From the TNA source over at the WO forums: Lockdown ticket sales have been very good so far. At the current sales rate of the tickets there is talk of possibly breaking their US attendance record.
Right now the top matches for Lockdown look to be Fortune vs Immortal in the Lethal Lockdown match, Jarrett vs Angle and a World Title match which has yet to be decided on. Prior to Sting winning the title I was told it would be Hardy vs Anderson vs RVD but that is obviously out the window at this point.
As of now Slammiversary is scheduled to take place in Orlando but buildings are being scouted just in case they decide to take it on the road. They were close to booking a venue in Texas for the event but things didn't work out.
As I reported before, there has been talk of holding Bound for Glory in the UK this year but as of late that talk has died down a bit. The Hammerstein Ballroom has been talked about for the event in the past several weeks.
Vince Russo is looking to bring in someone that is legit at least 6'9 or so. He says one thing holding the company back is the lack of true giants and claims that is one thing that has always helped WWE draw well.
Chase Stevens was backstage at the shows in NC trying to get work but TNA has no interest in bringing him back. David Young was also backstage visiting friends.

This guy's very reliable...believed to be recently released Shark boy. Alvarez/Meltzer hasn't banned him so he's something legitimate.

The only point I don't understand is the giant item. Have things gone down since Kevin Nash left?
Alternatively, they could fill their entire roster with little people and have one normal dude.

They have Abyss, Morgan, & Rob Terry. WWE doesn't draw because of giants. They draw because they've built stars like Cena, Orton, HHH, Edge, Mysterio, etc. Lack of "big men" ain't the thing that's holding TNA back.

Because it looked like from what I just saw. That the Impact on the road event, look to have a good turn out.

I think BFG in the Uk would be an absolutely great idea. From what I read, they usually have good crowds over there. That said, it won't happen. No chance.

Maybe Chase Stevens could get Cassidy Reily back with him and reform the hot shots. Vince Russo would go nuts for that team!

He just posted this "Just wanted to check in and let you guys in on a quick note. I noticed there was no pyro on the show tonight and I noticed this back at BFG as well. I thought maybe in October that the venue did not allow it but after not seeing any tonight I decided to ask someone. I was told that they don't have to pay to use it in Orlando as Universal supplies it so they still use it there. On the road they have to so they no longer are in order to cut costs."

Honestly, I will take no pyro as long as they keep trying Impact on the road here and there.
Also BFG in the UK would be a great idea if it didn't kill them financially. I think it would bring a very special atmosphere to their "big one" and I've always really enjoyed the UK fan enthusiasm.

It looks nice at Wrestlemania but that's about it

I would definitely travel over to see it. The fans would be great, the atmoshpere would be great. Even if there's only a slim chance, I want to see this happen.
