Word is the show tonight was also sold out, which is good news. Also saw images of Jeff Hardy wrestling as himself against Lashley and not as Willow. Called it.

THIS is what the company needs. They need to draw these crowds everywhere though, the Texas crowd and this is a good start though.

This is a good start. You won't draw these crowds everywhere. They need to have the bad crowds to weed out the poor markets. I think TNA would benefit greatly from a tour strategist that goes over expected gate numbers. I assume they don't have one now because they seem to have such poor gate numbers sometimes.

Now? They've never had one period.

The reason why going on the road failed last year is because they looked at a map of America and threw a dart at the thing. WWE studies which areas view Raw the most and then go to those places. TNA just picked fucking anywhere and that strategy ONLY works in obvious places they are going to get crowds ie. Chicago.

But hopefully they've learnt their lesson this time round. Hot crowds are what TNA needs (not necessarily numbers at this point) and ever since Slammiversary, that's what they've got.
