I was wondering if there was any word on the locations for this year's Genesis and Turning Point PPV?

I hope they go further out west. It would be a nice change for TNA.

Maybe AK, OK, etc sure. I'm actually hoping for another South Carolina or Georgia show. Now, the reason I say SC is because the show in Florence I was at only drew 1,000 less than what Victory Road drew and about 500 less than Hard Justice Sunday.  |

Yeah, that'd be ridiculously far out west.  I keep holding out hope that they'll be holding a house show in our area (Portland, OR) sooner than later. But I do agree that the west coast is out of the question for PPVs at this time. |

I said further out west, not CA. So far they've gone as far as Houston, Texas. I know they're supposedly running a show in CA later this year, so we'll see how that goes. But I don't find trying some where like MN or IA is out of the question.
As for Portland, OR; as I've said before TNA's arena booking agent told my ent. business class that TNA plans on being in Montana by the end of next year(rumors are for spring or fall in college time). So I would say Portland has a good chance. He did say TNA plans to try and get markets WWE doesn't run, like the northwest. WWE has odd events in this area every now and then, which after WMXIX I don't get. But TNA has a chance to claim a market WWE ignores.

But, it seems TNA's doing the same - well - bullcrapWWE does. That's favoring a state (ala Texas) |

True. But TNA needs to leave FL, it always seems like the same show every week to me in terms of crowd. I wouldn't care if they alternated two week periods between TN and FL. TNA needs to make change to get somewhere. It may be cheap to run the same place, but it makes your product seem dull.

Do they? Damn. Well I really think when it runs up they should leave. Although it's not Universal's fault, they're not really progressing like they could. To me they're running safe areas and still giving away a lot of free tickets. They really need to do something to put them where they can look WAY better than WWE.
*Looks at X division*
Oh hey X division! What're you doin'? Nothing special? That sucks, you're really fun to watch. Well I hope TNA realizes what they have with you.

If I am not mistaken, until about 2011-2012 |
