Lots of Backstage News and Notes from Last Night’s iMPACT

- TNA has released several new Hulk Hogan t-shirts.

- Angelina Love was not backstage at last night’s iMPACT. The Young Bucks were there and will be working tonight’s tapings.

- It was said to be obvious at last night’s iMPACT taping that a new guard was in charge. There is fear among some TNA talents about their job status now. The feeling among some is that with the new established stars coming in, the old crew that has been there may be overlooked or released.

- It was extremely cold in the TNA locker rooms last night because there is no heat in them.

- There were at least a few hundred fans turned away from last night’s iMPACT, including a vocal group of fans from Bubba the Love Sponge’s show. Fans who had passes that were supposed to guarantee them entry were turned away. This explains Bubba’s message on Twitter that we posted earlier.

- The script that Eric Bischoff ripped up in the ring last night was legit. Security began taking the sheets away from fans during the commercial break.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if hogan fired a guy like eric young to make room for waltman which is complete shit but thats just the way he operates I hope foley comes back to wwe cause hogan flair and bichoff will run him into the ground again

    Next thing that will happen is sting will come from the rafters to take out hall, nash, and waltman. It really feels like WCW all over again.

    TNA will end up like WCW. Its going to be based on Hogan and all the washed up old guys while the young talent wastes away. Eventually the young ignored talent goes to WWE.

    hopefully tna is only using some of this old wcw and wwe stuff to help bring in some old fans. I feel like there is definantly some real potential in the company, but only if they present something us fans have never seen before. So the only thing we can do is hope that when Hogan was saying that these guys were going to get a new opportunity, he was serious. In the next 6 months, they should have Hall Nash, Waltman, and steiner form a group that is like a hybrid of the nwo and main event mafia. they should be given some good tv time because they are entertaining, in small to medium doses. However, they should ultimately be used to put over the new guys, for example, matt morgan and hernandez.

    ah hell no !!!!!, it wcw all ever agaian , old washed up wrestlers return, kick out the new guys, or less attenetion for the new wrestlers!!

    Too bad they can’t bring in Stone Cold Steve Austin to raise hell on TNA and put Hulk Hogan in his place, Hogan needs to lace his boots and wrestle guys like AJ Styles or Angle or other top new young wreslters.

    Or Have Sting stop HOgan like before and restore everything before Hogan ruins it

    TNA has a lot going for it. I hope the oWo, old world order, doesn’t mess it up. You can’t get young guys over if they don’t have tv time because the old guys are talking. They’ve already made Jarrett look weak and he still owns part of the company and they burried Foley and the whole share holder storyline. This could get really bad if Hogan’s idea of being like Vince is trying to act like God on tv.

    Why would it be cold? It’s in Florida where the weather is nice all year. Try coming up to Canada or the northern part of the U.S. right now… Then you’ll really know what cold is.
