News has filtered in about what very well could be TNA's last set of Impact tapings on Spike TV, and possibly their last at all. Despite getting rave reviews for their television product of late, attendance wasn't near where TNA wanted it to be, with reports of tickets being given away outside the arena. People who had paid for seats further back in the arena were also moved up so the attendance would look better on TV. Other reports also stated that the crowd was dead for the August 6 tapings, while perfectly fine for the others. Dixie Carter was indeed backstage for the set of tapings, but didn't appear on camera. Carter was seemingly written off of TV during the last set of tapings in an episode of Impact in which will air this week. Rapper Wale and television host Sherri Shepherd were both in the Manhattan Center for the tapings, as Shepherd was seen publicly tweeting him for tickets last week. MVP appeared on a program Shepherd hosted years ago, and the two have remained friends since. Both Yoshihiro Tajiri and Chris Melendez were brought in to perform at these tapings, and Jessica Havok made her debut in an episode that will air in mid-September.
