Is admission to this show included with Unviersal Tickets? Or can you go to it without actually going to Unviersal?

-Thanks

The show can be entered through two ways. The first is inside the park. The line is in the former Nick Studios queue area. For iMPACT! tapings you must just wait in line (it starts to fill up at around 3-4pm since you go backstage at 5pm) but for PPVs the Street Team Council hands out numbered tickets starting at park opening (at 4:30pm you return to the queue area and get in line according to the numbers). Park guests get backstage first and then everyone is seperated into the VIP/Universal Employee and General Admission lines.

There is also a way of getting in without paying to get into the park. A line forms on the side of the Hard Rock Cafe where you can enter/exit USF from by Nick Studios. This line is let in AFTER the Nick Studios line is. Usually with PPVs it's tough to get in through it as the Impact Zone only seats around 1000+ people (and you have park guests/VIPs getting in before that line does)....not sure about iMPACT! tapings as I've never stood in the line but I'm sure those are a lot easier to get into.

That's cool then, i'd like to catch a taping of it next time i'm down there Do any of the superstars do meet and greets after the show?

Not that I know of, but sometimes a person or two will come out while everyone is waiting in line....when I was waiting to get into the Victory Road PPV, Traci Brooks, Jackie Gayda, and So Cal Val came out for pictures and I got one with the three of them. I saw Rhino come up to the line once too but he wasn't around for long. Sometimes you'll see the wrestlers in the park....I sat a table away from Jimmy Hart and Petey Williams in the Classic Monsters Cafe on the day of Victory Road and I was in line behind Jeff Hardy once at ROTM.

Oh, and Jimmy Hart is there for nearly every event promoting them in the park (in the middle of the street between Shrek and Neutron). He takes pictures and gives autographs, and once in a while someone else will be out there with him (I believe Jackie and Traci were out there at the last iMPACT! tapings).

Well, you still have some chance. At every iMPACT! taping they hand out raffle tickets and hold a raffle after the show. They usually give out 2-3 autographed shirts but the grand prize is a chance to go backstage and meet any TNA wrestler you want to get an autograph and photo.
