- TNA President Dixie Carter gave a speech to the TNA crew before the Lockdown PPV last night mentioning the company clearing Eurosport in Europe and painting an overall positive future of the company in the coming months. Carter also asked the TNA wrestlers to work hard because a number of top network executives had their "eyes on the company" and that everyone was doing their most to get a deal done. TNA's newly appointed Vice President Frank Dickerson was also at the PPV event last night and was introducted to the wrestlers before the show began as well.

- One TNA staff member described the backstage atmosphere at the Lockdown PPV last night in Orlando as "close to Victory Road" as far as the level of excitement and overall hard work put in to the PPV by all the members of the TNA crew. Many TNA wrestlers wanted to do their best to "wash their hands" so to speak of the Destination X PPV last month that was considered a huge disappointment among many.

- It should be noted that a number of those backstage at the Lockdown PPV last night noticed a somewhat positive change in the locker room after the release of Kid Kash last week.
