Thanks to Ashley Colton for these exclusive pictures of the new TNA Impact set at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. You'll notice one major change is that TNA will no longer have two separate entranceways leading to the ring, but rather one large entranceway with two tunnels leading to it.​

Gay. I liked the two tunnels better. I'm guessing they want to try and fit more people into the "arena", but still. The two tunnels thing was badass lol. The heel ramp looked cool.

Anyway, this looks alright. I can't judge for sure until I see it on TV though

I like it sorta.

I did like the two tunnel thing because it took us back to how wrestling use to be where the face's came out on one side and the heels on the other but as chess point out its probably so they can get more people in there.

But I'll also fully judge the set when I see it on TV.

that's ridiculously awesome. I don't know why they would renovate it if they plan on leaving it soon anyways for their new iMPACT! arena in Nashville or w/e

This is awesome...finally TNA did something good. I thin kthis is the best thing TNA has done this year...and I'm serious. Good set, I'll tune into Impact for 5 minutes just to see it.

the new set is because of HD. It looks much better, much clearer, much bolder, MUCH MORE like a wrestling show set. Good work

How can you say its much clearer when you have seen a few pics which aren't really that good quality?

I was hoping it would be brighter as I think the darkness of the old arena was terrible. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what it looks like next iMPACT

WHOA!! I love it! Wait! Please tell me there is only one entrance. There's two pics of the entrance, but I can't tell if they're the same spot, or if they got a different part of the set from the same angle. I hope there's only one.

So I guess one large entrance way but two large tunnels leading to it ? So I guess one face guy for example will come out on the right and one heel on the left? :s. Kinda confusing I did like the old one but who knows this one might be likeable too just needs to be tested out first and needs some getting used to for sure. Though does look great with that new tron.

Great.... That should counteract the terrible storylines and dodgy booking.

I thought the iMpact Zone looked very good on HD and think that the changes are definately a big step in the right direction for TNA. In a related note, I also felt that the new "Main Event Mafia" Stable along with Mick's new position were two good moves on their part. I'm impressed and interested to see where this goes.

Most people would probably ask, who cares about the two seperate ramps being combined into one? The answer would be,I do. That made the TNA entrances unique in their own way.

Nonetheless, the new set makes TNA look like a more established company, nice set there.

It reminds me of NWA's entrance ramps. TNA are trying to hard to improve, but they never get to what the plan was set to acheive. I think its something to do with their in-patience.

I'm talking about the fact that you can clearly see the impact and tna logo, dodgy photo or not.
