TNA News: Mick Foley takes a jab at TNA house show attendance during a comical exchange with WWE star The Rock
May 23, 2011 - 10:35 AM

TNA star Mick Foley engaged in a humorous Twitter exchange with The Rock regarding their "I Quit" match. "In the famous 'I Quit' match, I handcuffed Mick Foley and bashed his face 14 (times) with a steel chair," Rock wrote. "He bled. I won."

Foley wrote the following in response to The Rock: "Maybe so, but two days later, I trapped The Rock under a pallet of beer kegs to win the WWE strap in an Empty Arena match a/k/a TNA house show." Follow Foley at Twitter.com/RealMickFoley.

he does look great as 90s sting.

Jarrett bloody loves bringing back old sting. He did it twice (?) in WCW and this must be at least the third time in TNA.

TNA will be taping Impact this Monday and Tuesday at Universal Studios in Orlando. Of late, Universal employees have been trying to crack down on fans using cellphones at the events in an attempt to prevent spoilers from getting out, going as far as to threaten them with a ban from Universal property if they believe the fan might be sending out information. This has actually gone on, off and on, for months, but when I've asked TNA sources about it, I am told it was a Universal issue, not something TNA decreed. Either way. that may be one of the saddest things I've ever heard.

As someone who has attended the TNA tapings in US though, this hardly surprises me <_<

Nothing will ever come of it. It's essentially unenforceable.

Totally. Best case scenario the spoilers get out a few minutes after they finish taping! If hollywood can't stop illegal cams getting out, how likely is it a wrestling company can prevent results of a few matches getting out?

I reckon spoilers are only a problem if the product is bad (i.e. where people see the show isn't worth watching). But if someone shows up or if people say "there was an excellent match" then the IWC are more likely to check it out. The only people reading spoilers are the hardcore IWC who will likely check it out regardless! It's the other 99% of fans watching the TV ya gotta please!

TNA will be starting up a brand new Fantasy game today where you draft wrestlers and get points based on what they do on the shows.

Given I loved WWE Fantasy, I can't wait for this. Might encourage me to watch shows as well...

Wonder does Robbie E realise that when most people see him they cant help but think of him as being a poor mans ZR?

I watched Impact in full last night (have zoned in and out for the past while) and I have to say they are improving their product. Hopefully it carries on, for a long time I got far more enjoyment out of TNA than the WWE so it is good to see a bit of a return to form. It felt less chaotic and rushed than it has for a long time. Far, far from perfect, but better nonetheless.

Lord TSC

Really? bah.

And apparently you have to pay to play as well. Well, it was a nice idea...

EDIT: Apparently you only pay to create leauges and do some other things, but there is a general leuage you can enter. Trying to sign up with a fake address though <_<
