Just took an interesting survey from WWE about the Performance Center. They were asking how different locations, what you like to do there and how often you visit. This turned into them asking about opening the Performance Center in one of these locations and it having tours and events open to the public. There would be a portion that would have things like memorabilia, a store and other activities. If certain add-ons were bought there were other things like meet and greets, watching training, an arcade with past video games, and walking down an entrance stage were there.
It would also be a mixed use center that could hold concerts, shows, conventions or be rented out along with being developed with offices, restaurant and hotels around it.
Anyway the part y'all probably want to know the most, the cities/areas they are looking at:
Orlando
Tampa
Nashville
Atlanta
Dallas

Interesting options. I question what the point of doing it in Orlando or Tampa would be, given they already have a Performance Center in Florida. It'd make sense to be a little bit more geographically spread to do this, wouldn't it?

Triple H is already wanting to go back to his global NXT idea, this is about using money to corner the market.

honestly one thing I'd like to see them build is a physical wrestling hall of fame with a wrestling prop museum.
the wrestling prop museum would be easy as they have a hell of a lot of stuff hidden away in their warehouse, and could easily start buying up stuff (like the original tna six sided ring if Dixie didnt have it melted down in an attempt to turn it into gold via alchemy.) from other promotions.
it's not the stupidest way to make money from things they have that is just sat gathering dust.

I think Triple H and Steph having more power makes that a lot more possible now than it was before. Even if only a pop-up Hall of Fame kind of thing they rent a hall and sell tickets for during Mania and Summerslam weekend. The whole "the Hall of Fame is right here in my head" thing seems like a very Vince idea and I expect there'll be some significant changes to the HoF and how it's all handled in the next couple yuears. |

HHH was the one sent to talk to the holdout wrestlers who wanted nothing to do with vince but managed to get them to agree to do the h.o.f ceremony so I think he may have an attachment to it more than we know. |

I think he has attachment to the idea of it, because HHH is a big history guy, but he also made those strategic moves to try and raise his value. Bringing in Warrior and Bruno were huge steps in proving himself during a time where he was auditioning for the heir apparent role. But celebrating that history has always been more a Triple H thing than a Vince thing. Vince likes to run from the past and the HOF was always more of a thank you he set up for people loyal to him. Triple H feels like he'll do more with it. |

I have no doubt he could do more with it than Vince would, Vince had an obvious shiny new toy instantly discard the last new shiny toy problem that anyone who watched wwe for any length of time could see. |

When I went to Mania and went to Axxess, they had the Taker HOF like chamber you can get into (I think I posted pics on here) and it was just a small fraction of shit you can imagine they have. They had his throne, the shit they used kill Bearer when Taker poured cement on him, all the caskets he used for casket matches etc |

Just move it to the middle of South Dakota like Warehouse 13. Come on, it only gets a few degrees above absolute zero here in the winter time.  |

If they wanted to go all in on making it a tourist type attraction, Orlando seems like a no-brainer. It's not even a direct competition with Disney or Universal since those are the big things driving people to central Florida anyway, and if they market themselves as a rainy day activity or basically something to add on in the same way all the other smaller scale things in Orlando are, it would probably work well.
It's not as if WWE couldn't afford real estate on I-Drive or downtown Orlando. If they really wanted to go balls out, throw the money at NBCUniversal to get a spot in CityWalk, which would be weirdly ironic considering how much Universal Studios has been a sort-of mecca for TNA and AEW. Only way we could come even more full circle is if they also did performance center tapings at that same soundstage.

It's not a bad idea in theory - the minor leagues in baseball have A, AA, and AAA leagues, and each location could serve that purpose. It'd be an investment, but if you charged admission for entry and then had some sort of other upsells as part of the tour, it might be a money maker.
