Backstage Update On Christy Hemme/TNA, Amazing Red/TNA

? Attendance for TNA's live event tour of Ohio (4/24 in Lakewood, 4/25 in Niles and 4/26 in Columbus) two weekends ago was quite dismal. So much so that it was difficult to get paid attendance figures on the shows, other than the 4/26 event drawing 500 fans. TNA officials are privately blaming the lackluster ticket sales on WWE having shows booked in Youngstown and Columbus on 5/9 and 5/11. On the plus side, attendance for last weekend's four-city run in Knoxville, TN, Corbin, KY, Huntington, WV & Pikeville, KY was said to be solid.

? TNA has signed the Amazing Red to a new deal.

? In regards to Christy Hemme, her status with TNA remains unclear. No one has said a word about her and it is unknown how much longer she will be out as she recovers from neck surgery.
