Hopefully the set won't be made out of cardboard.

First PPV in New York....and it's for a taped PPV that'll be shown many months later.

Does TNA not make any sense any more? Apparently Genesis is going to be at Orlando and everyone knows that the crowds are pathetic there especially for PPVs. The live ones need to be on the road.

Oh finally TNA listens about using small arenas for tapings. Too bad they're for shows that are going to be shown many months later.

Going back to Orlando is pretty much a huge step back, but they messed everything up with the road tapings to a point where they had to go back to a permanent location. I'd have preferred somewhere else where they could actually sell tickets and draw actual fans in, not bored tourists who have no idea on what to do, and the better have a good stage this time and not some cardboard mess. They have not ruled out future road tapings, but they really need to pay attention to where they should be doing this. Doing them in the middle of nowhere where they haven't proven that TNA sells tickets there was a complete disaster. I expect Cincinnati to do well tonight, maybe 3-4,000 and that would be acceptable compared to the low numbers drawn before. They didn't promote the shows well enough to be honest.

Not really a fan of One Night Only continuing, they need to do six live PPVs, doing four did not help them a single bit, and Bound for Glory was booked at the last minute as well thanks to the creative changes. They're just throwaway shows that mean absolutely nothing and the commentary doesn't care about them one single bit.

#Impact365 is an interesting concept, but they need to keep this running instead of trying it for a few weeks and then completely abandoning it for no reason whatsoever.

As for the future? It's quite obvious that TNA has had a very rough year, the road tapings being a huge failure resulting in budget cuts that some people may not agree about. Firing Jesse Sorenson and doing the #AskDixie thing was a big PR disaster and they deserved everything they got from it. They need to rebuild from their failures, try and get fans back after Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff running the company into the ground, because we all know that the fanbase has been alienated and people have stopped watching. The ratings show that, but can they go back to better numbers? Who knows.

An actual set and not cardboard would be nice.

First night back in Orlando, not sure what to think of this.

The UK tour is why there are so many tapings in advance. Orlando being the host of Genesis when TNA said that all live PPVs being on the road is depressing though.

The intention was for all LIVE PPVs to be on the road. Putting them back in Orlando would really just put TNA back to step one, where all you'll get is completely dead crowds. Just hope that they won't do the whole cardboard set thing again, it's not the Impact Zone, it's a new place altogether.

Except TNA could have done that this year and for the most, they didn't. They won't learn from their mistakes, they deserve everything they get for getting the small crowds at the road tapings. Don't forget that all of their live PPVs will be on the road too.

Very disappointing, people really wanted TNA to not return to Orlando but all the incentives of course they couldn't refuse. They're saying they'll still tape on the road but really, all you'll get is the UK tapings coming up early next year along with the PPVs.

Just wait until people beg for TNA to leave their new Impact Zone because the same issues come up again, the dead crowds and the bush league look. It'll be a smaller but wider place apparently so it'll look different but TNA was always a fan of making the place look like cardboard instead of something like the NXT Arena at Full Sail University.
