All this and much more this Thursday night on Spike on the huge post-PPV “iMPACT!” broadcast!

News has just come in that a TNA roster member has been investigated by the Department for Homeland Security. Courtesy of TNAWrestling.com, we have the following information:

This past weekend, TNA Wrestling newcomer Sheik Abdul Bashir demanded that members of TNA’s Television Production staff travel to Houston, Texas, to film his latest rant on the United States. Footage from the video will air on tonight’s “iMPACT! on SpikeTV.

Bashir (dressed in traditional Iranian clothing and headdress) chose to speak out on America’s currently energy and oil problems, using Houston’s famous oil fields as the backdrop.

During the filming, a white truck pulled up, and someone identifying themselves as “security” told Bashir and the camera crew that they were not allowed to film in that area and they needed to leave immediately.

Bashir and the TNA staffers stopped filming and immediately left the area, but as they drove they were followed by two more white trucks. When they pulled off the road at a gas station, the white trucks surrounded their car. Two men in suits emerged, identified themselves as United States Homeland Security and demanded to know why Bashir and the TNA staffers were filming in front of the oil fields. They were also asked to hand over their identification and were not allowed to leave while, presumably, Homeland Security checked on their backgrounds.

After several minutes, Bashir and the TNA staffers were allowed to leave, but only after they were told their information was now on record and they might be contacted in the future regarding the incident.
