Big brother 16 contestant gets TNA try out

20140814-134643.jpg

I may not be an avid follower of TNA but I am indeed a avid follower of the reality based completion show Big Brother. Big brother is follows 16 individuals on a weekly basis in where they’re all put under one roof. Each week they have to compete in things such as the “HOH completion” and “power of veto competition” it’s a show where alliances are made & lots of betrayal happens, possibly even some showmance all in the name of winning $50,000.

So why am I talking about a reality tv show on a wrestling site you ask? Well Big brother is currently in its 16 seasons and one of its contestants who got eliminated in the 2nd week Paola “the DJ who loves to party” has had a try out match for TNA. (She can be seen above with fellow TNA worlers)

Again I don’t watch TNA but I think it’s kind of cool that someone I have knowledge of because of a show I enjoy may be joining the company. I just hope she’s there for the right reasons and not just to add a bullet point to her resume cuz I can’t stand when people do that.
