It seems that Frank Trigg’s recent appearance with TNA Wrestling might not be a one-time thing after all. The promotion is currently attempting to land Trigg as a full-time color commentator.
From Rajah:
TNA Wrestling sent out a text alert to their TNA Mobile subscribers saying the company is in talks with Mixed Martial Arts star Frank Trigg to become a TNA announcer. Trigg is said to be a big wrestling fan and will be at Lockdown to add some insight and analysis on commentary during the Joe vs. Angle match.
Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe will be wrestling a MMA-related match at the company’s “Lockdown” pay-per-view this Sunday. Trigg was on TNA’s weekly Impact show last week to give his take on the match. UFC welterweight Marcus Davis also did a promo for the organization recently as well.
Touch of gloves to MMA Mania for the find.

I think Trigg considering an offer from TNA has more to do with his friendship with Kurt Angle and less to do with the fact that there may not be very many MMA organizations out there with an opening for a color-commentator. Just a thought.

God, this is such a ridiculously dumb idea for them. For him, he’ll just sap some more money out of them. But really, aren’t there enough fight companies out there for him to attempt to work for as opposed to a second rate pro-wrestling company?
