Dave Meltzer reported in the latest installment of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Impact Wrestling is planning to tape multiple episodes of Impact in major cities such as New York, Toronto or Chicago.
These claims are said to be “skeptical” right now because Impact is attempting to cut costs and when they tape in Canada, they receive a tax break. It’s also being said it would cost the company more money to tape in bigger markets such as New York and Chicago, so it may be very unlikely that we will see them in that area anytime soon.
There is also the belief that it would be hard for Impact to sell tickets right now because the product is considered “cold.” If Impact does decide to tape in these areas, it is very likely that they won’t be in any arenas.
