According to live reports, approximately 200-300 fans attended the TNA live event in Battle Creek, Michigan this past Friday night. The following night in DeKaib, Illinois, the TNA live event drew approximately 400 fans.

and i bet you they didnt advertise these like they did for the UK tour

I don't care what Tazz says, I sense the beginning of the end.

They did advertise. I heard about it probably 15-20 times. Tried convincing me to go watch a live show off the promise of "Magnus and others." No thanks.

Is this surprising considering this is a show that gets beat in ratings by the WNBA & Everybody Loves Raymond re-runs?

I was at the Battle Creek show, and i have pictures of the entire audience. I can definitely confirm that there was about 200 people MAX there.

The event started promptly at 7:30pm -- I was informed by the merch stand, people were let in as early as 6pm. These pictures were taken close to 9pm. No more people were filed in, or left at this point. This was the show at it's fullest:

More than I expected tbh. Here's some tips for you, TNA.

Don't tour the north during the winter. Crazy ass motherfuckers.

It must be so disheartening to go to work and wrestle to a mostly empty building.
How can you put on a good show with hardly no one there?

^ Ask indy wrestlers.

when they came to our area there was so little advertising it was ridiculous. i saw two commercials the week before they were here. and they went and booked a 14k seat arena and only drew a couple hundred. it was terrible the floor wasnt even sold out.

INFINITE WISDOM AND TRUTH, there.

ROH has a tendency to do the same thing. HEY LET'S GO TO DEARBORN, MI in JANUARY!!!

Chikara has it right, last 3 times have all been in the peak of summer, in Taylor, MI.

It's like they have no one that understands snow. We don't do shit when there is 100 feet of snow on the fucking ground.

At least 50% of the reason i went, is because i wouldn't be surprised if they folded before ever making it back to MI. The other was to hang out with a good friend i haven't seen in almost a year.
