File this one under ?NOT Best For Business? - TNA is being forced to take Impact Wrestling back on the road because all of the sound stages at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida are booked up through the end of 2014.

 
Back in November, TNA announced that Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida would once again be the home of Impact Wrestling, the company?s new training center and the hub of their new Impact 365 social media campaign. They taped several shows at a new Universal Studios sound stage in December and are scheduled to tape the next batch of Impact shows later this month from Huntsville, Alabama (including the live ?Genesis? special) before heading to the UK for another round of tapings. It was expected that they?d be returning to Orlando after the UK tour.
 
This is going to result in TNA incurring very high costs until they can find a new regular venue for their flagship show.

 

I was preparing the headdesk gif for this, but while it's not "best for business", it will be at least best for the show. The crowds at Universal Studios are awful; the NXT Arena has a better crowd atmosphere and that's in a bloody university! Taking it back on the road will mean better crowds and ergo, a better show. Maybe they should just forget about trying to head back when the bookings free up and find somewhere new to reside; somewhere where they have a bigger following. They're more popular in Texas, and hell, that's where TNA's owners (Panda Energy) are. There's obviously other places where they're more popular (here in the UK, for example), but they'll obviously want to stay in the US.

Impact needs to be live again. I actually quite enjoyed it when it was live.

Definitely. (Y) Annoying that over the past couple of months, the live episodes of Impact have been essentially relegated to the specials that were formerly PPVs of their own. Thankfully the next one (Genesis) is only 11 days away. Then the next one a fortnight later when they tour the UK; it's in Scotland, so it should be a good'un. :P

I do not like what they did to Bryan's character by him joining the Wyatt clan. He's the most over wrestler in recent memory and what do they do? They pretty much kill that by having him turn heal essentially. I don't get it. Stupid!!!

 

I also don't get why The Miz has gone from being a WWE Champion and a good one at that. I enjoyed his reign. To doing dark matches. WTF happened?!?!

 

We need more Ziggler and Miz and less Ryback and Curtis Axel.

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Circaflex · Posted

      I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?

      I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)

      Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
