British Bootcamp showcases a number of British talents but then the best one, the winner Mark Andrews, gets taken away from us to go to TNA. Do you feel that the show helps or hinders the British wrestling scene? I think it absolutely helps it. Its a great opportunity to showcase the finest wrestlers from the UK and hopefully, well be able to continue this year after year. Itll be something that those who didnt make it to the finals this time can try for again, and others who didnt try before will make the trip out to try to qualify. I think its a great opportunity to put the spotlight on so many talented young men and women, and its amazing how many talents there are here. I think theres a tremendous resurgence in the United Kingdom and in Ireland of the independent wrestling scene, and we love being a part of that and being able to showcase the best that there is and then add one amazing and talented wrestler to our roster. One other thing Im really excited about is that all six finalists from British Bootcamp 2 are going to be on tour with us, and this is going to be really fun, Im going to have them come out as soon as doors open and spread themselves out around the arenas for all the fans to be able to turn up and get their pictures made with them and get an autograph. Itll be like a Bootcamp party before the show, for free. I love making the pre-show something fun and special, and all our meet and greets are sold out already, but I thought, why not take these talented kids out to the crowd and then everybody gets to meet them. And Mark Andrews is going to be making his debut on Impact in the next couple of weeks!
