syxx2001 Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 Some news and notes from the TNA lockerroom… Bill Banks, who only recently joined the NWA:TNA production team, is getting universal praise for his work. One thing he has done is tape vignettes with interviews directly after matches on PPV. This has been viewed as a huge positive, as the interviews are better with the match and character still active in the mind of the wrestler as the segments are shot. TNA is hopeful to announce a video game deal in the next few weeks. credit: Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter I think if a game is made, it wont see the light of day.
Guest The Real Nosferatu Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 TNA video game...WOOO!!!! Maybe it will be as good as LoW 2 (thats a good thing)
BoboBrazil Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 This is really fucking old news. This was in the torch like a month ago.
Guest JumpinJackFlash Posted September 7, 2003 Report Posted September 7, 2003 Once that game comes out, I'm having AMW vs. Styles/Lynn which will be the best tag match in video game history.
Zack Malibu Posted September 7, 2003 Report Posted September 7, 2003 This topic title reads like "Bill Banks:The Video Game". I was like "Who would give a shit?" Comedy out of the way though, hopefully the game deal goes through.
Corey_Lazarus Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 I heard somewhere that a deal was struck up between TNA and EA Sports. If that's true, then fuck Def Jam 2. I want TNA! Either way, I hope a TNA game comes into fruition, because having LowKi kicking the hell out of ANYBODY at your command will own all.
Steviekick Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Who is Bill Blanks? The name sounds familliar, but I don't remember.
syxx2001 Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Posted September 8, 2003 He had a part in WCW or something. Maybe Im thinking of Bill Watts or something.
OldSchoolWrestling Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Copied this from some old web page, not sure if its the same guy or not: "The Powers That Be" are the collective name for Vince Russo, Ed Ferrera and Bill Banks, the creative team signed away from the WWF to replace the departing Eric Bischoff. In storyline terms, it mainly refers to ringleader and meglomaniacal head booker Vince Russo, who is only seen from the side as a menacing arm and a New York accent. Essentially, Vince Russo was given the reins of the WWF in May of 1997 after being the editor of the WWF magazine for a few years previous. He had been sitting in on booking meetings and progressively adding ideas, until finally the job was his entirely. Ed Ferrera was added in 1998 as a writing partner, and Bill Banks went with them as an associate when they left, although he had no significant input in the WWF during that period. Russo & Ferrera functioned as a team from 1997-1999.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Can they market guys who aren't under contract?
Steviekick Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Gotcha...i was pretty sure that Bill Banks had a backstage role, but no clue as to what it was.
Cran Da Maniac Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Who is Bill Blanks? The name sounds familliar, but I don't remember. Isn't Billy Blanks the guy who did Tae-bo? Sorry, had to get you on that typo.
Steviekick Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 it's ok. my bad. stupid tae bo guy makes me mad.
Styles Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 This topic title reads like "Bill Banks:The Video Game". I was like "Who would give a shit?" Comedy out of the way though, hopefully the game deal goes through. If Bill Banks worked for WWE though it would be no joke. He'd fit right in with the cast of characters like Coach, JR, Bischoff, Shane, etc. Who gives a shit exactly...
