Sources at the Manhattan Center complex (which has the Hammerstein and the Grand Ballroom, the original Raw taping location) confirm that TNA has had discussions with them about running the NYC venue this summer and that TNA staffers had a site survey several months back to look at the facility. TNA ran house shows there several years ago.
As I mentioned last month, TNA was looking at several venues in the Northeast to tape at this summer as they cannot secure regular dates at Universal Studios Orlando due to other productions having holds on the soundstages for their own use.
I was also told that the company has been looking into different casinos they could potentially partner with for tapings this summer.
No official dates with the Hammerstein are on the books yet, according to a source with the venue.
