    www.tnawrestling.com is reporting that a PPV is set to come to the UK this year! I was talking to JB on Sat and he mentioned they would be back in Sep so its most likely going to be 'No Surrender' .

    I'd delete the second part of that if you want this thread to stay un-locked. ;)

    It'd be probably going by whichever venue gave the best reception over the tour.

    Ha would love of it was Dublin but it will prob be the UK which understandable because by the looks of it the UK tour has/is going really well. If the price for the UK PPV wasnt decent wouldnt mind heading over if i got a cheap flight. I do hope they come back over the Ireland if they do the ppv and even try somewhere bigger like the RDS.

    A ppv in the o2 would be good.

    The o2 capacity for wrestling/MMA shows is 9,500 so they could easily sell that out.

    They'd probably base it on their highest draw. They apparently drew 8000+ people in Manchester and I don't know about Birmingham.

    I think all those who plan to post in this thread read this, just want to keep the thread open:

    Fair point. I reckon the PPV will be held in London/Manchester - it would be cool to have it in Ireland.

    its set for birmingham by all accounts, they even teased it in front of the birmingham crowd from people who were there. i just hope its not a uk only ppv like those lame shows wwe had for a while

    MEN in manchester is a 20,000 seater venue while NIA in birmingham is just 13,000 so tna would hope to fill that

    They could make a few million dollars profit all told at the end of their tour it would be a good idea from them to embrace the european/uk market as they are a bigger draw there than in the US its smart business

    The only way I see this happening is if its a UK only PPV a la One Night Only. The time difference would cripple the card's selling power in the US.

    Not a problem they hardly sell any pay per views anyway and the revenue drawn would far outweigh any drawn in the US especially ppvs still held in Orlando which only draw merchandise sales (minimal i'd imagine) as admission is free
