Backstage Notes concerning tonight's NWA TNA broadcast Submitted by Adam Martin on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 at 2:59 PM EST
- Bob Ryder has posted the following backstage notes concerning tonight's NWA TNA broadcast:
Changes have already been made to the NWA TNA setup. A big screen has been added once again for the live audience at the event so they won't miss backstage promos. The announcing team has been moved back to the ringside area and more camera angles have been added to help further the production of the product. Lighting has also been fixed for tonight's show. The look of the show in the smaller venue will continue to be a work in progress as the weeks go by.
Ryder mentions that Apolo make look a little tired tonight due to his busy schedule from moving to Orlando from Puerto Rico.
The Dupp's will not be appearing on the show tonight but will appear next week.
Steve Corino is expected to work for the NWA TNA very soon after he gets back from his tour in Japan.
Puppet, the "psycho midget", will be appearing on the show tonight and has been getting a good response from the crowd.
The next issue of the RAMPAGE magazine will feature a story on the NWA TNA, including an interview with Jeff Jarrett.
Response to NWA TNA merchandise has been very strong and if you are interested in purchasing any, CLICK HERE. A new A.J. Styles t-shirt will be released today at the Fairgrounds and should be available on the NWA TNA website in the next few days.
Despite A.J. Styles suffering a cut to his head during his X Title defense at the Ring of Honor show this past Saturday night, Styles is said to be just fine and 100% for tonight's show.
