Word has spread around the Internet that Eric Lynch, known to Howard Stern fans worldwide as “Eric The Midget” (though Mr. Lynch prefers “Eric The Actor”) may soon be the newest member of the TNA Wrestling family.
Multiple dirt sheets have picked-up the story (citing PWInsider.com) that Eric will be joining TNA Today, the organization’s web series, as a regular pay-per-view analyst.
Reports have also cited that Eric himself confirmed the news on his official Twitter account, though I haven’t seen anything to that effect as of this evening. However, this tweet is still up:
Last night I had a great dinner at Mr. Lucky’s at The Hard Rock with TNA Wrestling’s

The TNA announcers were on hand for the Howard Stern Block Party, held at The Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas. Jeremy Borash had this to say on Saturday:
Will be making an announcement with
@erictheactor11 at the Block Party w/ the@howardstern crew tonight at the Hard Rock in Vegas.— Jeremy Borash (@JeremyBorash) August 25, 2012
So, we can now begin to connect the dots. Mr. Lynch met with Borash et al on Saturday, and there was an announcement to be made. While TNA has not made an official announcement on their website, I think there’s a healthy dose of fire to go along with the smoke.
