VIDEO – Impact Zone Audience are UNPAID CAST MEMBERS

…as evidenced by this video post earlier this year.

Wow… just wow.

(2018 Update: After a long time coming, I finally found the video in question… on Youtube of all places. Hey, at least when the new owners of Impact needed cast members to fill the audience, they made an effort to pay the poor bastards. This is sad and one of many reasons why TNA under Dixie Carter was seen as incompetent.)

Hulk Hogan: The Next Billy Mays?

According to this article, Hulk Hogan is going back to be a TV pitchman and is aiming to be the next Billy Mays, who was the TV pitch-king until his untimely death in June 2009. Hogan used to do some commercials for Right Guard and the like many moons ago. And he did do an infomercial for his grill a while back.

You know what? I’m about the furthest thing from being a Hulkamaniac as you can get. I honestly don’t care for Hulk Hogan as far as his wrestling and acting careers go… but he could be a great pitchman actually. The next Billy Mays? I doubt it; Mays had that intense energy and charisma that made his informercials exciting and energetic. I doubt Hogan will be able to achieve that level, but he’s got the charisma to be almost as good and maybe make a name for himself in the field.

It’s worth a shot… if he sticks with it. And if he does, I wish him all the best.
