Quoted from taimapedia's LOLTNA history article:
>In December 2004, WWE was in Orlando filming the Royal Rumble 2005 commercial. Being in town, a few TNA stars and a camera crew head over to the WWE filming set to offer a "welcome wagon". However, they were kicked off the set. In response, this is turned into a "storyline" where the footage of what went down was hyped to be shown at the PPV in an attempt to make WWE look bad. To hype up how overly scandalous this supposed footage was, a fake Vince McMahon and Triple H begin roaming the iMPACT zone to find and destroy the footage while "firing" several TNA employees in the process. The footage actually ended up making TNA look much worse. It starred BG James, Shane Douglas, Ron Killings, Konnan, Abyss and Traci Brooks walking onto the set with balloons and cookies, acting like obnoxious buffoons. After continuously asking if they could speak to Vince McMahon, uninvitedly eating food off the buffet table and putting Eddie Guerrero, Randy Orton and an unmasked Rey Mysterio on camera, they're left offended and surprised when WWE officials tell them to leave. After the footage was aired, Tenay and West act completely baffled on commentary as to why WWE would do such a thing. Nobody cared.
