TNA Wrestling taping About This Page:

Has anyone been to see the taping of the TNA Wrestling show at Universal? What's it like? The site "recommends" a minimum age of 14 for admission but do they actually restrict anybody under 14 from entering?
Thanks for any help,

No but I do want to go when we are down in Sept/Oct! They probably recommend the 14+ age because of the content of the show. If you've seen the wrestling show on tv before and don't have a problem with it I would say you will be fine. I'm sure someone on here can give you more info on actually being there.

I should edit this and say, There will probably be a little swearing and maybe even people bleeding. That is most likely the reason for the 14+ warning.

Not to mention skimpy costumes!

We are planning to attend the TNA Tapings in september too. So, if anyone has some experiences to share, just go ahead!

My friend (who is a big wrestling fan) took me to a TNA taping back in December. I used to watch wrestling when I was a kid, but I don't follow it now. We went for a Pay Per View taping.

The entrance to TNA is by the double gates next to the Blue Man Group bathrooms. We saw people lining up by noon, but with the Pay Per View taping, people were lining up 3-4 hours before showtime. Those who arrived at least 3 hours early got in.

The soundstage has ample seating and standing areas very close to the arena. You can buy food and drink, and souvenirs there. They do allow still photography, but no videotaping. Even from the top row, you could see the action rather well.

Being that this was a Pay Per View event, the language was harsher and it was more violent.

My friend went to a regular taping a few nights later. He didn't have to wait 2 hours. I think he just walked right up and got in. He said that he was in the 3rd row and got on TV!

So if you like wrestling, you'll enjoy TNA. Even if you don't, it's worth watching to see how hard the wrestlers work. People say it's fake, but it takes a lot of effort and work to pull off the show!

You did not mention TNA. My DH is a huge TNA and WWE Fan, and we watch it every week, even our DS loves watching wrestling. I can't tell my DH about there being a TNA Taping at Universal Studios, he might want to go.

Thanks Jeff I'm trying to figure out what to get him for his Father's Day Gift. We've been trying for the past couple of years to score some decent tickets for close enough seats for any of the WWE events out here (and DH would know I'd be in the stands with the John Cena, Batista, or Undertaker Shirts on too). It would be fun to see that live, and he'd get a huge kick out of it too. Funny enough DS Skyler has been a Wrestling fan since in the womb too (but I wouldn't bring him to a TNA Event). He's too young for that. Maybe WWE, but TNA's a little too much for him. I'm still surprised Christian Cage came back to WWE and Booker T is on TNA.

we were lucky enough to catch TNA when they first came to NY the show was beyond awesome and after the shaow the wrestlers stayed a while signing aoutographs and for 20.00 you could of had a picture taking with curt angle and the TNA belt.

[BeckiO5]

Jeff that's awesome. It looks like the TNA dates in Universal Studios seems like a little too close to now for me to be able to get the tix and get down to Orlando to tell Erick we're going. I did see if they had any dates for out here and nothing yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled though so hopefully I can surprise him at some point for something he won't ever forget.

I think the entrance changed to the area in front of the stage by Twister, but you can always check at Guest Services.
