Dixie Carter Makes Big Announcement Regarding TNA Impact Tapings in the UK, Reveals Several Top Names Set for the Tour

November 30, 2014

TNA President Dixie Carter has announced that the upcoming Impact Wrestling shows in Manchester, London and Glasgow will be TV tapings.

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode, Magnus, Rockstar Spud, James Storm, MVP, Madison Rayne, Abyss, Eric Young, Al Snow, Gail Kim and Samoa Joe have all been confirmed for the tour and tapings.

Carter also revealed that the six finalists of the next British Bootcamp series will be present at the TV tapings.

“Our fans across the UK know TNA for the unmatched professional wrestling we deliver each week on Challenge,” Carter said. “We are thrilled to once again showcase internationally, through our flagship program IMPACT, the energy and excitement of the rowdy UK crowds by televising all three of our MAXIMUM IMPACT 7 events in Glasgow, Manchester and London. After the incredible energy the UK fans gave the IMPACT shows broadcast from these three cities this past January, I decided we had to try and raise the bar even higher in 2015.

“Several talent such as Lashley, Bram, Angelina Love and TNA Knockouts Champion Taryn Terrell will be making their first appearance on a TNA UK tour or returning after several years’ absence. We also have some very exciting things planned for the tour and several surprises fans will not want to miss. Being able to meet the finalists of British Boot Camp before every show is an added bonus.”
