So what's the first new production out at Universal Studios now that NBC has taken over? Seems it's professional wrestling -- for airing on Fox Sports Net. Nashville-based Total Nonstop Action Wrestling said Impact! will debut June 4 and provide national exposure for its "family"-oriented style of wrestling. The 2-year old pro circuit features "athletic in-ring action" instead of the "shocking antics" in other professional wresting. Universal Studios Vice President Paul Meena, general manager of the theme park's production group, said the park's 22,000-square-foot Sound Stage 21 is ideal for the weekly show and allows park guests a chance to be in the audience and cheer for their favorite.

Sounds good! I remember years ago when WCW filmed their shows at Universal.

I knew it! I knew it! That's where the DIS Tag Team has been....I bet they look adorable in those tight wrestling pants and high top shoes!

There I go again.....managed to kill another thread!

Well now, we can't have you killing threads!

I'll post and then if it dies again I'll have killed it, not you.

This federation has Jeff Jarrett and Sting in it, two of my all time favorites! Unfortunately it also has "Johnny Fairplay", that moron that was on Survivor.
