According to a new report posted over at ProWrestling.net, TNA has been giving serious consideration to pulling the road Impact Wrestling tapings and returning to the old format of taping the show from one location.

As of now, Las Vegas and Impact's previous home of Orlando are the two cities being considered for Impact's new home base, and the report notes that the move to pull the tapings from the road is expected to take place by early next year at the latest. The move would be a cost cutting measure.

Wow, so now TNA will go back to having no exposure in the country while being taped from one city every single week

I think that is a bad idea. I mean seriously, what are they thinking?

Well all this financial restructuring is meant to be so they can stay on the road, so I hope they do stay on the road. They have dates set all the way until February next year, so hopefully it'll continue. Backstage figures just need a refresh.

They jumped the gun on hitting the road, anyway. The exposure's been good, but it's clear they've been losing money every show. Establishing a loyal, stationary fanbase will help out a lot. It worked for ECW, it worked for TNA in the past, and it's working well for NXT.

Personally, I support any cost-cutting measure that doesn't involve firing people who literally broke their necks for your company.

Also saw that they might possibly be heading back to the Asylum.

I don't see a problem with heading back to Nashville.

Considering they were taping IMpact on the road every once in a while, i dont see them going on the road full time as jumping the gun. ECW mainly stuck to the east coast, thats why they had that loyal fanbase.

I called it. I said that this was going to happen sooner or later, and it is.

Seems all we talk about is talent being paid late, numerous releases, a number of contracts coming to an end, or the backstage reaction involving Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. This might be the final nail in the coffin.

Of course they jumped the gun, otherwise they wouldn't be considering going back to how it was before. They took their show on the road when they weren't big enough to pull a profit that way, just like they tried going head-to-head with Raw on Mondays when they weren't big enough to do that. Both times the move was way too soon in their development and did more harm than good.

What TNA should have done was slowly move out of the impact zone. only go out like a state away from it and every few months go out a little more far from it.

^ thats what they WERE doing, they were taping shows every once in a while from a different location then returning to Orlando

they should have continue it...but they stopped it too soon and went far than they should have.

They basically took a huge risk and (as expected) it went south. Who's idea was it to have TNA on the road? Who's idea was it to have TNA go against Raw?

Hogan and Bischoff.

They got into Dixie Carter's ear and told her that all this was a good idea, and it was. It was good on paper, at least, but when you start to look at the reality of it all, they realize that they're spending way too much money and they played this too fast. You're not supposed to rush things simply because you think you have sufficient funds to do it. Thi-this was really careless on their part, and now it's costing them AJ Styles and (soon) a number of superstars to follow after.
