Meltzer: "One of the things they've been looking at, and it's not going to happen any time soon, but they want to go live. The idea is to go live and have a location where they would go every Thursday. And Full Sail University is one of the locations that they've talked about....and there are probably other locations as well".
- Dave says it would be difficult because Orlando already has NXT each week.
- Scott D'Amore and Lou D'Angeli already went to Full Sail to scout it out.
- There is some cost savings at Full Sail because they can have the students work on the production side and have students fill up the crowd.
- A problem is that they're selling some tickets now for their TV tapings. They would need to give tickets away for free if they did Full Sail every Thursday.
- Dave could see TNA doing a few test runs before the end of the year.
- Mentality is going live by 2025.
- Things may have changed with Scott no longer being there.
- Dave thinks going live would be a bit more exciting for the wrestlers but doesn't know if it will help TV ratings...especially on that channel.
- "Is it worth the extra cost for a company that is obviously trying to keep costs low? So... we'll see."

I thought Anthem parted with Scott D'Amore cause he wanted to scale up and expand and the company didn't? Now they wanna go live?
Anthem is fucking clueless.
