10 Things We Learned From IMPACT Wrestling Live

7. TNA Should Run The Same Venue Again

The days of IMPACT swanning into cities like Glasgow and booking the biggest venues around are gone, at least for now. They once played cavernous arenas like the SECC or Hydro, but settled for the smaller (albeit more historic) O2 Academy close to the city centre this time. That, as it turned out, was shrewd.

TNA didn't over-extend themselves and have to shoot around empty seats or an embarrassingly sparse crowd. Instead, they wisely booked a building that's big enough without being too big. If the TNA reprise does well, then maybe D'Amore and crew will be able to reach for the stars yet again. If not, then they've found a decent home for Scottish tour dates.

Nobody would turn their nose up at a sequel in 2024, put it that way.

The O2 is smaller than venues for follow-up dates on the tour in England, but there's nothing wrong with that. If Glasgow needs to be a warm up for grandiose pay-per-views to come, then so be it. The city, which really loves wrestling, will gladly do it.
