Petey Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This is from PWInsider.com... TNA will not be taping Impact Wrestling at Universal Studios Orlando anytime soon, PWInsider.com has confirmed. According to multiple sources, TNA will not be returning to any of Universal's sound-stages as they were unable to secure any dates for 2014 due to the sound-stages being booked out for other productions already. TNA returned to Universal to tape a number of Impact Wrestling episodes at the end of last year. At the time, TNA's press releases presented Universal as being the "hub" of their Impact 365 social media campaign and noted that the company would have a training center in that market as well. The Impact episodes taped at Universal Studios will conclude with this Thursday's edition of Impact. TNA will tape several episodes later this month in Huntsville, Alabama, including a live "Genesis" themed episode before heading to Europe at the end of the month for their annual tour, where they will tape a number of episodes as well. From there, it appears Impact will be back on the road, unless the company is able to find a new regular home for the tapings, because as of now, Universal Studios won't be home base.

It's now moving past sad at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Vegas would be fitting on one level, but then on the other hand, AWA was once a hugely successful promotion. What condition is the GlobalDome in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Vegas would be fitting on one level, but then on the other hand, AWA was once a hugely successful promotion. What condition is the GlobalDome in? Branson, MO would also work. Come see the stars of TNA wrestling and stay afterwards to see Tony Orlando & Dawn in concert. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Cibernetico Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The Arena is not possible as The Arena has hosted its last wrestling event some years ago. The Asylum was torn down YEARS ago, so that is not an option. Vegas is a good location and I am sure Viacom can work something out for TNA as Bellator holds a lot of shows there. A very interesting time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Arena just reopened so that could be a possibility down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 TNA needs to go rip off Chikara and disappear for a few months. Evil Panda shutting them down and Spike kicks them off for Smackdown while Eric Young leads the resistance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 They could do a big PDF like Chikara but that would be a waste of 4 mb that could be better used by Mookieghana crunching some data on how many matches Bret Hart won by roll up or something. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm sure there are plenty of flea markets in Orlando that would be willing to block off a section of the parking lot for TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Wonder if the tape another episode of Impact after the Genesis Impact. Also I'd imagine they'd tape a few weeks of Impact while they are in The UK later this week. can tape a whole months of TV , and search for a new location.

Cobra Commander Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 they could sneak into the closed-since-2006 Mid-South Coliseum and film hours upon hours of TV until the police show up to shut them down 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure they announced they were taping 6 weeks of shows in the UK so in theory that would buy them some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Not to go full TNA fanboy mode here but making them find a place where they could get a paid audience every week is for the best. Being an attraction at an amusement park was not a long term solution. If they could get a building and be there every week it'll help them pull back some of the fans that have given up on them.

It's funny because part of me thinks we'll still be discussing TNA five-ten years from now.. but it really does seem like a dire situation. I was looking at their roster the other day and I have no clue what direction they take some of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 TNA's really close to reaching CZW status of being a company best built to survive a nuclear holocaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie20x6 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 WWE succeeded for a long time by having a bunch of random matches, filmed all over the country, thrown together and wrapped around with interviews and studio hosts. I don't know why a company that doesn't have PPV feels the need to keep trying to produce their version of Monday Night RAW every week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
