– Last week on the special “Destination X” edition of Impact, Chris Sabin defeated Bully Ray to capture the TNA World Heavyweight title. According to sources backstage, this was not a last minute decision and the plans for Sabin to win the title went back several months.
– TNA’s recent live event from Danville, Illinois on (7/19) drew 500 fans. The following night’s show in Cape Girardeau, Missouri drew only 250 fans.
– Estimates have TNA’s Slammiversary pay-per-view doing around 13,500 buys, down approximately 7% from last year. So far, it does not appear that TNA reducing its PPV schedule to only 4 per year has yielded the results they were hoping for.
