Let's talk about the group of people that TNA brought in around 2010 in an attempt to...in an attempt to...to be honest I don't know why they were brought in.
A group of people, young women mostly, who were placed front and center in the stands during shows, forcing out people who've attended shows even for years. They were told to cheer for certain people and react in ways but apparently they needed cue cards or a sign to light up as they missed their cues almost all the time and could be seen not paying any attention to what was going on in the ring or started cheering wildly for the simplest of things.
Let's also remember the one who when was suppose to be intimidated by Bully Ray, saw the camera on her and turned and posed with a stupid grin on her face to try and get herself over.
Many who had went to The Impact Zone since it started left for good after that and could now be seen at Full Sail for NXT shows.

I'm just imagining Dixie being convinced that the plants would make TNA beat WWE in ratings.

Knowing now how passionate Bubba Ray Dudley is for the business and how smart he is (he even was an agent) I bet he cursed out every single tna executive after having to deal with that stupid plant.

Never forget. People were already taking off by the time the plants arrived, since this was after the Cast Members incident.

Heck with the way Impact is these days the plants would be one of the best things on Impact.

The fact that TNA felt the need that long into its run to use general audience plants, especially to pretty the show up a bit, is just so startlingly sad. That was more Panda money being spent on something that couldn't have possibly contributed anything to the show.

TNA should legit plant grass or trees in the arena. At least they would make something green grow.

TNA followed the old tactic WCW tried to do. They felt the audience was too ethnic, ugly, and unsavory for the tv cameras. So they hired models to put ringside and put people in the crowd to control reactions like cheering for Frank Andersson instead of silent bewilderment.

not just the fans though - how about the plants they tried to pass off as actual talent on the shows? Garett Bischoff? Lacey Von Erich? Jenna Morasca? These aren't real wrestlers!
