That's not the hard camera side. That side was full. That being said, TNA needs to go to smaller venues that fit 500 or so people.
Smaller places aren't always set up well for tv, you can see that when you see indy wrestling on tv.
Who called it?!?!
Daniel Bryan will fight HHH and if he win he the main event at wrestlemanis turns into a Triple Threat Title match..
Everybody. We all saw the end result, we just didn't know how they would get there...
until Punk quit/walked out.
most of the internet nerds was already calling this after Dave won the rumble and Punk told WWE to kick rocks...there was NO CHANCE IN HELL that Batista and Randy Orton was going to be the main event...
Especially when they blew Batista's return. His beef with Del Rio was bad and they somehow forgot that Steph and HHH were heels so calling Dave "our good friend" every week can only get them what they got: people booing Batista.
If there was a way for them to mess this up, they took it.
If they didn't have 50 yrs of name recognition and hundreds of millions of dollars, they would be drawing 1500 fans to their ppvs too.
DB is in the title picture, cool. Dave you nailed it. Couple of questions though.
- If DB wins the title at Mania, how long do you think they let him keep it?
- If they let him keep it for more than a month (PPV after Mania) how many times do you think we'll have to suffer through DB vs winded in four minute Batista?
- Do you think we'll get DB vs. Cesaro for the title anytime soon?
- Do you think we'll get DB vs. Lesnar for the title anytime soon?
I don't know. They're just all over the place. They've lost control and are reacting. Vince is a hardheaded sumbitch and he hates to be told what to do but I think Bryan can hold the title until SummerSlam, maybe. His bad promos though

. He's as bad as Cena on the mic.
The wrong thing would be to put it on Batista at Mania and then have Bryan chase him. TNA had Magnus win at Lockdown but that was because they had the MVP and the Wolves win in the last match. The babyface should win the last match at Mania. If they have the title match before Taker-Brock, Bryan isn't winning.
They'll probably do Cesaro. He and Bryan have good matches and the people are interested in him.
If they book him against Lesnar, especially since you know Lesnar losing to Taker, they're taking the belt off Bryan.
I saw this and I wasn't surprised at all
Batista posted on his twitter, "Hell of a week! The most fun since I've been back. Incredible crowds! Great matches and trainings w/ @joshrafferty Back 2 La La Land I go!"
Now that he's back heel, Dave's having way more fun. It's refreshing to see a guy who likes being a heel and doesn't just want to be a "cool heel" so he can turn babyface.
I'm thinking this is just how TNA does business. They seem to be more comfortable filling the camera side of a mid sized arena than moving to and filling a smaller venue. It's probably smart business on their part. Filling the camera side of a mid size arena makes them look like a bigger deal on tv than if they switched to a NXT sized place for a major PPV. All that being said though, seeing half of the arena empty has to kill the energy for the people in attendance. Image going to a party in a big ass house and there are only like 10 people there. 
From what I've read and heard that's definitely a part of it. But there has never been a national company that filled 10k arenas in their first 20 years, much less their first dozen. That same picture could be taken at most Smackdown tapings and for years that was what Raw and Nitro tapings looked like (I was at more than one in a half empty arena). Fans in attendance don't care. We're all lumped together and, if the show is good (which Lockdown was, not perfect by any means but good wrestling), we don't even notice the other side. It's when companies don't do a hard side camera that looks bad on tv and kills crowd energy because everybody is just sitting everywhere.
