In case they get deleted, here they are in reverse chronological order:
Some of us got our eyes on a new wrestling company coming up in Florida and you know what, if it doesn't have @EBischoff's name, it's a draw 3 minutes ago via web
Some of us were paid better in 2006, no lies. 3 minutes ago via web
Hogan and Bischoff always play up how we're a happy family backstage. But that's far from it. We get paid shit. 3 minutes ago via web
And that's to provide true TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION WRESTLING. @TNADixie, this is a shoot brother. We want @EBischoff OUT! 4 minutes ago via web
I hate Bischoff. I don't hate Hogan, but I don't see him helping TNA, he's just taking money. So let us do what we do best... 5 minutes ago via web
So I thought this would be the best way to express my true thoughts. 5 minutes ago via web
TNA doesn't listen to any of us backstage. We're not allowed to step on anyones toes. 5 minutes ago via web
How I got this to work: Well, here's the truth and honestly the truth, I work for TNA and am a current employee. 6 minutes ago via web
This one was for the INTERNET WRESTLING COMMUNITY! Beat us if you can, survive if we let you! 12 minutes ago via web
But Bischoff actually linked to the guy (girl?) on his Twitter account ... which is just stupid beyond belief.
"All RAW is these days is a cheap version of Saturday Night Live, so if you wanna tune in to watch the amazing star power of Al Sharpton and Nancy O'Dell, go ahead! Who's gonna host next week, Big Bird? Wow, that's must-see TV!" - John Morrison (10/16/09 Smackdown!)
This happens before the big Thursday free PPV show where a number of us suspect Bischoff will go heel again as he refs the title match. That's a reason to be suspicious, right?
"To be the man, you gotta beat demands." -- The Lovely Mrs. Tracker
This is feeling more and more like a Vince Russo angle build.
# I can't get answers in private, so I've gone public anonymously. Simple as that. @TNADixie 11
Put this meeting live on TV too why don't you. Admit your own faults on TV, rather than telling us to step it up, because we have already. 18 minutes ago via web
My identity our identities will be revealed if @TNADixie doesn't call for a meeting and admits her mistakes. We will walk out. 18 minutes ago via web
EY is in the same category. Don't worry, EY is my boy. 24 minutes ago via web
What's the worst that will happen... pay us more to stay? We deserve more. 26 minutes ago via web
Without us, TNA is dead. We are their backbone. 26 minutes ago via web
What am I going to do next? I will walk out of TNA and find a job some place else if I am not treated fairly. So will others.
To paraphrase CRZ, "if it's on twitter it's a work". Too bad it wasn't for real as it would have been second best news ever behind Russo's departure from wrestling forever. The worst part is that if it is a work by creative itself, they are essentially admiting all that is wrong with TNA. How can a company mostly run by wrestling people be so clueless about putting on a wrestling show? I picture the management with their fingers in their ears babbling "la la la la la la" while the world tells them "you have alot of decent to really good and a few great wrestlers, just use them sensibly".
The way things are going, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ashton Kutcher showed up on TNA to tell wrestling fans we have all been the victims of a decade in the making edition of "Punk'd".

Creepy! You're the second person in 24 hours to use this phrase within earshot (eyeshot) of me.
I have nothing to add except that - well, and this: the fact that that Hogan account never had the "verified" badge should have set off your spidey sense in the first place. @Lagana is a great, entertaining guy to follow but I'm disappointed that he got "worked" into retweeting that account (which is how I first learned of it)
EDIT: ...unless, of course, he was in on it from the get go because he probably still has friends in Florida ehhhh never mind
EDIT 2: The obvious first (wrong) guess as to the man behind the account has to be WCW.com's Bill Banks, right? Ah ha ha.

Verified is great when it happens, but plenty of times they're slow or not happening. When I'm not sure, I check official websites for links (doesn't appear to be one) or I check for other legit people to talk to them or plug them (both Bischoff and Bubba did both).

So, supposedly if you put together the clues to their identity this person has tweeted out
Originally posted by cagesideseatshe was in the company in 2002, has held a title in the company, is not A.J. Styles, and is one of "about 14" wrestlers have an escape clause in their contracts that they can take advantage of in October.
It's either Jeff Jarrett, Abyss or James Storm. Which is pretty easy to narrow down to just James Storm. Except the only reason anyone cares about this account is the person using it was faking their identity before, and he might as well keep doing it now.
He's also not on house shows right now, but will be in September. Also, he's probably full of shit.

You know, Nancy/Woman never gets her just dues. She pulled off romantic angles with Rick Steiner, Kevin Sullivan and Chris Benoit. I don't think even Dustin Runnels or Mark Henry could do that. Now...
