Backstage News on TNA's "Action Never Ends" Campaign

[Dale]

- TNA talents were told at Thursday's talent meeting that the new "Action Never Ends" campaign is their opportunity to flesh out their own characters and get them more over than TNA can with it's two hour show. The idea is that everyone on the roster will be encouraged to send officials videos of themselves on the road, at home, reacting to things that are going on in the company. Some of those videos will be posted on the TNA website and social media while others will be edited into Impact and Xplosion. It was presented as a way for the talents to really dig in deep and create characters for themselves and as a way for everyone to get an extra spotlight on their work.

I don't mind this and could have it's benefits. I remember a report like this or similar to it being brought up a long time ago though and if I remember rightly, the talents were supposedly not happy as it was either something to do with it being intrusive or felt it completely break kayfabe.

"We don't have the writers to be able to get you over, so just use social media"

Because people follow wrestlers they don't like...

I kind of see this backfiring kind of hard.

 

[Chris]

I just see this being dropped in like a month.

I love a chance to laugh at TNA but this isn't one of those times, they are always throwing new shit up the wall and I think they should be applauded for that.

Not sure people will be flocking to their site to see AJ Styles at church however. Show Angle shooting up with his steds and meds and you might get hits.

 

[Chris]

Yeah, WWE completely stole the showing matches during commercials thing, TNA did that a few months earlier. They do come up with a lot of new shit, it's just usually bad and they don't ever let it flesh out, they always up on it.

 

[Keith]

Its not a terrible idea, but like others I don't see it lasting or producing many benefits. Also I just think its much better just for talent to go to management in person and dicuss these things.
