Bryan Alvarez said on todays Wrestling Observer Live show that Dixie Carter was retweeting fake twitter accounts on Sunday night. Many accounts were recently created and there were many many accounts that were filled with TNA related retweets and very little tweets about anything else. Some of them are a few months old and have mostly TNA related tweets/retweets and TNA hashtage which would indicate that the accounts are being used to help them trend during Impact. The retweets were for accounts raving about how great the show was. Many of the accounts raved about Slammiversary being one of the greatest shows in years.
If this is true then it is truly a shame that they are spending money on twitter accounts and not spending money on paying their production staff. Dixie should know better since she used to run her own PR company many years ago.
Another thing that is interesting is that Bob Ryder's followers shot up from 5,000 followers just a couple of weeks ago to 70,000 followers this morning and now up to 71,600 followers right now. Is the point of all of this to convince Destination America that they have a bigger following than they really have? You can't fake advertising dollars and you can't fake ticket sales. ROH has sold more tickets this year than TNA has.

This furthers my theory that hardcore TNA fans aren't actually real people.

This furthers my theory that hardcore TNA fans aren't actually real people. I would genuinely be interested to know how many actual hardcore TNA fans are left after everything that's happened. When you strip away the ironic TNA fans, the ones who just watch Impact because they just want to see some form of wrestling, and the ones who watch to see how bad Impact is, how many dedicated fans can there be left? 100,000? Maybe 200,000? I'd love to see a survey or something. |

Dixie: How can we save ourselves? How can we show Destination America that we're big time?
Austin Aries: How about putting on good shows, cutting back expenses and using good storylines?
Dixie: Oh, poo that's hard.
Manik: What if we got a whole bunch of twitter followers?
Dixie: But won't that cost money?
Manik: We could get Tommy Dreamer to do it for a bucket of French Fires.
Tommy Dreamer: EXTRA SALT!

I don't believe this crock. Since when the hell would TNA have the money to pay for Twitter accounts?

This furthers my theory that hardcore TNA fans aren't actually real people. I legit believe this. Of course not everyone, but those overzealous tweets and a couple certain TNA fan sites that shall remain nameless are all f***ing plants. I'd legit say a member or two we've had here too, who shall also remain nameless. |

I don't believe this crock. Since when the hell would TNA have the money to pay for Twitter accounts? The remains of the advertising budget? Savings from only having craft services for a couple days a month? ...recouped contract monies? That one might not be a joke... |

This reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer chides Bart for "getting greedy" by changing his report card D into an A instead of a somewhat more believable B. |
