Comprehensive List of TNA Mentions in Pop Culture

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Speculation may still be running wild, brutha, but the word around town is that TNA will soon be dead, jack! So what better time than now to make a comprehensive list of TNA references in pop culture. TNA may noty exactly be WWE, but they still have gotten mentions here and there. Some that come to mind...

*TNA wrestlers appear in the 2003 Chris Rock movie Head of State with BG James of al people as the company's top champ.

*TNA is brought up on the Howard Stern Show fairly often because Eric the Actor is a pretty big fan and has even worked with the company (no doubt an attempt to cash in on Howard Stern's name).

They were not aiming to crack hollywood with shitty films nobody watches like WWE is though, so of course they won't get any mentions.

[Slammy Award-Winning Cannibal]

Mick Foley's Countdown to Lockdown advertised by Michael Cole on Raw.

Opie & Anthony goofed on TNA, Abyss during I think the stupid painting feud with Foley, and an awkward EC3 vs referee angle.

[hossfan]

Plenty of TNA references in sports media when they hired Pacman Jones.

[Sephiroth]

Didn't House watch Impact on one episode?

[Deleted]

Unfortunately I really thought this topic was a joke because if someone put a gun to my head and told me to name TNA references in pop culture, all I could do is cry and get right with God.

He did and it helped him figure out the case

Rap group Army of the Pharaohs references Kurt Angle in the song Digital War on their new album but I'm pretty sure even after however long it's been they're referencing WWE's Kurt Angle.

Also he said one time he could smell what The Rock was cooking. House, quite a mark

and the match he was watching I think was Christian Cage vs Abyss Six Sides of Steel. I think he related a cage back in some way to the patient

Was the case trying to figure out TNA's booking?

Nope about excess aggression IRC it was an Abyss match

[Deleted]

The time spike advertised TNA during WWE's last Raw on Spike. Trump vs. Rosie

So the patient was the one trying to figure out TNA's booking-that is enough to make anyone flip out

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Kurt Angle wrestled a guy from One Direction....tna was never mentioned

[thetower52]

Low ki me made a TNA pun on season two of NXT if that counts

[Deleted]

Not what OP was going for at all but the TNA chant at December to Dismember, an event which somewhat comically ended with Lashley as Champ by the end of the show.

This kind of thing is why I thought to make this thread? I doubt TNA have been metioned in too many big budget Hollywood movies (Springbreakers notwithstanding), but I figured they'd pop up in other places like on underground rap albums and the like. Any help chazraps ?

[Deleted]

At the first ECW One Night Stand, Joey Styles called Kid Kash "Mr. TNA Total Nonstop Attitude".

For the second ONS, Angle challenged anyone from a four, six, or eight sided ring. He went to TNA a few months later.

Oh, and I once saw a straight to video movie at the store that said "Featuring Impact Wrestling's Kurt Angle" or something like that.




Man, TNA really set the world on fire, folks.

I don't think TNA was mentioned in Spring Breakers. It just featured Jeff Jarrett as Christian school teacher, and I believe Jarrett was no longer with TNA at that point.
