As seen on Impact Wrestling this week, the big #August1Reveal was none other than MMA icon and UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz. Immediately after TNA went off the air, several pro wrestlers and pro wrestling personalities – many who have worked for TNA and Dixie Carter in the past – took to social media to blast the idea.
So I guess its not Davey. But it's Tito (a guy who doesn't know how to actually wrestle). Time to get excited about the vignettes he'll have

Yay, Tito Ortiz in TNA again. I'm reliving those wonderful days of New Japan Pro Wrestling. And that is meant as sarcasm.

All this does is promote the fight for Belatore between Tito and Rampage, does NOTHING for TNA, #impactwrestling
