TNA… Cross the Line again

Hopefully he's not as pig shit thick as his Dad.

We talked earlier in the year about WWE struggling to sell tickets for WrestleMania and AEW having similar issues with All In. Well, it looks like TNA might be in the same boat with Bound for Glory!

Tickets have been on sale since around August 19th, with the show taking place at the Yuengling Center, which holds around 9,500. As of yesterday, they've sold just 734 tickets (according to WrestleTix), with only two weeks left until the show...

Here is the current card

• TNA World Championship: Nic Nemeth (c) vs. Leon Slater
• TNA Knockouts World Championship: Xia Brookside (c) vs. Indi Hartwell    
• TNA X Division Championship: Fabian Aichner vs. KC Navarro vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Rich Swann vs. Ryan Nemeth vs. TBD (Six-way scramble for the vacant title)
• Ricky Sosa vs. Eddie Edwards
• Call Your Shot Gauntlet (Winner receives a future championship match)

I'm not sure what the current situation is with their WWE partnership but it feels like things have gone pretty quiet between the two companies lately.

TNA really needs something big to boost ticket sales. It won't help that their cheapest tickets are around $60 whereas AEW usually has tickets available from around $30.

Jeez there's low and there's low. That's genuinely terrible.

I can’t think of many wrestlers less suited to the X Division than Ryan Nemeth. What even is it these days if he’s somehow made his way into a title match?

That’s horrific. It’s not an inspiring card, but I hope they manage to shift more seats than that.

What are The Hardys expected to be doing? They're one of the few draws TNA have, once a match gets announced for them that would probably help a little.

It looks like they'll probably be facing the newest signings of TNA:

Is Bound for Glory still their flagship Wrestlemania-esque show of the year? Because Nemeth vs Slater is an appalling main event if so.

Saw some quotes last week that Jeff is going to be stepping back a bit. But Matt will keep going. Which is the worst outcome for TNA.

That's no way to talk about the number two promotion in the US, buddy.

I'd seen suggestions it was pretty much done, but judging by the scripted lines at the end of this:

They must still be producing the commentary. I think even Michael Cole would be embarrassed saying that garbage out loud.

If that's the case - you turn Matt on Jeff and have him lead "Syx", don't you? Given his own history with Bray Wyatt.

In their press releases they still describe it as TNA's biggest event of the year, so yeah it is 

Since my last update, they've sold a further 22 tickets, pushing the total up to 756. They had almost 3K fans for Slammiversary in June so I don't know why there is such a big drop for this. I do feel for the promotion; they've lost/let go of so much talent it must be hard competing with so many companies who can promote so easily through streaming, YouTube etc.

Having Dolph Ziggler in your biggest shows main event is a sure fire way of telling your audience "hey we're average"
