Apparently many TNA wrestlers and officials felt disappointed with the way the TV Taping in Fayetteville,NC went. There was bickering within the locker room regarding some of the matches and Sting's return. TNA officials weren't happy with the attendance of the taping which was at 2,500-3,000 and had heavily papered the show. The production of the show was also very sluggish. 1 half of the arena was completely empty. Most in the locker room think TNA is not ready to go live or go on the road.

See this picture for the horrible attendance

i'm not buying the report

Not that rags are the end all, be all but it's getting tiring seeing people continuing to defend TNA by "not buying" reports. It's the same in people turning a blind eye to dictators or hapless governments. TNA is in an awful place right now. The booking's shaky. The roster's been sacrificed to get over Hardy, Anderson, Hogan, and Flair--none of which are TNA bred. Live attendance outside of Orlando is awful and the Orlando crowd is a bunch of stand-ins and tourists and TNA is in dire need of new crowds.

Again, no one is attacking whether you should or can enjoy TNA but in terms of the business aspect of TNA, they have been in constant turmoil since Hogan and Bischoff came aboard and Dixie's inconsistent managing is only worsening the chasm between talent, management, and product. Stop defending what is a terrible product top to bottom. You can still be a fan of TNA but be proactive, not reactive.

That picture says a thousand words. They can barely even fill a small arena to half capacity.

 

[M.S.I.I.]

I wonder why.

exactly where did this report come from? A credible site, or some TNA-Hater just make it up?

 

[Sephiroth]

Guys, someone said something negative about TNA!

LETS FLAME THE MOTHERFUCKER.

(btw, it looks like they moved people from the side behind the hardcam to the hardcam side)

 

[LeapingLannyPoffo]

That's one empty fucking arena.

bye bye impact on the road

There taking Lockdown to the US.Bank Arena , a 17,000 seat arena... Bye Bye PPV's on the road.

The Crown Coliseum was set up for 4,000 fans and they couldn't even sell 60-70% of those seats. Sad.

 

[MDizzle]

So, getting those 2,500 to 3,000 people even with half an empty arena isn't good enough for the company?! They should be happy that many people paid to see the product they've been putting out ... not to mention the 3/3/11 blatant ripoff...................

the picture doesn't say shit because the actual broadcast wont show that. The youtube video shows alot of promise on the road too. This a new thing so of course it will take time to catch on.

WTF? How can they not be happy with 3.100 fans that what they need on most show, Anything from 2500 to 3500 will be great for TNA.

So your basically saying it doesn't matter what TNA draws b/c they will manage not to show 50% of the empty arena on TV. It matters what they draw b/c that's what decides if they take iMPACT! on the road or not.

 

[layeth87smack]

dam the pics from the otherside ooked like the place was full (aside from the stage side)

i would like them to be the new WCW....but how can that practically happen ?????

 

[Adramelech]

This just in: Inside sources are reporting that newz sites are making up random "scoops" to get page hits. Our sources inside the insider sources imply that this will continue in the future.

The camera won't see the side with empty seats.
