TNA may be changing their house show operations in the near future, running two separate crews and concentrating more on small towns. Keeping out of the big cities would mean lower promotional and venue costs, plus they would be just as likely to draw crowds since the local population gets fewer shows coming to town. The cards would likely be rather economical with just six matches apiece but still last just as long. There is a chance this new directive will come into play later this year.
At the TNA house shows there is a line-up sheet posted with all the matches and a * next to the name of the winner. At the bottom of the sheet is a note saying “* = winner”. At a house show last weekend someone put a + next to the name of all the losers, with a note at the bottom saying “+ = jobber”. Underneath that someone posted another sheet that said “+ = good luck, good attitude, not tonight”. Below that one someone posted a final sheet that said “+ = Kip James”.
