Impact Ratings
TV ratings for the April 23 edition of TNA Impact following the Lockdown PPV declined by 4.3 percent to a 1.23 overall rating. The previous week's show averaged a 1.28 rating.
In overall viewership, however, this week's Impact drew an audience of 1.8 million viewers compared to 1.7 million viewers for last week's show.
TNT's coverage of the NBA Playoffs won the night on cable TV among males 18-49, but TNA's demographic ratings showed improvement over the previous week's show.
Impact averaged a 1.00 among males 18-49, which was a decent increase from last week's 0.93 rating in the demo. Last night's male 18-49 demo was right in line with the April 9 episode's 1.04 rating.
Among males 18-35, last night's show averaged a 0.86 compared to 0.78 last week and 0.87 on April 9.
Looking at the quarter-hour ratings, the show started strong, dipped considerably in the middle, then finished strong. First hour averaged a 1.22 rating and the second hour averaged a 1.24 rating.
The first hour started strong with two quarter-hours of 1.24 and 1.25 for the set-up of last night's show. The rating steadily declined until the sixth quarter hour, then finished strong with a 1.26 and 1.29 in the final two quarter hours for the main event of Scott Steiner vs. Jeff Jarrett.
Caldwell's Analysis: Good showing from TNA up against the first round of the NBA playoffs. As the playoff games become more meaningful in the later stages of the Playoffs, I expect the male demographic numbers to decline, but TNA started on the right foot last night. We'll also have to see how well WWE on WGN held up in week two to see if viewers returned to Impact last night after giving Superstars a try for their Thursday night wrestling fix, even if the two shows aren't head-to-head.

NEWS
Hijo del Santo announced yesterday that he will be holding a raffle as a benefit for Kato Kung Lee who is in very bad health and has no money or insurance to support himself or his family. Santo said Kato is having serious problems in his liver and kidneys and he feels like he must come through for his friend in his time of need. Santo had done a benefit show at Arena Lopez Mateos last month but there were problems with the promoter and Kato only received $15,000 pesos out of the $100,000 pesos that was collected causing some serious outrage among the wrestlers. Santo has recruited Blue Demon Jr. in this effort and they have come up with some great items such as tickets for WWE shows in Mexico, expensive dinners with him & Demon, authentic Santo & Demon merchandise, and other prizes for a ticket costing $1,000 pesos. Santo said that some people might think that is expensive but it is for a worthy cause to help one of the legends of lucha libre in his time of need.

TNA News
The Amazing Red era nel backstage TNA ai tapings della scorsa sera; come già riportato avrebbe dovuto debuttare in tag team con London, ma quest'ultimo ha deciso di non partecipare all'ultimo minuto, facendo saltare i piani e molti nervi in TNA.
Paul London ha cancellato anceh varie date nelle indies citando una sorta di infortunio.
Come misura per ridurre i costi in estate la TNA cambierà il modo di svolgere i tapings. A Luglio e probabilmente anche in Agosto verrà registrato l'intero mese in 4 giorni consecutivi.
Il 5 Maggio uscirà il DVD "Second to None - TNA Tag Teams"

London-TNA Update
London avrebbe dovuto debuttare ai tapings di questa settimana, ma ha rifiutato e pare che il suo arrivo in TNA possa non avvenire più, anche se le cose possono sempre cambiare.
Non si sa cosa ciò comporti nel ritorno di Amazing Red.

Jeff Hardy-WWE Update
Nei prossimi 2-4 mesi il contratto di Jeff Hardy arriverà al termine e perciò la WWE sta cercando duramente di arrivare ad un rinnovo.
Ad oggi, Hardy ha rifiutato tutte le varie proposte a lungo termine a lui offerte.
In un a mossa inaspettata, perchè mai accaduta prima, la WWE gli ha offerto un contratto di solo un anno, guisto per mantenerlo nella compagnia per poi lavorare su un rinnovo più lungo. Hardy al momento non ha accettato neanche quest'offerta.
La situazione contrattuale ha determinato in maniera forte il feud col fratello Matt, con quest'ultimo vittorioso, in modo da prevenirsi da un eventuale abbandono di Jeff.
il pensiero generale è che Jeff non voglia cambiare federazione ( non lo ha riferito apertamente), ma vivere la vita coi suoi ritmi. Le fonti TNA hanno negato un contatto con Jeff Hardy nell'ultimo periodo.

UFC 97 play-by-play from Montreal
UFC 97 play-by-play from Montreal
Welcome to our live coverage of UFC 97 from the Bell Center in Montreal. We're looking for your thoughts on the show, so you can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along with a best and worst match to dave@wrestlingobserver.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
The place is already 75% full and this is likely to be a hot crowd
Eliot Marshall vs. Vinny Magalhaes, both from last season's Ultimate Fighter show, opens things up. Don't go to the ground with Vinny Magalhaes. Two BJJ black belts here.
Crowd reacting to these two like semi-main eventers and eacted to Edith and ref Yves Lavigne like they wre big stars. Vinny connected with a right. Marshall back, then Vinny missed a high kick. Nasty high kick by Marshall that Magalhaes blocked. Double jab by Marshall. Marshall went for a takedown and got kneed. Crowd really quick to boo. All standing so far. Magalhaes kicked Mashall in the back. More parrying. Marshall with a high kick that was blocked. Marshall threw a series and one punch landed. Even round, 10-9 Marshall.
Magalhaes pulled him into the corner and went for a takedown but couldn't get it. Body kicks by Magalhaes. Another body kick by Magalhaes and Marshall back with two punches. Crowd booing again. Magalhaes is bleeding from the nose and the ear. Magalhaes finally got the takedown and ground and pound. He briefly had the mount and connected with solid punches on the ground late in the round. 10-9 Magalhaes so I've got it even going into round three.
Trading. Marshall throwing more punches although they aren't landing. He finally snuck one in. Magalhaes looks tired. Good body kick by Marshall. Marshall is coming on with low kicks and punches. Crowd booing again. Not much of a fight. No chance this makes it to the PPV. Magalhaes back with body kicks and now Marshall jabbing him again. Marshall continues to throw, connected with a punch off a missed Magalhaes kick. Anther body kick by Marhslal. Magalhaes got the takedown side mount and full mojnt with ten seconds left. I don't know if he did enough damage in the last ten seconds to offset the round. I'd go with Marshall in the round and fight 29-28.
Scores were 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27 for Marshall. The right guy won but no way Magalhaes shouldn't have won round two so I don't get the scores.

The Matt Wiman vs. Sam Stout opener was moved later in the show because Stout was so over at the weigh-ins. Now it's going to have to take place on the main card because the other prelims have gone so long. The last time that happened was in Sacramento when Kenny Florian vs. Alvin Robinson ended up taking place after the Anderson Silva vs. Nate Marquardt title match (thanks to Dan Gearin for this trivia). They moved the start time from 8 p.m. to 7:30 yesterday, but today changed it again, compromising to a 7:45 start because the tickets said 8. There have been no features or post-match interviews so far in the show because they recognized early they were rushed for time.

We heard scalpers bought on a ton because of the demand from the first show and the last few days you could get tickets anywhere for 60% of the listed price and even at that price tons were still unsold as of yesterday.

Lucha Report 18/04
NEWS
Juventud Guerrera held his press conference yesterday and said that he is planning a lawsuit against Jack Evans & Konnan personally but not AAA as a business then went on to talk about everything that happened in the locker room that night. Fuerza Guerrera then blamed AAA for knowing about this and not doing anything about it and that the commissions will ban Konnan once everything is said and done. There is more to come I’m sure.
Perro Aguayo Jr. stated on Thursday that he doesn’t know what the future of Cibernetico is with Perros del Mal after next week because that is when his contract runs out with them and doesn’t know if he will return or not. Perrito said though that he thinks a return to AAA is eminent especially after his tour of the United States with the promotion a couple of weeks ago. Perrito said that even though they have had problems over the last week in matches, they would continue to work as a team on the shows they are booked for because that is what was advertised and he believes in fulfilling obligations. Perrito said that he hopes that Ciber will be a professional for this week like he has been for most of the time with PdM because it was there that he was accepted in open arms after he quit AAA.

Dos Caras Jr. told Box y Lucha that the fans are booing him unjustly because Hector Garza is the real screwup and he should be booed because he doesn’t know what to do in the ring and as the captain of the team, he had to put him in his place. Dos said that Hector kicked him in the rib by mistake and knocked the breath out of him but he gave him the benefit of the doubt until these mistakes happened more and more and he couldn’t take it anymore. Dos said that the fans don’t understand what he was going through and that he was left alone as La Mascara took Garza’s side along with the fans so he is on his own right now. Dos said that he isn’t a rudo and that if the fans want to start back cheering for him then he would accept it but he isn’t going to beg them to cheer him because he was tired of his partners screwing up. Dos said that he didn’t mean to fight with La Mascara but he didn’t know if Mascara meant any ill will or not because he is a regular partner of Garza and probably would take his side anyway. Dos said that anyone in the locker room that agrees with Garza is directly an enemy now. Dos said that La Jauria del Terror invited him to join their faction but he said that he is infinitely better than team and doesn’t need any faction to back him up. Dos said that he is the most complete fighter in EMLL and that if he has to team with rudos it is because the fans aren’t giving him any respect.
Espectro de Ultratumba told Box y Lucha that he was forced to leave AAA because they never booked him on shows and he must find a way to support his family. Espectro said that AAA put him in the gimmick picking him out of 20 guys for a debut last December in Chilpancingo and since then refused to use him, which made him angry because he thought this would’ve been a breakout opportunity but they put the freeze on him. Espectro said that he did everything they asked of him but they wouldn’t give him work and after 10 years of wrestling he felt he had to leave instead of wasting his time waiting for the phone to ring. Espectro said that all AAA cares about these days is the guys they book for TV and that whoever doesn’t fit in those plans are pretty much out in the cold so he is now an independent.
Picudo told Box y Lucha that AAA was his life and he was there as the company was built piece by piece but sadly he has decided to leave the company and will be working for Perros del Mal due to AAA deciding not to use him anymore. Picudo said that the lack of bookings has led to him stretching to support his family so now being an independent contractor he can work as much as he can to keep his family fed. Picudo said that Perros del Mal is giving him a chance to do what he wants and he is forming a newer version of Los Vatos Locos with some younger talent and that even though Perro Aguayo Jr. is his boss, he still hasn’t forgot him taking his mask and later his hair so there is some debts to be paid. Picudo said that since the youth has taken over AAA they have cared less for the older wrestlers even family members of Antonio Pena even the ones that train their young wrestlers and that even though he has left AAA, he will still be training young wrestlers and will help them get work with the independents.

Nasce la Dragon Gate USA
La Dragon Gate ha annunciato la nascita di Dragon Gate USA, la quale svolgerà 6-7 shows per anno utilizzando Gabe Sapolsky come booker.
L'idea è di portare 8 wrestlers dal Giappone per ogni show,concentrarsi in 3/4 mercati e riempire gli shows con wrestlers delle indipendenti.
Satoshi Oji sarà il President of the organization e Toru Kito sarà il CFO.
Il primo show andrà in scena il 25 Luglio all'Alhambra Arena in Philadelphia, con Dragon Kid, Cima, Masato Yoshino e Naruki Doi fra i partecipanti.
Il secondo show avrà luogo al Labor Day weekend in Chicago.
I piani prevedono di mettere su dai 6 ai 7 match per show con i Giapponesi nel ME.
L'obiettivo è di ottenere dai 400 ai 600 fans per show, contando sulla popolarità che la Dragon Gate ha già negli USA.

Hulk Hogan: un uomo, una vergogna
Il sempre più patetico Hulk Hogan ha rilasciato delle dichiarazioni sconcertanti e per le quali nemmeno i suoi fans più accaniti possono difenderlo:
Parlando di sua moglie Linda, si è riferito al omicido perpetuato da OJ Simpson ai danni della moglie e del compagno Ron Goldman.
Hogan ha dichiarato:"Avrei potuto far diventare tutto uns scnea del crimine, come OJ, tagliando le gole di tutti", citazione dal New York Post. "Vivi a mezzo miglio dalla casa di 20,000 sqaure foot (fate voi i calcoli...) in cui non puoi più andare, giri nei pressi di Clearwater e vedi un diciannovenne che guida la tua Escalade e sei conscio che un diciannovenne dorme con tua moglie. Capisco totalmente OJ. L'ho capito."
Post in lingua originale:
In talking about his split from wife Linda, he referenced the murder of football legend OJ Simpson's murdering of his wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. Hogan said, "I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like O.J., cutting everybody's throat," he said, per the New York Post. "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife… I totally understand O.J. I get it."

Bonaduce-TNA Update
Il match Danny Bonaduce vs. Eric Young andrà in scena nel pre game show di Lockdown. Precedentemente a questa scelata l'idea era di relegarlo al ruolo di dark match del ppv, poichè non si voleva "contaminare" un evento dello stile di Lockdown con un comedy match. Dopo le richieste di spiegazionei da parte di Bonaduce e le conseguenti lamentele, il match è stato spostato al pre game show di mezz'ora che precederà il PPV.
Strikeforce from San Jose Shamrock vs. Diaz live report 11/4
Welcome to our live coverage of the Strikeforce show from the HP Pavilion in San Jose. We're looking for your thoughts on the show so you can leave a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle along with a best and worst match to dave@wrestlingobserver.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
Some early notes. There are about 2,500 seats covered by curtains to even if the place is full it's not going to be the record, so we're looking at 16,000 max. Jimmy Lennon Jr. is only doing the Showtime ring announcing so Stu Ganz, who was the WWF ring announcer here in the 80s and 90s is doing it just like a WWF event. Think Howard Finkel doing MMA, particularly when he announced the next show for May 15th in Fresno and he did that next card in Madison Square Garden cadence from the 70s and 80s as they plugged Kim "Sugar Free" Couture against Meisha Tate.
Bantamweights: Shingo Kohara b Jeremy Tavares in a bantweight match with a knockout with a left hook at :04 of the second round
Welterweights: James Terry vs. Zac Bucia
30-27 Terry across the board. Ganz announced 30-27 across the board for Bucia by accident. Howard Finkel never had to read judges scorecards dramatically.
Middleweights: Brandon Michaels vs. Raul Castillo (not the half of the Castillo Brothers tag team)
Royce Gracie, Tito Ortiz and Tom Atencio all just arrived. Michaels the heel to this crowd. Michaels with a shaved head and tattoos, making him like every prelim fighter in the U.S. and half the crowd, although I have to say, not half this crowd. Michaels failed to make weight.
Castillo with an immediately takedown, got mount and pounding his head. Now has a choke and it's over. 1:45 was the time.
Middleweights: Eric Lawson vs. Waylon Kennell
Lawson is the crowd favorite and he's throwing punches from the clinch. Loud "Let's go Lawson" chant. Kennell stopped that by throwing hard knees. Kennell went for a takedown by Lawson on top. Lawson dropped him with a punch and nearly took an up kick going in, but now on top and pounding. Kennell seems to have regained his bearings. Lawson tried a sloppy takedown and took some punches for his mistake. Good trade and now Kennell getting the better of it and Kennell got a takedown but Lawson reversed. Kennell going for a triangle but has nothing on it yet. Now going for an armbar from the bottom. Lawson was in trouble and escaped. Kennell pounding him from the top. Kennell has the armbar and this looks like trouble but Lawson escaped. Now Lawson is on top and pounding. He's got the full mount and throwing punch after punch. Mc Carthy stopped the fight with six seconds left in the round (4:54). Standing ovation. Freaking great fight.
Middleweights: Luke Rockhold vs. Buck Meredith
Rockhold is the crowd favorite. Rockhold with a Lou Thesz back suplex and on top. Now he's got his back working for a choke. He had the figure four body scissors but Meredith got out. Rockhold has his back again. Now he's closer to a choke. Tried it again and Meredith got out. Half nelson by Rockhold but let it got. He tried another choke and this time got it. (4:07)

Renato Sobral was booed kind of a lot. Cung Le was cheered wildly. Gina Carano was cheered a lot, but not as much as Le. Royce Gracie got a respectable pop. They didn't show Mickey Rourke or Royce Gracie who are talking at ringside.
Heavyweights: Brett Rogers vs. Abongo Humphrey
This is probably not going to last long. Humphrey has a star look but he's giving away a lot of size here. Rogers cut yesterday to get to 262.5, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's 275. Humphrey introduced as being off the Iron Ring TV show on BET. Herb Dean got a bigger pop than either fighter.
