And we couldn't have done any of this without you. So from all of us at TNA, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything and for making Impact Wrestling a global success. And we will see you in your hometown very soon."

Carter added the following on ImpactWrestling.com: "This is a tremendous step forward for TNA... This is a very important next evolution for the company, and I'm excited that the backdrop to the show will feature our great fans in larger arenas around the country and world."

The final two episodes of Impact Wrestling to be filmed from Orlando will be on February 28 and March 7.

"We are so grateful to Universal for being such fantastic partners and look forward to finding other ways to work together in the future," Carter said.

Tickets for the March 14th taping go on sale Friday, February 8th at the Sears Centre Arena box office and at SearsCentre.com. TNA will announce additional television dates in the coming weeks.
