TNA and Universal Studios have opened discussions regarding the promotion returning to the old iMPACT! Zone in November to tape several episodes of iMPACT! Wrestling. The word is that the company is looking to tape anywhere from four to six episodes of iMPACT! during the week of November 21st.
The iMPACT! Zone was located at Universal Studios Soundstage 21 in Orlando. At this time, the studio is being used as a Resident Evil haunted house for Universal’s Halloween Horrors until November 2nd.
At this time there is no confirmation that a deal is official. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more. Stay tuned!
They should mix it up. Film some Impacts in their next home, but still do some on the road like the go-home and fallout shows for PPVsMeh. It's nothing wrong with it. It beats losing money in a failed attempt to profit on the road. They still need to look into a permanent solution though.
<------------------- Florida baby, lolThis is good news. For some reason, I thought someone rented out that sound stage and they couldn't get it back. Permanently rented it out, I mean.
So look, TNA snatched defeat from the jaws of victory here, we all know that. But still, this is good news.
It'll keep them solvent, it'll be cool to see the new design, and I wouldn't worry about the crowd either. If you go to the amusement park, you're going there to be AMUSED. Therefore I would argue that if you think wrestling is amusing enough to go to the Impact taping, you are a real wrestling fan. The crowds won't be terrible.
I admit they won't be great but the real story with TNA right now is that it's getting a lot better! That positive cancels out the negative about moving back to this location.
That's what I was saying I hope they do better make the Impact zone feel packed and get rid the the shitty entrance they use to haveTNA's production sucks. That's the problem, not the size of the venue, not lack of funding - shit production, incompetence. Early Nitro's were in places smaller than the Impact Zone but WCW made them look and feel great.
Seems like returning is the best option at the momentPWInsider said:The word making the way around those in TNA is that the promotion will tape a number of Impact episodes in mid-late November at the Impact Zone.
Depending on the market, planned or announced tapings would either be canceled or converted into house shows.
TNA is still working out their final plans before making any official announcements
Exactly (Y) Stuff doesn't always work outhey they tried going on the road, it didn't quite work out, go back to the IZ, reboot after BFG save some cash and in a couple of years, give it another shot.
Right. And they can still do the odd television taping at another location with the IZ as their main location. Say, Once every three months? And slowly, as the markets become more and more dependable for them, they can ease their way back on the road in the future, doing more and more shows.hey they tried going on the road, it didn't quite work out, go back to the IZ, reboot after BFG save some cash and in a couple of years, give it another shot.
You just insulted a lot of people man. That's not cool.Anyone with a brain knew national touring would be a disaster. People are willing to watch TNA but not spend money on it. Look at their house show and PPV business. Their fanbase is mile wide and an inch deep.
That's good for you, man. I'm not the biggest TNA fan, but if I could get a free show every so often I'd go as often as possible.<------------------- Florida baby, loll
But hell I'm happy as shit, now I can get those year long Universal passes & go watch TNA every week if they actually end up moving back there for most of their shows. :mark:
Hells yeah
