SummerSlam '92.They did some UK only PPV's,4 named Rebellion from '99 to '02 for Smackdown and 4 named Insurrextion from 2000 to 2003 for RAW,but since they were UK only you cant really consider them Big ones.

Really the only problem with Non North American PPV's is the time difference,so doing it live would not be easy and having it pretaped is risky what with spoilers and all.It would have to be a damn good show for people to read the results and still want to buy it as opposed to the way it is now where its not till after they pay for it that they get pissed at the results.

BFG in the UK or the Hammerstein? INSTANT BUYS from me.

And Lockdown, with just those two matches on the card so far, and coupled with a large, hot crowd, sounds like it's going to be a show I might have to make room in the budget for.

BFG at Wembley, they've done house shows there... I remember the buzz surrounding Summerslam at Wembley; I wasn't there but everyone at school was talking about it... come on TNA, grow a pair!

I would make the journey from Birmingham to London to see BFG usually if its in Birmingham ill watch it but if they go anywhere else I dont usually bother due to travel costs but this is a big exception

that vince russo comment was hilarious. thats like saying WWE had Lillian Garcia and they were successful, lets hire her and pay her more than Hogan & RVD combined!.

Just because there are no tigers around, does'nt mean the rock actuall repells tigers.

Vince Russo is looking to bring in someone that is legit at least 6'9 or so. He says one thing holding the company back is the lack of true giants and claims that is one thing that has always helped WWE draw well.

This has to be NEWS, right?

YOU HAVE MATT MORGAN RIGHT THERE. He can talk, he has charisma. Just stop booking him like he's another heavyweight. The guy has all the tangible qualities, he's just booked atrociously. And the best part? HE'S UNDER CONTRACT ALREADY.

MORONZ!

Who are you to doubt Dwayne Johnson's tiger repelling prowess?
