TNA Scheduled to Record Two Episodes of Impact in the UK

Their first-ever international tapings...
- TNA will be completing their annual UK Tour tonight at Wembley Arena in London, with recording two episodes of Impact, which will air on February 2 and February 9. They will be the first-ever international TV tapings, and the tapings will lead to the Against All Odds Pay-Per-View.
The advertising for the TNA tapings focuses on Hulk Hogan's return to the ring for the first time since October after Bound for Glory. "What does Hogan have planned? Why has he chosen this historic night to return to Impact?"
The tapings will also feature Sting returning to the UK for the first time in ten years, and he will have the role of announcing TNA World Heavyweight Champion Robert Roode's title defense at Against All Odds. He and Hogan wrestled in six-man tag matches on the house shows at Nottingham and Manchester earlier this week.
The list of stars advertised for the taping include the following: Hogan, Sting, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Robert Roode, James Storm, Bully Ray, TNA Tag Champions Matt Morgan & Crimson, Samoa Joe, Gunner, X Division Champion Austin Aries, Alex Shelley, Kazarian, Christopher Daniels, home country stars Doug Williams, Magnus, and Mark Haskins, and Knockouts stars Velvet Sky, KO tag champs Gail Kim & Madison Rayne, Mickie James, and Tara.
This will appeal all the British fans who think that WWE and TNA should bankrupt themselves by holding half of their pay per views and every other show in their country. Is it any wonder, wrestlers are always complaining about their schedules?

This should be briliant! TNA is always much bettar on the rowed! There will be 80,000 rapid Englishmen setting a new attendance record for TNA tonight! Much bettar than anything they could do in Orlando.

Who cares. If Dixie had half a brain she'd pull up the Ring Ka King 1st episode and see how her promotion should be run without Russo, Hogan, Bisch and Prichard screwing it up. I had no clue what the hell they were talking about but it was 1000 times more interesting than Impact.

Theyre in wembley arena not wembley stadium. The arena holds about 16,000- they half filled it last time, so I guess they'll do the same again- but bear in mind that 8,000 for a TV taping is better than most of WWE's raw takings draw.

Actually it's nearer 12,500 so they filled about 2/3rds - RAW regularly puts 17,000 asses into seats at the O2. WWE > TNA
