According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, TNA actually paid fans to attend their tapings last week. Impact was taped in a TV studio that had a 500 person capacity. Everyone in the crowd was paid 250-400 rupees (between $3.80 and $7.60) to attend the shows. Fans in attendance were also instructed how to react to wrestlers. Fans were told that heel wrestlers would enter from the left side of the stage and babyface wrestlers would enter from the right side. The audience also performed the wave during the tapings several times. Unfortunately, those waves were not spontaneous and were orchestrated by the M.C. at the tapings.
