TNA Carolina House Ratings, News



Here are some recent TNA house show attendance figures courtesy of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

July 25 in Fayetteville, NC drew 1,800 fans.

July 26 in Florence, SC drew 2,000 fans.

July 27 in Kenansville, NC drew 1,250 fans.

It should be noted that crowds on all three shows were more papered than usual. Advances going into the week for the three-day loop were said to be poor in all of the cities and it looked like the first potential money losing weekend since they started running three-city tours. However, all three cities ended up having strong ticket buys late. One thing that left many scratching their heads was the show in Kenansville selling 400 tickets the day before the show.



According to a report by ProWrestling.net's Jason Powell, Tomko has finished his run with TNA and was reportedly saying his goodbyes backstage at the tapings this week in Orlando. According to reports, the decision was made to part ways as Tomko has a history of turning down ideas from creative and not wanting to work with the company on numerous occassions.

Dustin Runnels, who worked in TNA as Black Reign and was the former Goldust in WWE, has also finished up with TNA. Much like with James Mitchell and Rellik, the company had nothing for him creatively, but the door was left open for a return down the line.

According to some new reports, Kevin Nash walking out on last night's Impact taping was a clash with management over a finish to a Gauntlet match set to air next week on Spike TV. Nash quietly left the taping, but it appears everything has blown over and that he is still with the company.
