It was a fun Saturday afternoon at the TNA Wrestling Fan Interactive Event where hundreds of wrestling fans came out to meet their favorite stars.  I managed to get a couple interviews with some of the talent: The Motor City Machine Guns, The Rock n' Rave Infection (w/Christy Hemme) and Consequences Creed.

[Special thanks to Steven Godfrey and the PR Dept. of TNA Wrestling for all their help.]

MotorCity MachineGun Alex Shelley administers the G.N.A.T. (Geek Nerd Analysis Test) to his partner Chris Sabin.

The Rock n' Rave Infection talks to me about their fellow wrestlers, the creative process in wrestling and who they'd like to work with. Now this was FUN...X-Division Contender Consequences Creed takes the G.N.A.T. and really gets into it, truly thinking over his answers.  He even liked a catch phrase I suggested!

After discussing the nature of the current goings-on within TNA Wrestling with Jeff Jarrett, I was able to sit down with TNA Superstar and former Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle. Angle was open and frank about what he was expecting at Bound For Glory IV and gave a 'shoot' interview, saying what he truly thought about Jeff Jarrett and their upcoming match.  Kurt also gave his opinion about 'gimmick matches', the blurring of fiction and reality in TNA's television storylines, and what Jeff Jarrett should expect in their match at Bound for Glory.

In town to promote TNA Wrestling's Pay-Per-View event Bound for Glory IV, TNA Knockout Christy Hemme sat down with me to talk about her experiences as a female wrestler; the difference between TNA and her previous employer, the WWE; and what it's like to see the real-life behind-the-scenes drama at TNA inspire the current storylines playing on television.

In just a few short days, TNA Wrestling's biggest pay-per-view of the year, Bound For Glory IV, will be held at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates.  In an effort to reach as many fans as they can, TNA Wrestling has given me access to wrestlers (see my previous posts which include interviews with TNA founder Jeff Jarrett and TNA wrestler and comic-book geek, Alex Shelley) and other talent.

Now I have an interview with the San Diego Studio Head of Midway Games, Scot Lane, who talks about the partnership between Midway and TNA in creating their newest wrestling title 'TNA iMPACT!'

Following up on my interview with TNA Wrestling founder Jeff Jarrett, I have a conversation with Alex Shelley of the Motor City Machine Guns tag team.  The MCMGs are part of the promotion’s ‘X-Division’, where wrestlers excel with spectacular moves in and above the ring.  Alex and his partner, Chris Sabin, will be part of the Steel Asylum Match at Bound For Glory IV, which will be held at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates this Sunday, October 12th.

It was cool to discuss the culture of the wrestling locker room with Alex, and he was pretty open and happy to satisfy my curiosity about why some wrestlers insist on being called by their ‘stage names.’  He even agreed to take the GNAT (Geek Nerd Analysis Test) to see if he was either a Geek or a Nerd, and I thought he had some pretty well thought out rationales as to why he made each pick:

When you talk to Jeff Jarrett, you learn that he is a man who has lived a remarkable life, has seen a lot of things and has been a lot of things.  He is a third generation wrestler with a storied pedigree; a multiple time champion who has held the WWF Intercontinental Championship (before the promotion changed its name to WWE), the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship, as well as the WCW World Championship.  He is the self-proclaimed 'King of the Mountain' and he is also the co-founder of TNA (Total Nonstop Action) Wrestling, a fledgling promotion that is testing its mettle against the more established and popular WWE.  Jarret himself will admit that the WWE has a '40 year' head start, which motivates him all the more in his role as promoter and pitch-man for his company.

As someone who is a fan of almost all things geeky, I will be covering the upcoming Total Nonstop Action Wrestling events coming to Chicago next week.  Wrestling geeks from all over Chicago and the Midwest will get a chance to see the TNA brand of pro-wrestling live and in person.

Because the folks at TNA are so cool and want to reach as many of their fans as they can, they have agreed to let me interview some of their talent, so I'm asking YOU, my readers, to suggest some questions to ask of TNA founder Jeff Jarrett, TNA Knockout Karen Angle, and the Motor City Machineguns.

If there's something you've always wanted to ask a pro wrestler, now's your chance.
