Here are the answers to this week’s questions:
Q: I was wondering are their plans to start including a? type of "TNA Cribs" tour on the DVDs? I think it would be cool to see how guys like Christian Cage rolls (no pun intended)
Matthew Anderson

BILL BANKS: Were you hiding in the bushes at Christian Cage’s home in Tampa, Florida, last weekend by any chance? It’s funny you ask this, because I was at Cage’s home with a TNA camera crew to film “The Instant Classic” for his upcoming DVD release. In addition to an hour-long sitdown interview, we also did a “Cribs” tour of his house for the DVD. Cage had plenty to show of in his Tampa home, and to quote Alex Shelley, once I move out of my apartment I want a place like that. We’ll be posting more about the Cage DVD in the coming weeks here on the website.
Q: What is the championship that Tomko has been wearing lately on broadcasts?
Mike Rush
Horton, Kansas
BILL BANKS: The title that Tomko is wearing is the IWGP Tag Team Championship, which he currently holds in Japan along with Giant Bernard (the former A-Train). When he’s not competing for TNA, Tomko regularly competes in Japan defending the gold.
Q: Does TNA in Orlando have disability seating for people in wheelchairs?
Tim Harbottle from Australia
BILL BANKS: Yes, we do have disability seating at our “iMPACT!” and Pay-Per-View events at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. If you plan on attending, all you need to do is alert the Universal crowd officials before coming in.
Q: I was wondering since AJ Styles is the only other ?triple crown winner, did he ever hold every single title at the same time?
Brett Farrelly
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
BILL BANKS: No, AJ did not hold every championship at the same time. In fact, AJ has captured the TNA World, X and Tag Team Championships on multiple occasions, making him a three-time Triple Crown winner – a record which probably won’t be broken anytime soon. AJ achieved his first triple-crown during TNA’s first year, as he become the first X Champion, captured the Tag Team Title then defeated Jeff Jarrett and Raven for the World Title in June 2003.
Q: I was wondering when Kurt Angle won the IWGP title? Who did he beat for it?
Joe Springer
mrxmondayxnight@yahoo.com
BILL BANKS: Kurt Angle won Japan’s IWGP Championship in Tokyo in June from Brock Lesnar at the debut of Antonio Inoki's IGF promotion.
Q: A few months ago I saw some videos on YouTube of fans following Mr. Backlund around. He’s certainly a little out there. My question is, does he know people have been following and how does he feel about it?
Eric Gesmodo
Corona, New Mexico
BILL BANKS: Yes, Mr. Backlund is well aware of the recent videos on YouTube. I’ve spoken to Backlund about fans following him and he really doesn’t mind it. In fact, he encourages it as he hopes it will influence everyone to change their lifestyle and community (Backlund walks about daily to get exercise and pick up litter). One bit of advice, however – if you see Mr. Backlund and approach him for an autograph, don’t expect to get one unless you can name all the Presidents in order!
