10 Big Questions With TNA President Dixie Carter

9. & 8. TNA In The UK

How much of a highlight in the TNA calendar is the annual UK tour? The UK tour is truly the highlight of our year. It€™s so much fun. We have an incredible, up close and personal experience doing the shows. What I€™m 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 we€™ll be doing six weeks of television while we€™re 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 it€™s really important to be able to showcase the venues that we play in and the incredible enthusiasm we get over there. It€™s truly is like a party, and I want as many people to see it as possible, and that€™s obviously through Impact. I think we need to do both . We need to be able to show television over there. We€™ve had reality shows over there and we€™re filming a behind the scenes reality show while we€™re there, following the six British Bootcamp 2 finalists. Pay-per-view would be the natural progression.
