TNA drew actually drew 700 fans to last Saturday's house show at the BankUnited Center, which is the 8,000-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of the University of Miami. The next day's show at the Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland, Florida drew 600 fans in a 10,000 seat venue. Front row seats were still available the day of the show despite newspaper & radio ads, and tons of cable TV ads during the WWE and TNA wrestling shows. Also, half the arena had to be curtained off.

As reported earlier, Frank Trigg has been dropped as a character in TNA. TNA removed his profile from the roster page on their official website, which should confirm his departure from the company. The door is still open for him to return to TNA should they come up with a storyline for him.

The TNA website has added Mick Foley to the roster section, although no profile is linked. Foley appears to cut a post-WWE promo on iMPACT! tonight.
