The Rainbow Express debuted on TNA. They were a homosexual gimmick tag team that were booked as heels, due to the TNA target audience at the time (southern folk). This results in face commentator Don West making awkward homophobic remarks, whilst heel commentator Ed Ferrara sounded educated and tolerant. Keep in mind that the Rainbow Express was introduced AFTER the cousin fucking Dupps which the commentators didn't seem to mind much.
TNA had a phase of terrible penis-related gimmicks; Richard and Rod, The Johnsons, were literally a pair of wrestling cocks, managed by Mortimer Plumtree; whilst The Hot Shots (first appearances in the company for future Raven follower Cassidy Riley and future Natural Chase Stevens) wrestled with giant bulges in their pants (really tubesocks jammed into their tights). The latter team cut a promo that consisted solely of the following: "We're pricks. We are proud. And we are protruding!" then proceeded to grab their nether regions.
The first month of weekly PPVs featured a midget match on nearly every show. The short lived midget division consisted of a number of midgets including: Puppet, a psychotic dwarf who threatened to kill other midgets and also was infamously shown masturbating in a trash can before asking backstage interviewer Goldylocks if she wanted some of his "porridge"; Meatball, an obese midget; and Teo, an "extreme" midget who once tried to force his way onto one of the cagedancers.
