– TNA will be sending A.J. Styles, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley and either Curry Man or Johnny Devine to the July 25th Arena Mexico show. This is part of the exchange deal that got the CMLL wrestlers to work the World X Cup. Each man will only work one date for CMLL.
– Tickets went on sale for the TNA January “Maximum Impact” tour in the U.K. TNA dropped ticket prices from the last tour, due to them running larger venues. The tickets run in the range from 25-45 pounds (roughly $50 to $90). The Manchester building, which holds 18,000 people, will be set up for a 9,000-seat configuration. The other venues are planned to be configured for their capacity. London and Birmingham in the 12,000-seat range, while Glasgow is around 7,000-seats.
– TNA is advertising their tour in several top selling British tabloids. WWE stopped doing a decade ago because they got to the point to where it wasn’t needed.
– Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt have an idea to bring in the Iron Sheik to the company. They are big fans of his and their idea is to have him be a rapper who would introduce Booker T.
