– As announced on Thursday’s Impact Wrestling, TNA Lockdown 2013 will be taking place from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. TNA President Carter commented on Lockdown being hosted from San Antonio next March:
Can't tell you how excited I am that #Lockdown will be held at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas! First time EVER in this great city.

Lockdown taking place in March is a change from previous years, when it was held in April. TNA will certainly benefit from moving one of their biggest shows of the year away from the shadow of WWE’s WrestleMania, there appears to be more to the story. According to PWInsider.com, the move could be a sign that TNA is will be back on their pay-per-view schedule. TNA staffers have been wanting to reduce the number of pay-per-views, but it’s believed that TNA had agreements in place with television carriers that contractually obligated them to hold monthly PPVs.
– Dixie Carter revealed that TNA staffer Bob Ryder has been cleared to return to work after dealing with health issues. She tweeted:
One guy keeps TNA moving each week. @bryderTNA has dealt w/
serious health issues for a year & never stopped working even from the hospital!— Dixie Carter (@TNADixie) November 29, 2012
