This is just sad. They brought out the names and all. NXT draws more people than this around Florida. I can't see how you come close to breaking even renting a venue and paying talent with this kind of turnout, which is actually smaller than the high school gym they couldn't sell out

Maybe the tickets are overpriced so nobody's buying them? If they were in the Southwestern Ontario area I might check them out, but I ain't shelling out a shitload of money to watch indy-quality wrestling.

It's time to start giving away free lapdances from the Knockouts with the purchase of a ticket

Don't really think this is thread worthy, but it is pretty hilarious.

I swear the crowds have been like this since 2009 when Foley was making jokes about it.

How do these people stay on TV? I mean, network contracts are expensive, so unless all thirty some odd fans paid 150 bucks per ticket, I have absolutely no clue.

Guys like Angle and Hardy must desperately want out and back to the E surely. This is the kind of crowd big names wrestle infront of when they're broke and drugged out...that does sound alot like Kurt actually.

That crowd doesn't seem any different than the ROH shows I see on Fridays on ABC?NBC? one of them.

Just confirms TNA's indy status more than anything..
