Re: Bound for glory attendance

I still dont understand why TNA goes to cities with weak crowds, why cant they go to wrestling hotbeds in order to have more fans in attendance and better reactions?
Maybe WWE has the arenas locked in those areas, maybe they are just stubborn,

They had like 4 fucking months to try and sell tickets. Don't come here with no weak ass excuse about what city it was in. This was also their biggest show of the year which is suppose to draw the hardcore fans.

I've seen anywhere from 2,500 to 3,000. Doesn't look like that from the pictures people posted.

Not more than 500. Sad really.

Re: Bound for glory attendance

Not sure if anyone posted this pic yet, but this is beyond sad. This is Tna's biggest ppv of the year, it's their Wrestlemania and half the arena is empty. Imagine being a Tna star and coming out the curtain to that, it's their biggest ppv of the year and the attendance is the exact same as their impact tapings.

Wow...that's just difficult to process, being their biggest PPV. I think TNA is pretty bad, but not THAT bad.

Re: Bound for glory attendance

The reason the crowd is down is because TNA isn't overly popular to begin with. Throw in a very medicore card with only a couple matches with proper build and who's going to pay good money to see it?

This show didn't feel special. Most of the fans who attended the show probably won't be back, ever.

They put a good show on tonight, and it sucks for the people that weren't there that could have been.
they didn't put on a good show at all the people who didn't go didn't miss anything
Some of the IWC are strange creatures.

It was a decent enough PPV (Angle/Roode and Bully/Styles matches were good) and a healthy enough attendance (3,500-4,000).

The "TNA iz dying!!!" crap is getting pretty boring and tedious now.

The only thing i'm LOLing at is the quite pathetic people who write constant anti TNA threads on every board, the same old tune being sung on all of them.

Give it a rest.
decent ENOUGH?! for 30-40 f***ing dollars, that's delusional

would you prefer "TNA iz stagnating" then? not good either way

who is pathtic here, the dog or the the hand that's masochistedly feeds it?

facts are facts bro
Amazes me how TNA has been dying every week since it's days at The Asylum in Nashville. :lmao

It was the same rhetoric spewed out then and it's the same now. Some things in the IWC never change.
you're saying that tna being alive at this point is a good thing? something tells me that you would scoff at the sentiment of a person who died fat but could have died with a six pack

Re: Bound for glory attendance

As a former "die hard" fan of TNAW (who eventually yet died) I say: TNAW deserves what it got.

They had so many great creative ideas to make an impact in the business. They had so many gifted wrestlers to write history with. They had such a loyal vocal crowd, which could have been used to create an ECWesque atmosphere.

They just fucked it up. They pissed on the things they had and let fat egos dry out their potential.

This coudln't be any more true.

The sad thing is that, at this point, TNA's best move might be to try and reestablish itself as the Philly promotion, up to and including taping at the Arena. Fuck Universal Studios. They want to look like a contender? Start by going to the most rabid fans in the world and working to impress them.

Re: Bound for glory attendance

BFG is TNA's biggest PPV of the year, primarily because TNA's marketing wants it to be. But if you look at the attendance numbers (and ppv buyrates), the numbers never really reflected that.

BFG 2007 - 4000
BFG 2008 - 5000
BFG 2009 - 2400
BFG 2010 - 3500
BFG 2011 - 3500
BFG 2012 - 2900
BFG 2013 - 3000

Lockdown 2007 - 6000
Lockdown 2008 - 5500
Lockdown 2009 - 4500
Lockdown 2010 - 3000
Lockdown 2011 - 4000
Lockdown 2012 - 3000
Lockdown 2013 - 6700
Personally i always thought the cards for Lockdown are much better buildup than the BFG ones.

And Lockdown 2008 did record PPV buys.

For whatever reason, Dusty's stupid idea is working. *shrug*

Re: Bound for glory attendance

Loretta Hunt, an MMA writer, is doing a Sports Illustrated article about Dixie Carter so she was in attendance for BFG. Her estimate is 3,000-4,000 fans, which is in line with PWInsider's story of 3,000 pre walk-up + whatever walk-up crowd they had.

Re: Bound for glory attendance

Fail.

Someone buy this company out already.
The only thing of much value is the TV slot. Otherwise, most anyone could start a company and raid the talent. TNA needs to pick an area and concentrate on it, even though the TV is national. ECW was based in Philly and was watched nationally. The Carolinas and Memphis used to be wrestling hotbeds and still have indys. It might have done better running a smaller building in Greensboro or Charlotte for BFG.
I wonder how much of that house last night was paid vs. papered. The total house had to be low, add in building costs and TNA could not have made much if any profit.
