In effort to import foreign talent and beef up the Tag Division, Russo hires Siamese Sumo Twins. Controversy Creates Cash as the Special Olympics push to ban the twins, feeling they are being degrated because every match is considered a "Handicap Match."
The negative press gives TNA the extra publicity needed to beat Raw in the ratings.
The twins will later turn heel and form a stable with Samoa Joe called "Fat Edge Society." In a twist of irony, TNA will later declare bankrupcy as catering bills get out of hand.
