TNA will be releasing limited amounts of $20 tickets for the live iMPACT! taping next Thursday (October 23) in Las Vegas at The Joint in the Hark Rock Hotel & Casino. The taping is close to being sold out as there wasn't expected to be any problem filling the 1,000 seat building. Many people from Spike TV will be attending the taping, so the hope is that they can sell a few hundred tickets in a market they have yet to hold a show in.
Midway Games announced that they would be severing relationships with several licensees early as a cost cutting move to help the company. Midway has taken some pretty big losses in recent years and the hope is that this move will allow Midway to conserve development expenditures on "underperforming projects." Midway listed TNA Wrestling and DC Comics vs. Mortal Kombat as "strong" so TNA will not be effected by this new changes. Midway is already working on the second TNA video game release adding aspects like TNA Knockouts and the Six Sides of Steel to the game.
