TNA star Mickie James hypes Impact in Jonesboro, Arkansas and reveals who has taken over the Knockouts promotional shoots

TNA star Mickie James spoke with Brandon Baxter on 101.7 Kiss FM Jonesboro, Arkansas and was asked what the feeling in TNA was now that the show is on the road. "It's so incredible. There's nothing like a live crowd because they're so into it. We loved the Impact Zone, but we're growing and expanding and it’s great to be able to visit the world and show people what Impact is all about."

She also revealed that Christy Hemme has virtually taken over the Knockouts photo-shoots: "She's pretty much taken over producing these shoots and videos and new commercials the Knockouts are in. Coming from her background, she was a model, she has all these ideas and she's very creative." You can hear the full interview at http://youtu.be/ZjkqpKHyRSM.

Shore's Slant: Mickie did a good job of putting the taping in Jonesboro over, and she and the female host had some more womanly banter, which probably helped sell female listeners more on the taping. More of these are scheduled to come out over the next few days as TNA pushes hard for their next taping.
