TNA Filming iMPACT! from Wembley Arena in London on 1/28

[It's Damn Real!]

Per Dixie Carter's Twitter account:

@TNADixie:

BIG NEWS FOR TNA. We will film Impact from Wembley Arena in London on 1/28! Cannot tell you how excited I am! Details to follow. PLS RT

 

[Daniel]

Wow. That's a pretty big arena.

But TNA is popular over here, so they'll no doubt pull it off.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Awesome

 

[Y-2-Jay]

Awesome!!! Just checked for tickets and i can only get upper floor seats (That was when it was just a house show) so now that its been confirmed as a TV taping those will sell for sure. It should be full of fans wish it was closer to home though as i would have gone.

 

[Gelgarin]

Interesting. Crappy tickets for £25, I'm legitimately tempted.

 

[Coco]

Gonna be pretty embarrassing for them when Impact is cancelled for low ratings before the taping.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I think I'd rather see a house show. Those last two were top notch. Impact? More variable.

I dunno, they'll likely pull out all the stops for their British faithful.

Supposing they can fill Wembley.

Surely that'll be an attendance record for them?

 

[Uncle Sam]

They already came close to filling Wembley Arena, which is their existing attendance record. I helped them accomplish that; I was there. For the record.

Also, the distinction between Wembley Arena and Wembley Stadium should be made before anybody makes themselves look a bit silly. Wembley Stadium is much, much larger.

This will either have great rewards or will not work out well for them.

It's always great to see TNA expand into other countries but thats a 12,500 seat arena, TNA has never done half that at any point in their existence. They are popular over there and I wish them the best, I guess only time will tell to see if it was a good idea or not.

They've been in the same arena before, and drawn in over 8,000 people.

Touche Sam! Touche indeed.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Edit: Sam beat me to it

 

[Uncle Sam]

I must be vigilant in my renewed capacity as a TNA mark.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

It's funny that i have never been to a TNA show in the UK but i have in the US.

 

[shattered dreams]

Can't wait to see this but it will make the next impact zone show that much more disappointing.

 

[a0161613]

Their house shows there have been OK. The last one was pretty shoddy but the two prior to that were great. This is what I get for deciding not to go this year. I'm kind of glad. Impact will probably suck. The matches just won't be as good.

 

[ABMorales787]

I knew it. How could they pass up the Maximum Impact tour without one Impact episode? It's their best thing going ticket sales-wise.

 

[a0161613]

Well they passed it up two years in a row. This was going to happen eventually. They need to bring a PPV over here.

How would they do a PPV over here? Make it a free special on Spike like the UFC events in England? Or do it live at 1am so they can still sell the PPV in the US.
