SPIKE TV AND TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION (TNA) WRESTLING TAKE “TNA iMPACT!” LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON MARCH 27th
“TNA iMPACT!” To Telecast Live On Spike TV From Universal Studios Orlando Thursday, March 27 

Spike TV and Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling have announced that “TNA iMPACT!” will telecast live for the first time in the show’s history on Thursday, March 27 (9:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) from Universal Studios Orlando.

In addition to the live telecast, TNA will tape two additional two-hour episodes of “TNA iMPACT!” at Universal Studios Orlando on Friday, March 28 and Saturday, March 29, with these episodes premiering on Spike TV in April.

“This first ever special live event is a treat for TNA fans, but it is also an opportunity for viewers who are not familiar with TNA’s distinct brand of high-impact wrestling to tune-in and experience first-hand that TNA is indeed the new face of wrestling,” says Spike TV senior vice president of sports and specials Brian Diamond.

“Thousands of pro wrestling fans will visit Orlando, the home of ‘iMPACT,’ at the end of March. We’re celebrating by taking ‘iMPACT’ live for the first time ever so that fans from across the globe can experience the best professional wrestling available today,” says TNA President Dixie Carter.

“TNA iMPACT!” launched on Spike TV with a weekly one-hour show on October 1, 2005. This past October, with consistent ratings and demographic growth, “TNA iMPACT!” expanded to a two-hour telecast on Spike TV.

“TNA iMPACT” has called Orlando, FL home since June of 2004, when it moved into its current location, dubbed “The iMPACT Zone,” on Soundstage 21 at Universal Studios Orlando.
