PWInsider.com is reporting WWE is planning on moving the entire developmental operation from Tampa to Orlando, Florida. WWE is said to have a great relationship with Full Sail University where they tape NXT. It is believed WWE has already purchased property for the new facility. As of now the entire operation could be moved to Orlando within the next year. Source:Wrestlezone
I know it won't happen but all Vince would have to do is call Universal and ask for space in the studio for NXT and they'd find space for him. TNA better get their crap together because honestly, this could mean some SERIOUS butt freaking for them. Anyone who doesn't think this move is to squeeze TNA, you're insane.
TNA is signed to Universal till 2014 I believe so it's not like they can just get rid of them for some WWE developmental thing which will not draw as well as TNA. If I had a dollar for everytime someone was wrong about TNAs demise............... TNA is global now they get higher ratings than WWE in many countries like the UK. Yes they are not as big in the US but globally they are just as big if not bigger(Ra Ka King put up huge numbers in India and it was done by TNA) I get it you hate TNA but while WWE ratings have been dropping from a 3.2 to 2.7 TNA has been steady at 1-1.1 yes its not as big rating compared to WWE but its still consistent while WWE has been falling also USA is a much larger network then SPIKE and if you think networks dont matter then why when you have a live smackdown on SyFy it gets a 1.5-1.7 rating and the live smackdown on USA this week was a 2.3. TNA has minimal costs thats why they have survived for so long. They are going to be around much longer and some WWE developmental isn't going to change that.
I like that you think I hate TNA. I don't. As I've stated a million times before, I want TNA to succeed. A LOT. I'm bored with WWE and TNA has had times when they've seen to put it all together but then heck it all up(for example Aces and Eights taking 9 months to barely reveal anything). Honestly misfitz, I want TNA to succeed. I didn't say that the WWE is going to buy something at Universal but I honestly think if Vince McMahon called and asked for a studio they'd be falling over themselves to make it happen. Not get rid of TNA. WWE films at Full Sail University and sells out their shows. The reason that TNA is so big is b/c they give away A LOT of their tickets for free. I could go on but as I've said, I want TNA to get better so that the WWE in turn gets better but we all know that can never happen. And because TNA is bigger in India than WWE doesn't mean jack crap.
Actually it means quite a bit when they are bigger worldwide especially in India where they were getting massive viewers much more than Raw currently gets. If India doesnt mean jack crap why is WWE expanding their India Headquarters? Look TNA will probably never overtake WWE in the states because of its history but when it comes to the rest of the world they are beating them in many places. Also every Impact Zone seat is a free seat as TNA is not allowed to charge an entrance fee. They sell out every show because the tickets are dirt cheap if your a student there and most seats are like 10 dollars for general admisson. I agree Aces and Eights has been very frustrating and they need to do something soon. It just seems you constantly crap on whatever they do and just chime in with TNA sucks or TNAs demise is coming.
Found this NXT tapings will be held at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida (just outside Orlando) at the Full Sail Live gym. Tickets will be free for FSU staff and any students with a valid ID if they reserve in advance. Ticket prices for the general public have not been announced. That could be a reason why they sell out at Full Sail
Like I said, I want TNA to be awesome. Sting is my favorite wrestler of all time and Taz is number 2. I love those dudes but the writing there is just AWFUL! Paul Heyman did a shoot on TNA and he hit the nail on the head in how he'd book it and if they did it his way they'd be rich. Paul Heyman HATES Vince McMahon. If Dixie Carter had understood that she'd of called him and given him the keys to the castle. Paul Heyman sucked as a businessman but is arguably the greatest mind in professional wrestling history. Dude knows how to book/sell/sign/etc. She should have given him the keys to the kingdom and sat back and watched the money pour in. Plus they'd have guys like Cesaro and Rollins and Ambrose right now who are actually Heyman guys. I don't mean to sound like I just always crap on TNA but you're right, I do. The reason I do is because they make it so easy. I LOVED Aces and Eights but they got sloppy with it.

Heyman is awesome but I dont think Bischoff and him get along very well and for some reason Dixie has put all her faith in that man.
