As you can see, Lockdown was by far the most purchased TNA pay-per-view of the year.

TNA drew an average of 28,600 buys per pay-per-view in 2008, up from last year's figure of 26,545 (through November 2007).

- 23,000 for Against All Odds (Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle)

- 36,000 for Destination X (Christian Cage vs. Kurt Angle)

- 35,000 for Lockdown (Team Angle vs. Team Cage)

- 21,000 for Sacrifice (Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Christian Cage)

- 22,000 for Slammiversary (King of the Mountain Match)

- 15,000 for Victory Road (Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle vs. Team 3D)

- 26,000 for Hard Justice (Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle)

- 27,000 for Genesis (Sting and Booker T vs. Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash)

-- TNA officials are giving the the "Feast or Fired" gimmick a lot of credit for drawing Impact's record audience on 12/4. It's pretty much a guarantee it will be become an annual tradition and pushed as a bigger deal next year. Also, TNA has plans to play off the briefcase winners similar to WWE's "Money in the Bank" stips in the future in that the winner will have one year to collect and get their title match any time they choose.

-- As reported earlier, Frankie "Kaz" Kazarian is now engaged to Tracy Brooks (Brookshaw). Brooks confirmed the news on her Facebook account. A number of people in TNA were said to be shocked upon hearing the news, as they had no idea. Brooks & Kazarian were paired together on television in 2004.
