Although TNA's wrestlers had "the day off" after Bound for Glory on Monday with the Impact taping pushed back to Tuesday, in reality, it was anything but. After traveling from Michigan to Orlando, the TNA crew were working on a number of projects for the company's different promotional ends.
SpikeTV had a crew in Orlando, filming interviews and footage for TNA's primetime debut, which may have a new opening for the primetime debut on 11/16.
The staff of Midway Games were also in Orlando this past Monday, scanning TNA's roster for the upcoming debut TNA video game. TNA filmed a lot of crowd footage at last night's taping for the game as they specifically wanted to use the Impact Zone's crowd noise and chants for the game's audio. A lot of the wrestlers were shown AJ Styles' video game renderings for the first time and were blown away. The level of detail was said to be so precise you could see a scar on Styles' lip that he suffered from a Samoa Joe bout.
There was also a crew working on what was described to me as a "High Definition" project, although I don't have much in the way of details on it. Counting the Impact Zone, TNA was using four sound stages at once last Monday. So much for their day off!
The Jeff Jarrett interview that will air on Impact Thursday wasn't shown before the live crowd last night but was taped yesterday. It was said to have been a really serious, dark interview to continue his babyface turn. As we mentioned on the PWInsider.com Elite section last week, it's expected that a lot of the personal family problems Jarrett had gone through in the last year will be discussed.
There were a lot of Kevin Nash-Austin Starr-Alex Shelley vignettes taped backstage last night, so although they didn't wrestle on Impact, the storyline that started at Bound for Glory will continue over the next few weeks of TV.
