TNA Notes(Lockdown, UK/NYC BFG, etc)
Glad to see Lockdown ticket sales is doing good so far..
Russo has a point about the lack of giants/Big men.
Warrior became a star, and so were Batista,Goldberg,Andre,Hogan,Undertaker,Cena,HHH,Khali,etc.

We don't need"giants" who can't wrestle for crap. Look at that list for big men, how many of them are actually great wrestlers?None

K the thing about Giants in todays day is a retarded statement. Anyone in the wwe that is pushed is because vince wants it that way. Think even now in the wwe. All the biggest pushed guys are not super tall or big aka the miz ha.
No one cares anymore about someone being 8 feet tall. Its about Character thats what i think a good handful of people in TNA have against wwe.

The Hammerstein Ballroom doing BFG? I know they'd sell out easily but they'd just have a bit more seats than the total audience of BFG 2009 (2,400). Couldn't they just find a bigger venue in NY and seat it for 8,000? Attendance rates from previous shows could allow a good show.
As for the UK, whilst they could get 10,000+ attending, time zones are a huge problem.
If they want to do something for Slammiversary, just put it on the road. 2 PPVs outside Orlando is too little and since there's talk of canning Impact tapings on the road, it'd just make things worse.
If Lockdown ticket sales are doing well, then it should be good. Wasn't their attendance record at 6,000+ at that baseball field?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
HHH is pretty big, Undertaker is huge, Vader is big and wide, and Kane is tall (and let himself go).
Cena's like 188 cm, and 110 kg (6'2, 250 pounds) (and that's his billed stats). That's like a running back. Not that big. He can just pick up big people.
Then again, I'm like the size of Edge (non-billed height)... but still, Cena's not that big compared to the others. You should have put Batista in that range.
The fact that TNA wants to find a giant shows the disservice of booking they did to Matt Morgan and Abyss. True, Matt is skinnier than other big men (IE: Ripped, but not enough muscle mass), but he's still a big man. He shouldn't be losing to a damn dropkick.

There are no young giants in wrestling. The last new "bigmen" that WWE flirted with pushing IIRC were Festus and Kevin Thorn. They weren't even that big. They just played bigman gimmicks. Kozlov's another one of those guys.
How many bonafide 6'9" guys are there out there nowadays? Eli Cottonwood? Brodie Lee? I think there's another guy, on the indies, that I'm forgetting but apart from those, there isn't anyone.
Isis the Amazon is hardly the answer to TNA's problems.

- Vince Russo wants a big man LOL Why in 2007 when Matt Morgan come in the company you did not give him the Goldberg booking right now he will be somewhat of a star in your company.
- Bound for Glory in the UK is a must its TNA only way of getting 8,000to 10,000 for that event.
- Slammiversary should be in The Hammerstein Ballroom this year

TNA doesn't know how to book big men. Look at Morgan. He is a prime example of how NOT to book a big man.

When you put Tickets for sale months in advanced, you'll sell well. Not to mention the Ochocinco publicity. Maybe we will see a record US attendance, who knows.
But yeah, if TNA would've put the Fayettville tickets for sale more than a month beforehand, they probably would of got an even larger crowd.

By the way, if they want to do the Hammerstein Ballroom, either find another PPV or do a Live Impact for the show before Bound for Glory. Even doing Impact tapings at the place would be adequate as long as they don't censor the crowd.
