Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Ed Ferrera is still around, or is this the history of such and such positions? Because I thought the guy was gone after like Week 7 or 8.
LucharesuFan619 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Posted June 24, 2004 It's past and present. I'll work out all that stuff and specify whether they're still with the company in a few days.
Guest The Last Free Voice Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 That looks good. I can't think of anyone to add.
Guest JacK Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Jerry Lynn is a backstage agent now? Weren't they trying to get rid of him a few months back? Wow, how times have changed. For the better it seems.
Placebo Effect Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Brad also acts as a publicist for TNA. Tim has the title "Office Representative" in the correspondence I've had with him.
Guest sean pyro Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Scott D'amore is the director of TNA's Wrestling Academy with Jerry Lynn, Glenn Gilberti and Bill Banks as trainers.
LucharesuFan619 Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 ONE CAMERAMAN??? Is that for real? No way. That's just the only one I know of. They have TONS more, obviously. Tenay just mentioned that guy's name during the AMW-XXX Cage Match. Scott D'amore is the director of TNA's Wrestling Academy with Jerry Lynn, Glenn Gilberti and Bill Banks as trainers. Brad also acts as a publicist for TNA. Tim has the title "Office Representative" in the correspondence I've had with him. Thanks to both of those additions. I'll be sure to add them in the next update. Are you sure Bill Banks is a trainer? Does he even know how to wrestle? I thought he was just strictly a backstage guy? Jerry Lynn is a backstage agent now? Weren't they trying to get rid of him a few months back? Wow, how times have changed. For the better it seems. Ya, really recently he became one. Like within the last month, I remember one of the big sites reporting it. Please - any more additions let me know of. I want to make this as comprehensive a list as possible. Any names I've forgotten - past or present? Any other jobs that a particular guy has that I didn't list? Also, I guess I'll plug it here - in the next week and a half, expect an indepth article on the Raven-Sabu feud. I'm talking really comprehensive. Why haven't they wrestled before yet? Were they ever scheduled to wrestle each other and the match was cancelled? Did they ever tag team together? What does TNA have to do to make this feud work? More importantly, what does each wrestler have to do to make sure it works? Why is it such an intriguing feud? And perhaps most importantly - does each guy still have it in them to deliver, when they're on the verge of turning 40? All that and more. Coming soon.
tominator89 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 DIXIE CARTER (a female): President of Panda Energy and TNA Entertainment, LLC Well, it's certainly good to know that Dixie Carter is a female. I know it's been heavily debated for years now.
razazteca Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 So who is to blame for getting a toy deal instead of national DVD distribution?
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 PRESIDENT: Dixie Carter (a female; Panda Energy employee) This made me laugh for some reason.
Styles Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Yeah, really, this is why TNA isn't on top, letting those darn females in charge!
2GOLD Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 I think he is laughing at the fact someone needed to list "A FEMALE", like it's an absolute shock or something. How many people here have meant a MAN named Dixie?
Guest MikeSC Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Well, SMW had Dixie Dynamite and he was a dude. -=Mike ...Any bets on Dixie being more bland than Linda McMahon?
Styles Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 JEFF HAMMOND (of NASCAR): Spanish Language Commentator OK, that's got to be a typo...
Guest MikeSC Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 JEFF HAMMOND (of NASCAR): Spanish Language Commentator OK, that's got to be a typo... Well, he doesn't seem to speak English a lot. -=Mike
2GOLD Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Well, SMW had Dixie Dynamite and he was a dude. -=Mike ...Any bets on Dixie being more bland than Linda McMahon? I refuse to believe anyone on the planet is more bland than Linda McMahon. Makes Al Gore seem like a frat boy. I seriously think the WWE should invest in dubbing Linda when she is supposed to be on the show.
LucharesuFan619 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Posted February 23, 2005 I think he is laughing at the fact someone needed to list "A FEMALE" Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for clarifying...
