How big of a draw is Kurt Angle for TNA?

This is semi-accurate actually. I watch TNA every week because I love wrestling and watch just about everything wrestling related on my tv. I haven't missed an episode of RAW, Smackdown!, or Impact in damn near 3 years. Honestly I think TNA is like you said, a supplement for "hardcore wrestling fans" to watch since WWE doesn't do anything on Thursdays.

Although I do think that Hardy probably draws a little bit for them. Not on a level that actually matters, but I'm sure that if he left their ratings would go down a tiny bit.

So I was thinking about who should headline the Lockdown 2013. Obviously it's gonna be Aces & Eights vs Team Hogan for the Leathal Lockdown match itself, the other big match will be the World Title. Do you think that March is enough time to start building up an Angle vs Hardy match for the world title? What about a semi main between Angle vs RVD for the X Division title (I think they stopped caring about the "weight class" for the X Division)

It could easily be done, but knowing TNA they'll throw him in with team Hogan. The X Division on the other hand is possible, but I think (or at least hope) that they are using RVD to build some credibility to the belt and will have someone "new" take him out as a rub. Would love Angle to go heel again though. His best work has always been as a heel in my eyes.
