Dave Lagana or Dave Sahadi. Also early Impact rating info is out and ratings are down quite a bit from last week. Final should be out within the hour.
Dave Lagana, writer and producer for Impact Wrestling.

I love how the Austin Aries and Samoa Joe feud started yesterday because Aries spritzed water on him.
The way you can see the water hitting Joe in this gif reminds me of a promo a while back when Eric Young was looking for a challenger for his tv title and came across Matt Morgan. Morgan cut a promo standing about a foot away from Eric but all I could see was the constant spray of spit picked up by TNA's cameras coming from Morgan as he cut that promo....I wish there was a gif of that.

If you saw that woman on tv and didn't know it was Hogan's daughter you would think it was a transvestite. Looks like a fucking dude dressed up as a woman.

NO BROKE PLZ
I doubt the one on the left is a photoshop, probably a picture from years ago out of the promo materials for Hogan Knows Best
David Sahadi, the guy that runs the production truck for their broadcasts.

I just gotta wonder what the payoff to the AJ/Dixie angle will be. If it comes out this was all for a surprise party that is lame. The call did not sound sexual at all. Sounded like they were planning a surprise party for Serg.
I think it was just bad acting in that phone call. The pictures and videos look like more than a surprise party. I could be wrong though.
what went wrong
She's a Hogan.

Brooke looks A LOT like Linda Hogan now but still a lot like Hulk.
Weird.. its almost as if she was there kid or something.

She's transforming into her mother right before our very eyes.

I hope it is and it actually comes out they did have sex just to see what happens. Would Dixie actually allow herself to be put in that light on television though?

Impact rating 0.9, just like I predicted last night. Ouch, but expected due to the new timeslot. All the hype meant nothing.
Those pictures Bobo posted sum up the "Gut Check" stuff perfectly in a few seconds.
I really like the concept, but the execution is horrible. It seems like they want a Tough Enough type show within their show to make it seem like the matches are a legit competition, which is the right idea. But they defeat that purpose by always talking about a guy's look & his gimmick.
On 3 separate occasions last night, Taz talked about Ryan's gimmick and him staying in character. That shit has no business ever being discussed on TV and is one of the main problems with the business over the last decade (guys exposing the business on the air because they're "going out there and shooting"). Seriously, if you're presenting something as real, why the fuck would you constantly bring up that the guy is playing a character? Someone should've lost their damn job over that train wreck last night.

This week doesn't really matter, it's next week and the weeks after that which matter.

Joey Ryan is amazing too.
I need to get his 'Legalize Sleeze' shirt.

I think one of the problems with the angle is that AJ seems like he is not comfortable doing this. This then brings it down and Dixie is not a good actress either.
I just hope the suprise party is not the big swerve.

The first live summer edition of TNA Impact scored a 0.89 rating in a new timeslot one hour earlier, down 12 percent compared to last week's rating. Impact was down 17 percent compared to the yearly average.
-- Impact averaged 1.29 million viewers, a drop of 10 percent in viewership from last week and the lowest average viewing audience of the year. Impact was down 200,000 viewers (13 percent) compared to the yearly average.
It was the first time Impact viewership was below the 1.3 million mark since Thanksgiving 2010. For non-holidays, it was the first time in nearly two years dating back to July 1, 2010.
-- The one positive for Impact is the demographic ratings did not drop off like the overall rating and average viewership. Impact was at the low-end of the yearly average before Thursday's show, and Thursday's show held up okay with slight drops in key male demographics and overall adults.

If you don't have a nielson box it doesn't matter.
Don't worry Bobo, at least TNA does better ratings than the WWE (without the re-runs) in the UK.

Nope, just I know Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk lost 400,000 viewers in the top of the hour segment which is beyond horrible and Del Rio vs Santino did the 2nd worst quarter hour since 95.
What's the worst?

A Kofi vs Swagger match I believe from Sep 12th Raw last year.
I dislike Punk now, but it's amazing how much of a ratings killer he is. The WWE neutered him to the point that he doesn't attract an older crowd, but he's not as appealing to kids as Cena.
That's just stupid by the WWE, Punk is not a 'kid-friendly' character, he should be an anti-hero, either heel or face, he always was one, in ECW, in the SES, in Nexus and until last summer. They can use Sheamus as a kiddie magnet, let Punk be an anti-hero character.
Perspicacity
Banned
Punk doesn't need to be a character, the most interesting thing about him was that he was a human being.
Why's that?
Why's that?
Good.
Shit like that is why no one can take TNA serious.
Then they give a job to that other clown though
Hmm, the real Phil Brooks could be an interesting heel, but just like watching any other person, for amusement only.
Punk is Brooks' character, and has had many facets in WWE.

Everyone in TNA is getting so much hate on twitter about the Joey Ryan thing lol. Taz brokedown, Hulk Hogan even responded to it. Hilarious.
