Segments filmed for UFC programming, more on Sean Waltman, & more
On Wednesday, September 28, 2005 at 7:21 PM EST Before TNA began taping for Impact! last night, many segments were filmed backstage that will be inserted into the UFC programming marathon that Spike TV will be running on Saturday before the debut of Impact! at 11pm ET/10pm CT. Some segments were also filmed in front of the live crowd in Orlando, FL last night at Universal Studios as well. Those same segments are also expected to be played during the live UFC event that will air before TNA's Impact! replay on Monday night at Midnight/11pm CT.
As reported on earlier, Sean Waltman was backstage at the Impact! tapings last night for Spike TV. Waltman was not used at the tapings and was spotted apologizing to many wrestlers in a private manner for no-showing the Unbreakable PPV on September 11th.
TNA's current TV taping schedule for Spike TV will see events on October 11th and October 25th. As noted when the TV deal was signed, TNA will be taping TV once every two weeks. It is possible that format could change, but that is the plan for right now.
