How much of a highlight in the TNA calendar is the annual UK tour? The UK tour is truly the highlight of our year. Its so much fun. We have an incredible, up close and personal experience doing the shows. What Im most excited about this year is that all three of the stops on our tour Glasgow, Manchester and London will be shown for television, so well be doing six weeks of television while were over there, using the most amazing fans in the world as the backdrop to our television show. Last year, you made history when you held Bound for Glory in Japan, and this has got the fans here in the UK thinking will TNA ever hold a PPV event in the UK? We have talked about doing that and we definitely want to at some point, but my big priority was bringing television to the UK, for selfish reasons, because more people around the world would be able to see the amazing crowds we have there. I feel that its really important to be able to showcase the venues that we play in and the incredible enthusiasm we get over there. Its truly is like a party, and I want as many people to see it as possible, and thats obviously through Impact. I think we need to do both . We need to be able to show television over there. Weve had reality shows over there and were filming a behind the scenes reality show while were there, following the six British Bootcamp 2 finalists. Pay-per-view would be the natural progression.
