Early Word on Slammiversary PPV Buys, Sabin Injury Update, Attendance

Posted on 06.21.12 | Category: TNA News

- As noted before, Chris Sabin tore his left ACL on last week’s Impact Wrestling. The injury came during Ultimate X when Austin Aries backdropped him over the top rope. He was to have his fall blocked by Ion but he landed bad. Sabin will likely undergo surgery that will put him out of action six to nine months. Sabin just returned in March after being out of action for 11 months due to reconstructive surgery on his right knee.

- Based on early estimates, TNA’s Slammiversary pay-per-view looks to have done between 14,000 and 15,000 buys. This is up from the usual 7,000 to 10,000 buys that average TNA pay-per-views draw. This is way up from the 2011 Slammiversary event which was estimated at 7,500 buys.

- The TNA live event on June 16th in Houston, Texas drew 650 fans.

    Slammiversary was great. I’m glad to see it’s getting good numbers.

    My best wishes go out to Chris Sabin, too. After these injuries, I wouldn’t be too surprised if he worked a ‘safer’ style from now on…

    And somebody slap Ion across the face.

    Ion just seems like a horrible person, two people with greater talent than him have now been seriously injured

  • yes yes yes

    get ion out before he kills someone clearly he’s unsafe in the ring and he’s really not that entertaining!
