TNA is considering taking Impact Wrestling back to a singular location, PWInsider.com has confirmed. There are currently discussions about several different locations the company could film out of regularly as they continue to re-evaluate financially. If the company moves forward with that plan, they would probably pull the trigger after the UK tour at the onset of 2014. The most notable location discussed internally? Orlando, Florida, of course. I don't believe the old Asylum is in the running, but it's possible. The word always was that Dixie Carter wasn't a fan of the venue.

TNA proving that they have no idea how to budget and no idea how to do some long term planning. Surely they would have worked out all the costs involved with renting arenas, live tv production, advertising etc before they made this move on to the road. I shouldn't be surprised when this company frequently allows top stars contracts to expire, including some whilst they are champion.

Please TNA hire a business manager and hire JR to run the wrestling side of the business.

Let me guess that they will blame it on guys like AJ, Aries, Roode etc. rather than ignoring the real issue with Hogan, Bischoff, Sting etc. They need to realise soon that being WWE Lite won't work, they need to be an alternative as that is what made them popular in the beginning.

This is a total shambles, but really they need to give it more of a go than this. To me its more a issue with the product being so poor than it costing them too much to take it on the road.

This company is so hilarious, I don't get how people keep calling for it to die because it's the most entertaining thing going in the wrestling business right now because of things like this.

I can't wait until someone gives the idea to Dixie that they should start touring High Schools.

Can't do that. I think ROH has a strangle hold on the High School Gym market.

Either way, this isn't surprising at all. They started touring every week, then it was every other week and now it's possibly going back to Orlando. It seems like for every step TNA takes forward; they take two back.

The writing may be on the wall for TNA. WCW wasn't smart enough to see the writing on the wall. Hopefully TNA is.

Difference is WCW never should have been in a position where they could have gone out of business, even when they won't kicking WWF's arse they were still normally an strong number two company. TNA has never been anyway near that and it would be no surprise if they went under, but I hope they don't as its better for the wrestling biz for guys and girls to have different places to work.
