen Theme Song.


- Kurt Angle hat sich in einem Interview mit der Busted Open Radio Show wie folgt zum Namenswechsel geäußert:

"Gone, yeah. Impact Wrestling is the new name of the company. I personally believe in it because when it comes down to it, you can’t take the word wrestling out of pro wrestling. Any storyline, or any feud...when you do that, it’s entertainment and you’re doing the storylines, but where does it ultimately end up? In the wrestling ring. At the PPV, the payoff. So how can you take wrestling out of pro wrestling….you can’t. That’s what they (the fans) buy tickets for. They buy tickets to watch guys wrestle. Not to be actors and entertain us. They pay to watch great wrestling."

Außerdem sprach er unter anderem noch über Chyna:

"She looked good. She looked healthy too. You know what, even though we only had 1,400 people there, the response that just came from those fans sent a big message to Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter, and myself as well, that Chyna will always be a huge name. It was cool because when they introduced her…people were like ‘holy, no way. Chyna. She’s coming. Oh my God,’ and then she came out and she looked good. It was like, she is back. It was one of the feel-good moments for Impact Wrestling.
I mean, Chyna is going to cause a ruckus in Impact Wrestling. I hope they have her wrestle the guys. Impact Wrestling is very pro-women as far as women wresting women. I remember when Awesome Kong (Kharma) came in and I told Jeff Jarrett I want to wrestle her right now. Let me put me over. He’s like ‘no, she’s going with women’. I believe Chyna should go with the guys eventually."


- Nachdem The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero auf seiner Website eine wichtige Ankündigung für den 13. Mai 2011 angekündigt hatte, verkündete er nun nach Ablauf des Countdown folgendes:

"My time has come, It's time to move on. I've served well. Hope none has been disappointed; hope my hard work has been Applauded & Appreciated."

Ob er tatsächlich TNA Wrestling verlassen wird, bleibt abzuwarten.
