UK Taping news

TNA is doing six weeks of tapings in the U.K. instead of four. The schedule now is to tape 1/30 in Glasgow for shows that will air on 1/30 and 2/6; 1/31 in Manchester for shows that will air on 2/13 and 2/20, and 2/1 in London at Wembley Arena for shows that will air on 2/27 and 3/6. That means that after 2/1, there won’t be another TV shoot until an almost live show on 3/13. The original plan for the 1/31 show was a taping of the British Empire Cup PPV.

Going a little overboard with the tapings.

Hey... I think they should go further. Do a years worth of taping at once, then they can just fire everybody.

That was Wrestling Society X strategy wasn't it? How'd that turn out?

Doesn't exactly sound good.

Aren't the fans going to be confused as f***? They wouldn't have seen the past few weeks shows



Or will the shows feature very little storyline/ most of the progression in pretapes the audience won't see??

TNA have faced a lot of setbacks recently so need a bit of a pick-me-up and having impacts filmed in front of a hot live crowd will add some life to the TV product. Lets face it, it's not like they'll be losing money by not holding US tapings in the new Impact Zone until March.

If these crowds turn out to be just as hot as their previous UK shows all the way from the first taping to the last, they may as well just move to the U.K full time.

Excellent. Going to the Glasgow one, so getting two episodes is a nice bonus.
