TNA... should go home

Yeah, the Asylum was a bigger shithole than the bingo hall in Philly. They should get outta the Impact Zone, but they don't need to take 8 steps backwards in doing so. A bigger arena is needed at this point.

Even if they can't go back to the fairgrounds, they should leave the Impact zone, especially if their gonna switch to mondays. For their thursday shows, maybe staying there is fine. But mondays are supposed to be whats big for them right now, monday is supposed to compete with the WWE. The crowds at the Impact zone are kind of flat. They don't have to pay to view the show and on top of that it's all comprised of tourists. My point being there is, when WWE travels and people goto view their shows, its people who are driven to see the shows. It's people who decide they want to go see a wrestling show, they paid money for their ticket, and their vested in the event. TNA Impact! right now, the audience is people on vacation, visiting Universal Studios who decide it would be fun to take time out to go see a wrestling tv show. They didn't go there to see wrestling. They went there to enjoy Universal Studios, and wrestling is just a part of it. A lot of times the audience interaction is what makes the show so great. At the Impact Zone, the established names seem to get cheered regardless of whether their heel or face. I think this would change if they started to travel, because it would allow a more passionate fan base that is vested in the product to come across on tv.

i believe the impact zone is a little small for TNA now. i personally would like to see them type impacts at house shows i think the fan would make the show 10x better because when i go to house shows for tna its unreal how into the matches the fans get. Yes they do use backstage passes but ive been to wrestlemania and other wwe ppvs and yes of coure WM was awsome but wwe house shows are so boring. The impact on the road will bring more cred to TNA because itll show that people around the world love the show not just the same people every week with different clothing on

I'm not of the mindset that TNA has to leave the Impact Zone, but if they do, and they want to stay in one main taping location, The Asylum is the best bet. As stated earlier, Tennessee loves their wrestling. They'll get larger crowds, and because they've grown since the first run there, there won't be a problem with getting the crowd amped up, or worried about their voice not being heard. They'll also be able to charge for admission, and a few extra bucks in the pocket never hurt anyone.

Screw you. I happen to love that Bingo Hall.

Why?

It's not like the Impact Zone is anywhere near as bad as it's made out to be. Other than a few select places, an arena is an arena. The Impact Zone works just fine and it's a safe haven for TNA as they don't have to pay massive rental fees to the big time places that they'll hardly ever fill. It's fine where they are and they don't need to go back to the Asylum. It's the same as the Impact Zone, just a bit further north.
