TNA Does Drug Testing, Update on Ink Inc’s Valet, iMPACT Notes

Posted by Marc Middleton on Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

- TNA did another round of drug testing before tonight’s iMPACT tapings in Orlando. Wrestlers received physicals, had blood work done and drug screening.

- The dark match before tonight’s iMPACT tapings saw Shannon Moore and Christina Von Eerie defeat the team of Becky Bayless and Okada. As noted before, Von Eerie was rumored to be the new valet for Ink Inc. Bayless was repackaged as Cookie and paired up with Robbie T, doing a Jersey Shore gimmick. No word yet if Bayless wrestled as the Cookie character at tonight’s tapings.

- A few TNA regulars were absent from Monday’s iMPACT tapings. Notable names who weren’t there include Rob Terry, Hernandez, Sarita, Lacey Von Erich as well as Knockout Tag Champions Taylor Wilde and Hamada. At last word, these stars weren’t at Tuesday’s tapings either. No word yet on why they weren’t there but it could be a cost-cutting measure.

    TNA, doing Drug Tests? Is this Bizzaro TNA where they’ve beat WWE? Last I checked they had barely anything for Drug Tests.

    My question is, are they actually going to follow through if someone comes up positive or is it just something they’ll shake their finger at?

    I guess the drug tests explains why Rob Terry and others weren’t at the tapings. Can’t fail the test if you are not there to take it.

    Yeah strange Rob Terry isnt there the exact day there doing tests hmmmmmm.Bet Jeff will get free pass either way. TNA superstars could murder someone & keep their jobs because Dixie hasnt gt the guts to fire anyone. just as long as the superstars are happy thts all tht matters.LOL

    Dixie wouldn’t fired anybody if they failed a drug test. Because RVD, Hardy, and Angle would be fired.

    If this is true about drug testing, then I guess half of TNA’s roster will be gone soon. Isn’t that one of the few reasons anyone actually decides to sign with TNA. Last I checked the reasons a person would sign with TNA are, -Vince doesn’t like them and they need a job, -They prefer drugs over WWE big money contracts, -Don’t like to travel and -Are afraid to perform in front of several thousand actual fans but rather in front of a few hundred “cast members”.

    @burt last time i checked samoa joe and amazing red never wrestle for vince mcmahon thank god. because they can do chops in corner in tna and they can get title shots and get pushes they earned and deserved. red would be jobber in wwe because vince likes roid steriod freaks like cena and roid freak batista.
