The third and final TNA iMPACT! Wrestling taping at the Manhattan Center tonight is already sold out in advance. TNA had sold that date out first (it was announced as the Hardy Boyz reunion initially) but released an additional 20 tickets yesterday. They were immediately bought up. It’s possible there will be seats released but it won’t be many and it won’t be until the last minute.
Former WWE referee Kevin Keenan was at the show visiting.
Reby Sky, Matt Hardy’s wife who has worked for Lucha Libre USA, currently hosts a Playboy TV series and is a NYC native, was also at the show.
TNA was selling signed and framed posters commemorating Matt and Jeff Hardy’s reunion.
After tonight’s taping, TNA is off on Saturday and then has a house show Sunday in Lakewood, NJ at the FirstEnergy Park with TNA champ Bobby Lashley vs. Eric Young, Bully Ray vs. EC3 with Rockstar Spud, Angelina Love & Velvet Sky vs. Gail Kim & Madison Rayne, TNA Tag Team champions The Wolves Eddie Edwards & Davey Richards vs. BroMans, Sanada vs. Manik vs. Tigre Uno plus Kurt Angle appearing.
TNA will be taping in the venue again 8/5-8/7. Don’t be surprised to see TNA go back and tape TV at the Sands Bethlehem Events Center in PA either as the staff and performers really loved the atmosphere there as well.
