Report on TNA using planted fans at TV tapings

TNA brought in some planted fans for a recent Impact taping in Orlando at the Impact Zone. The planted fans, which were five young women dressed up as if they were going to a club, were positioned in the front row. They could be seen as recent as last week’s Impact show. This isn’t a new thing in wrestling as WCW used to hire models to sit in the front row with the idea being that it upgrades the look of the product. The only problem with this taking place in TNA is the planted fans clearly stand out from the fans who are normally at the TNA events every month.
