News Very small crowd from Friday's live event

[Snowman1]

That might be the perception, but wrestling is popular on both coasts and in Texas atm, it seems to be floundering in the South. Vegas provided TNA with much better crowds, but they never do house shows there or in CA to my knowledge. I'm sure a west coast house show tour with decent advertising would attrack more than 200 fucking people.

Not sure how much it WOULD help, but you're right. TNA has to try something.

who knows, but they can't just keep doing the same shit hoping for it to get better

- This weekend’s string of low attendance at TNA live events continued with Sunday night’s show in Albany, Georgia. An estimated 200-350 fans were in attendance. The show reportedly finished in under 2 hours. Here’s a photo of the crowd:

For the love of god Dixie close down TNA the company is finished just by looking at that photo shows the business is dead how are they affording to pay all the wrestlers when shows are that low in attendance

Absolutely, but you know what? Maybe they're finally figuring that out.

Even if it's out of necessity, right now TNA has the focus on some new talent (at least all the focus that Dixie isn't sucking up), and they're drawing the biggest ratings since the Russo era. Maybe they can look at this and say "Hmmm, pushing all the legends didn't work out, now that we're forced to use NEW guys our TV ratings are doing better? What else should we change?"

Although I wouldn't put it past Dixie to yell "Yay, I'm a draw!" :facepalm1:

EDIT: Wait, the new talent in the spotlight didn't draw ratings in 2012. Never mind.

Their problems are outside of the realm of what is happening on screen. The on screen product is up and down, but business is just down. They need to fix the way they run things, not figure out who to push as the next hot talent. Those things work themselves out if you know how to run a wrestling company.

Haha, by that post I meant that since ratings are going up with them trying something new, maybe they can extend that philosophy to other aspects of their business?

Haha wow I heard about this, hadn't seen the picture yet. That's quite the scene seeing such a minute amount of fans in the crowd for what I see is a quite impressive matchcard for a TNA event like that.

If I were the remaining TNA talent in that company i would consider jumping ship right now before the company sinks as it will and those wrestlers dont wanna be struggling for money get out now and find work on the indys
