According to The Wrestling Observer, many people within TNA were said to be down on the live crowd in Nashville for Sunday's Lockdown PPV. As could be heard on TV, most of the crowd was oddly very quiet during the event, with the exception of the Hogan/Flair segment, Hardy vs Angle and Roode vs Storm.

What do they expect when they put on a C grade show with fucking Garrett "the future of wrestling" Bischoff in the opener. Give the crowd something to get loud and crazy for. Also when you're not paying actors to be your crowd, they don't act as you wish.

Was more surprised Storm didn't get that much of a reaction in his hometown

I hope that TNA don't think that this means they need to remain in the Impact Zone. If they had structured the show better and didn't push people that didn't deserve it they would have had a better reaction. Storm winning the mainevent would have brought the crowd to their feet and they would have got loud for that.

TNA's product is crap now. They have some amazing talent, who are both excellent in the ring and on the mic, but they choose other people. It's kind of annoying.

I was suprised at how bad the crowd were considering their history in Nashville, storms reaction was weak as well

However the garrett match did get quite a bit of reaction due to Aries and RVD

This is what happens when plants are not used in your audience.

Plus your front row don't have pretty looking girls around it.

But that would have been the last moments of the ppv anyway so would not have made that much of a difference, besides Storm winning as I said would have been the wrong outcome.

This is really true, the crowd was pretty hot for the opening match, but died about halfway through. Then the rest of the night, I barely heard a sound until Flair.

Worst crowd ever.

Go sit on your hands at the fucking theatre or something instead, why are you going to wrestling for if you are gonna be a mute all night. Felt embarrased for TNA tbh.
