TNA iMPACT! Coming to Full Sail University This February
TNA Wrestling is set to make its mark at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida, with live tapings of TNA iMPACT! on Thursday, February 20, followed by TV tapings on Friday, February 21. Tickets for these events will go on sale tomorrow at 10 AM ET on TNAWrestling.com. This announcement highlights a significant milestone in the long-standing connection between professional wrestling and Full Sail University.
Full Sail University first entered the professional wrestling spotlight in 2012 through its groundbreaking partnership with WWE. This collaboration positioned Full Sail as the home of WWE NXT, offering students hands-on experience in key areas such as marketing, social media, media production, and graphic design. The initiative provided real-world training opportunities for students, with approximately 50-60 students actively involved in each production, supported by another 30 handling setup and breakdown operations.
Over the years, this partnership evolved significantly. Beyond practical experience, the collaboration yielded nearly $400,000 in scholarships for Full Sail students, derived from ticket sale proceeds. It also allowed students to work closely with WWE professionals on globally broadcast productions, blending education with industry-level mentorship.
In 2020, WWE ended its partnership with Full Sail as NXT operations shifted to the renovated WWE Performance Center, marking the end of an era for the university’s direct involvement in weekly wrestling tapings. However, the relationship between WWE and Full Sail continues, with WWE utilizing the university’s facilities for special projects, such as filming content for Netflix’s “Road to WrestleMania” and “RAW Classics.”
With TNA Wrestling now stepping into Full Sail’s iconic arena, the tradition of wrestling at this historic location remains strong, offering fans another thrilling chapter in the venue’s legacy.
