Billy Corgan Surprises People In TNA, Backstage Note On TNA's Next Live Event, Visitor At Tapings

- Billy Corgan surprised a lot of people in TNA when he worked the recent set of tapings in Orlando. Many felt TNA hiring Corgan was a publicity stunt and that he would be working a figurehead position but they were surprised at how much time and effort he was putting into the job. Corgan received a lot of compliments on his interest in the product and put in the time to try and learn what he could, talking to talents and gibing his thoughts and suggestions. Corgan came into the tapings with a full knowledge of all characters and storylines.

- Simon Inoki, who runs the IGF promotion in Japan, was visiting at the last set of TNA tapings.

- We noted before that TNA has announced a live event for September 27th in York, PA, which is the first regular live event since 2014. The reaction in TNA to the announcement was notable because Dixie Carter originally told the talents that they would be running regular events beginning in late summer.
