- The Wrestling Observer is reporting that TNA executives showed up unannounced to the recent Dayton, OH TNA house show event and were said to be blown away by how different the TV tapings are compared to the live house show events.
- The Wrestling Observer also reported that TNA locker room morale is said to be at an all-time low right now, and it was especially down at the last set of Impact tapings and during the Slammiversary PPV. One of the main reasons why is because when Dixie Carter makes statements like “an announcement is coming that will change TNA forever,” the talent in the locker room feel like they’re being worked and kayfabed as none of them have any idea what’s going on.
- So far, TNA has sold about 2,600 tickets for it’s Lockdown Pay Per View tomorrow night, and plans to sell over 3,000. The arena is set up for 4,000 fans.
- TNA has released the opening video for Lockdown, which you can view at the bottom of this post.
- TNA will be holding Sacrifice from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, May 16th.
Stars scheduled for Sacrifice at the moment are Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, AJ Styles, Rob Van Dam, Abyss, The Pope, Sting, Desmond Wolfe, Jeff Hardy, the Knockouts, the X-Division, and more.
TNA has announced via press release that it will be debuting a new TV show on Mondays. The press release notes, “Spike presents TNA Reaction, a never-before-seen look at the combustible world of TNA Wrestling with exclusive backstage access and candid interviews featuring the biggest names in wrestling. Fans will experience all the unseen drama as rivals speak openly about their plans to destroy their most hated foes. TNA superstars featured include Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, and more.”
- There isn’t much to spoil, so I’ll just come out and say it. Abyss was not featured on the iMPACT! tapings last night, so he may not appear on the show. But, he may have some sort of promo. You never know.
- The following is a new tweet from the official Twitter page of TNA president Dixie Carter:
“Mon Night iMPACT! moves to 8 pm ET start time on Spike each Monday w/an encore performance Thursdays at 9 pm ET. Spread the word!”
As we’ve repoted, the April 5th edition of TNA Impact will be broadcast from 8-10pm as a result of the NCAA Championship basketball game.
According to a source within TNA, SpikeTV officials will be paying very close attention to how Impact performs in the ratings on the 5th. I was told that the SpikeTV higher-ups have not been happy about the low ratings Impact has been drawing since its move to Monday nights at 9pm, and that if the show performs better at 8pm, then the network might seriously consider a permanent move to that time slot.
As a bit of an update on the TNA Impact going from 8-10PM on April 5th: apparently it was a call made by Spike TV and not TNA Wrestling. As of now, the 8-10PM timeslot is considered a one-time experiment to see how the show performs in that slot.
The show will face RAW head-to-head as well as the NCAA tourney finals, which is generally considered rough competition for wrestling every year.
It’s worth noting that the most successful hour as far as ratings are concerned, for TNA and Impact, is the 8-9PM hour of their three hour, 8-11PM debut on Monday nights back on January 4th.
TNA has exactly one week to promote the new start time, which may not be enough considering what replay ratings have been drawing for Impact, despite the heavy promotion for the Monday switch a while back.

Abyss Not Scheduled For iMPACT!, New iMPACT! Timeslot?
- From what I’ve read of the spoilers for next weeks TNA iMPACT!, I couldn’t find anything involving Abyss. Not a match, not a promo, nothing. Hopefully he has something next week.
- The official website for Spike TV lists the April 5th edition of TNA Impact as airing on Monday from 8-10PM, instead of the 9-11PM timeslot they’ve been using on Monday’s. This will give them an hour unopposed to RAW, which to date has been their best hour on Monday back on January 4th when they went from 8-11PM.
Spike made the call to give TNA iMPACT! a replay early yesterday. Many in TNA didn’t even know about the replay until it was advertised online. The plan was to do the replay last week, and then for the next several weeks to run feature films between 9-11PM. Last week’s strong replay rating seems to indicate that there is still a Thursday audience for the show.
In case you don’t understand that, TNA will be having a replay of iMPACT! on Spike TV tonight, with the same time slot as last weeks. So if you missed iMPACT! last week, be sure to tune in tonight.
