TNA management held a meeting for talent this afternoon in Salt Lake City, Utah, informing them that the current run of on the road Impact tapings would be ending after the next taping in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Talent were told they would be working Orlando, Florida tapings on 11/21-11/23 and that dates were also being locked in for December tapings also in Orlando.
While TNA will be returning to Universal Studios, the word we are hearing is that it will not be the same Soundstage that housed the Impact Zone, but a different space. One would be smaller length-wise but be a wider space on the inside.
Update: According to sources close to Universal Studios, TNA has not yet locked in where they will be running their tapings. There are several (3 I believe) soundstages they can use, but which one has not been locked in. They will not be back at the same Soundstage 21 that housed the Impact Zone.
With so little live events being scheduled over the next few months, TNA talents have been reaching out to different independent promoters trying to book indy dates. One of the biggest issues there is that TNA will not let their talents work for any groups if the footage is filmed for iPPV or DVD. So, unless they are in "dark" segments, that will limit where the talents can work, and might lock them out of most of the higher-profile, better paying independent groups.
The belief among talents is that house shows will pick up again after the European tour.
The 12/27 Philadelphia taping will instead be a house show.
