I doubt they'd be doing this with profit in mind. NXT and the Performance Center, when operating as they should, are loss leaders. Invest in promising young talent now in the hopes they become big money makers in the future.

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? I've been to the Performance Center once, and I can tell you that the facility they are currently using really isn't suited for what they are doing with it right now, ever since they started filming shows there with an audience of a couple hundred fans. There isn't even close to adequate parking for full capacity, with fans having to be bused in from off site. There is also only one set of bathrooms in the whole building, which I'm sure isn't easy to work around on show days between the couple hundred fans and all the talent. And that's not getting into the money on the table of doing tours with dedicated spaces for exhibits on a regular basis, or being able to offer more seats for each NXT show, or even having the PC located somewhere that isn't in the industrial area of Winter Park, FL.

A city named "Winter Park" in one of the hottest states in America is such an amusing irony.

The old FCW building which was close to MacDill AFB was the same way too, next to a bunch of distribution centers and semis right off busy Dale Mabry, but far from the main areas of Tampa, and I thought the Performance Center was supposed to improve upon that.
