TNA’s image for the Main Event Mafia is that they are the only faction in wrestling history in which every member has been a former world champion whilst in the stable. Other than Scott Steiner, who was only world champion in WCW, all of the members have held such titles in two organisations: Kurt Angle in WWE and TNA, Sting in WCW and TNA, Kevin Nash and Booker T in WWE and WCW. All the members of Evolution did wind up becoming world champions but Batista never won his first world title until after leaving the group.
TNA have hired Bill Goertel to be their new Director of Graphics. Goertel had worked in such a position in WWE for over a decade but left the company a few months ago. His work there earned him a good reputation, especially after he convinced them to switch from PCs to Macs for editing purposes. Dorian Roldan of AAA wanted to bring him in to work there but TNA managed to secure a deal first.
