Did it say on wrestle talk TV last week that challenge are going to should British wrestling again or did I dream that, looked on the website and can't see anything.
Your right, end of March I think it said, half 11 time I think. I'm assuming it's only going to be a half hour show as Wrestle Talk has been cut to half hour.

There's going to be 7'000 at Lockdown tonight, thats huge for TNA in the USA, 7'000 will be a new USA record for TNA which apparently could be beat the next night in Chicago at the live Impact! 2013 has started really well for TNA, I think fans are starting to get it and lose interest in WWE.

I read TNA could of made it 10.000 for lockdown. Slamiversary is being held in a 7.000 seat arena this year.

They could of made it 60,000 but they only sold 7,000 tickets and don't paper events anymore.

Sorry what I ment was 10.000 paid, I do wonder if TNA will take a leaf out of WWE and add a but to the total number.

I hope they don't, it's pointless, say it's a sellout and don't announce the attendance makes more sense then making up a number. Anyway it's meant to be a legit 7,000 tonight, I'm going to avoid this thread until Thursday now, last time some genius spoilt B.F.G, so enjoy Impact tonight and I'll see ya Thursday guys.

Still seems weird that D`lo is a main character in 2013.

From WrestlingObserver.com
The only updated word we had on Bobby Roode today is that those in TNA were seeming confident he would be signed. Whether he will make it in for the show, we don't know and we haven't heard any confirmation he is there.

Doubt it, Raw has been doing higher ratings than last year with Rock as champion. San Antonio is a good market, the test will be the other tapings (Chicago is doing well, but it's another hotbed for wrestling). Good for TNA though (although I still wonder why in the hell they took a 70.000+ place for a show when they use only a sixth of them).

Dixie said she wanted to do a show in San Antonio but WWE had exclusive deals with all the arenas, the only option was to book the Alamodome and curtain it off, makes sense and looks really good.

It doesn't look really good if you take a place that you can't possibly fill. It makes them look stupid. WWE has locked arenas in San Antonio and you only can run the Alamodome...don't run there! You spend a fortune in production and you don't get your money's worth. Take another 5-6.000 seat arena in El Paso, if you wanna run Texas so bad (and they ran Dallas last year, there's a plethora of places where they haven't been. They're gonna be in Boston for Slammiversary in a good sized arena, so the fact that they only could run the Alamodome is bullcrap, they could have gone anywhere else and they would have done a good result without renting a place that is gonna be difficult to make look good on tv (not impossible, but difficult, and TNA's tv production often leaves a lot to be desired).

The Alomodome can be changed about to seat anything from 1.000 to 60.000 so it can compete with the other arenas in the area.Also you only pay for the size you want.

Hey, I've always had a soft spot for D'Lo . Got screwed over in WWE because of the Droz incident and never recovered, although it likely had a knock on effect on his performances too.

Some continuity there too, as he was the guy under the mask and makes sense for the gang to have somebody on the inside to let them into the Impact Zone.

I get the continuity aspect with D'Lo, but .. D'Lo ?. Meh. For Angle's reaction last week, it felt like it should have been "someone".

The big fuss at least from last night's impact isn't that he is a wrestler its the fact that the A&Es have infiltrated TNA management, someone they all trusted and liked and he has joined the enemy, thats what all the moans about terrible Betrayals came from.

That's fair enough and I get that, i really do, but it was still a bit "meh" from me. But, to be fair, that reaction is probably based partially on me remembering D'Lo from his WWF days as a bit "meh" and also the fact that my interest in wrestling in general has been in a steady decline for a good few years now.
