-- Scott Steiner was too injured to wrestle at the last set of Impact tapings. He suffered some sort of injury during his title match at Sacrifice. TNA had plans for him nab a singles win at one of the tapings, but he was too hurt to wrestle. The injury isn't serious as he should be back in the ring soon, perhaps as early as tonight's Impact taping.
-- Based on some of the crowd's reactions at Sacrifice a few weeks ago, it was largely conceded that TNA needs to move the pay-per-views out of Orlando. Some feel that the crowd has seen so much that they need to take them on the road, but others say that that the Orlando fans still react when the product is good, not to mention that it's much more cost-effective.

What the hell, how can you take anymore PPV's from Orlando? I mean we've had to all year and that is suppose to be all we get. As for the reaction of the Orlando crowd, it's like any other crowd in wrestling. They react well to what is good and they react horribly when something is completely horrendous. |

When I went it was full of a bunch of jerks cheering for the heels and cursing (quite vulgar) the faces. You've got kids around there too and people could care less about saying (Chris Harris sucks ****) My friend and I vowed never to go back to an Orlando show for the simple reason that the crowd made us embarrassed to be there and it became so distracting and annoying it took away from the great matches. I'll see them anywhere outside Orlando.
Edit: I realize there are some great fans in Orlando so I'm not singling you guys out, but we encountered a lot of jerks and guys who thought they were beyond cool for no reason. I had a much better experience going to see ecw in 98' where everyone was there to just have a good time and not try to battle eachother with lame chants.

Well just for money's sake they need to do PPVs outside of the Orlando crowd anyway.

I get your point, but I've never experienced that. I do think TNA's main problem crowd wise is too many tourists since it's at Universal. If you've ever watched a PPV outside of Orlando, you know the crowd is always really hot. The only time recently at TNA I have experienced a really hot crowd(I go like all the time) was at the Live Taping on the 27th. Most of the Orlando fans are tourists that think TNA is an attraction for the park and don't even know what it is. They spend all day in the sun and try to just find somewhere to cool off for a little bit, and they see it's wrestling and leave. You'll never guess how many times I've been told to move over to the middle section TV side so the arena looks more crowded, because tourists leaves midway through. I think that is their main problem, people who go to the shows not knowing was it is, and leaving because of being uninterested. |
