    * The Man Behind #AUGUST1WARNING Revealed: Huge Swerve Coming – NOT Who You Think It Is

  • “#August1Warning” Backstage News On Who The Mystery Man Is

    There has been a lot of discussion as to who the mystery man behind the “#August1Warning” video is since the clip first appeared on the official TNA YouTube channel. Several TNA stars have commented on the clip, and fans have been guessing who’s behind the video since Friday.

    Apparently one of the leading candidates is former TNA X-Division Champion Low Ki. According to one source, however, the former “Senshi” is absolutely not the voice behind the mysterious video clip.

    Another top guess is former NWA Champion Adam Pearce. Pearce has been making references to August 1st on his official Twitter account since the video first premiered. While it could be a coincidence that Pearce is simply feeding into, it’s certainly possible he could be the guy as his TNA Gutcheck played out in a way that would leave the door open for an organic return to TNA storylines.

    Another top choice is Jeff Jarrett. Apparently the only active TNA wrestler following the “#August1Warning” mystery man is the co-founder of TNA Impact Wrestling himself.

    Other guesses, for those interested, include Hardcore Holly and John Morrison.

    This Friday, on TNA Impact Wrestling, the guessing will cease, and the man will reveal himself. Until then, TNA promises to reveal a clue if the initial “#August1Warning” video reaches 250,000 views on their official YouTube channel.

  • How Much It Costs To Take Impact On The Road, Jarrett’s TNA Status, Spike TV Re-Branding

    – With TNA taking Impact Wrestling on the road, the company is taking on a great deal of additional expenses. Each set of Impact tapings on the road costs the company between $600,000 and $700,000. TNA running 26 tapings per year (one episode airing live and the following week’s show being taped right after), they’re looking at around $17 million per year.

    – Spike TV executives have been talking about re-branding the network, with more of an emphasis on reality television and programming for women. They are even considering changing the name of the network, if necessary. Despite these changes, TNA Impact is believed to be safe, since it’s one of their highest rated shows and it’s seen as a strong lead-in for Bellator MMA.

    – Jeff Jarrett’s relationship with TNA remains unclear after the TNA co-founder was not contacted to work the recent “One Night Only” TNA Heavyweight tournament. Jarrett was written out of the storylines back in 2011. He worked on the Ring Ka King promotion and another project for the SPEED channel, but neither went anywhere.
