TNA to tape Impact in the UK

[Steveweiser]

TNA have just announced that there will be an Impact taping at the already announced show at Wembley Arena in London on January 28th, presumably for the February 2nd and 9th episodes. That's by far going to be their best attended TV tapings, as they actually have a following in this country...

[comahan]

Very cool, been hoping that theyd do this for a long time.

[Celgress]

Congrats, as perhaps TNA most die hard fanbase, you guys & girls have dserved this for a long time imo.

Damn it. I have tickets to this show, but am actually wrestling a show the same day! Go to this and not wrestle, or sell my ticket and wrestle? Son of a bitch!

[MikeyMania]

I've got tickets to the house show the night before this. Typical.

[Krimzon]

Should make for a great atmosphere.

wrestle at the show ;D

[Malcolm Tucker for PM]

Great news. TNA shows get a great reception over here and should make for a more exciting than usual edition of Impact Wrestling.

Quick have Magnus win a #1 contenders match and use it at the taping.

[Bram wants to 'urt you]

If they get nothing out of this other than a decent set of crowd reactions to pipe in over the Impact Zone noise then they'll have done alright

Magnus already has his Xplosion Tournament win, which guarantees him (or The British Invasion) a title shot for any belt.

Calling it now : The British Invasion vs Morgan & Crimson for the gold @ Wembley.

It's Impact on the road...and in TNA's biggest market.

Yeah, Roode's losing that belt (likely to Hardy)

[Cyno]

Should be a fun show. At the very least, the crowd will be hot.

[BigAl]

Wonder if they will have Winter face Kim over there, since she was well known in the UK from her FWA days.

[LKW]

Excellent news! :up:

[Andrew is Good]

Hopefully they build up the Mag Daddy, Douglas Williams or Mark Haskins towards this. I know their biggest crowd ever was in Glasgow at about 9000 a few years ago, like, a December/January show, the end of 08 going into 09.

Anyway, if they do something big on tv over there, it may help TNA out when they go back over there, get some more people. I think Brutus Magnus could say, win the TV Title from Robbie E or something, Mark Haskins get some Tv time and build up for an X-Division title shot, or even have the British Invasion win the tag belts (though, I'm not sure if Douglas Williams is still with the company).

I smell an invasion angle! ;D

[The Spelunker!]

This is really exciting. I've been hoping for this since TNA started doing UK tours.

[Steveweiser]

Dave Meltzer confirmed that TNA cancelled their January 16th and 17th tapings, so the Wembley show will be a double taping for February 2nd and 9th.

Awesome! I'm off to the nottingham house show and can't really afford to go down to London anyways, but the crowd will be hot and make the shows look great!
