TNA Wrestling Re-Signs Gia Miller
Brings Experience & Deep Wrestling Knowledge To Her Role As Lead Backstage Interviewer
TNA Wrestling confirmed today it has re-signed popular announcer Gia Miller to a multi-year contract.
The always-smiling announcer and backstage interviewer has worked in pro wrestling since 2019 and the past four years for TNA.
She sits ringside with Tom Hannifan, offering her unique insight to Xplosion matches, with a new episode of Xplosion premiering every Friday exclusively for TNA+ subscribers, then for free on YouTube the following Tuesday.
Getting To Know … Gia Miller
- Attended the same school and even played basketball on the same court as Britney Spears: Parklane Academy Pioneers.
- Worked two jobs while attending the University of Alabama. She managed a restaurant that was near the football stadium and on fraternity row. She also was a carpenter and welder for the theatre department and Brevard Opera Institute.
- Her mother, Shonda, intentionally gave her a name that would spell out G.L.A.M. with her initials. “Being glamorous is my birthright,” Gia said.
- As a kid, she rescued a duck from a neighbor because of improper care. “I nursed it back to health with a straw and, more importantly, spite,” she said.
- Has made many entrance and ring-gear pieces for the stars of TNA Wrestling, most notably the custom cowboy hats worn by Mickie James during The Last Rodeo run.
- Was one of the masked dancers during Mia Yim’s entrances during her most recent time in TNA.
- Admittedly is afraid of moderate heights. “Put me on a skyscraper? I’m totally cool. On top of a bar? Yeah, I’m fine. The roof of a house? The top of Ultimate X? Nope! Let’s just say, you can count me out of anything Jeff Hardy has ever done in his extremely rad career,” Gia said.
- “My family’s go-to game for fun was always charades. Sometimes, we played a special version of only wrestler’s entrances with no music,” she said.
- In 4th grade, she gave the entire school a solo pre-game performance during a rain delay by flopping around like Shamu in a puddle on the 50 yard-line. “I think my mom knew then that I was destined to be a performer,” Gia said.
- She lived in a haunted house. “The ghost and I were pretty tight,” Gia said.
- “If there was ever a survival situation in which I needed to quote an entire scene perfectly, I’m fully confident I would survive with ‘The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia’ scene from Designing Women,” Gia said.
- “It’s my dream to wear something that was worn by Dolly Parton,” Gia said. “She is truly my inspiration. I hope to one day be at least half of the kind, beautiful, intelligent and hilarious woman that she is. We could all benefit from being a little more like Dolly.”
