Impact Wrestling Targeting Small Crowd for Bound For Glory PPV

Impact head Ed Nordholm said in an interview with the Ottawa Citizen that the company is currently targeting a goal of at least 500 people in the crowd for both Bound For Glory and the following Impact tapings in Ottawa, Canada. GFW will be holding events over the course of six days starting with Bound For Glory on November 5th and then Impact TV tapings from November 6th to November 10th.

Nordholm also said that they picked the Aberdeen Pavilion in Ottawa and not a larger arena due to costs and knowing that they would have a hard time filling a bigger venue. He also feels that a smaller location will do a better job creating the crowd intimacy the company wants for their upcoming events.

“We’re legacy people.It’s a great facility with a rich history. An arena would be a big place for us to sell. We want to have a venue with an intimacy with the crowd. The crowd will pack it rather than be spread out through it. It’s just the right size, it’ll ensure we can get people in the stands where they’ll have a connection with our wrestlers and vice-versa.

It’s night after night after night, we’d maybe look at it differently (if it was just the pay-per-view). We wanted to make sure even by the last night, there was still a good crowd and a good feeling.”
