    Like TNA 'draw' 1,100 non-paying fans each week. Surely they could muster that up doing iMPACT in UK/Germany etc and charging ~20 bucks per head.

    Do you think TNA would now start to consider doing a taping over in the UK since you look at the turn out for this tour was pretty good especially with the Wembley show
    The only problem with that is, the amount of talent who prefer not to tour would mean that couldnt happen.

    But with a turn out like that ^^^, things could change.

    They could do that in the US if they wanted to.

    it probably makes most financial sense to just tour in europe and do tapings in USA. But hearing the jaded idiot smark impact crowd each week just gets so annoying! the crowds are better outside Orlando but they're stellar in Europe.

    Maybe they could just tape impacts while on tour? It'd make them feel like a much bigger company and the crowds would be rabid, always great for TV.

    Again I doubt they'd maintain those crowd responses every week either. Though I agree, they should tape an iMPACT! or two while they're over here.

    Yea they could do for example Do a taping in Manchester , London and Glasgow on the this tour the fact they had a big entrance and stuff for the UK dates it could have worked. The crowd would be electric (unlike the Impact crowd) and if they labeled it as Impact recording show it would prob sell a few more tickets . If they did it over here id say they would have to use the RDS (even though its a glorified shed) and since the O2 is way to big. Plus it would be easier to cut off the back of the RDS with a curtain if ticket sales were'nt to good

    For me anyway, it was very hard to really get into the impact taping I was at. Considering most people spend the day in the theme park beforehand, and then I queued for 2 hours in considerable heat for Impact.

    Its alot easier to get excited after a leisurely stroll to the 02 and enjoy a WWE house show.

    So was the Maximum Impact tour deemed a huge success in the end? If so, hopefully they will start to come to Europe more often, say twice a year.

    Think the issue is they have a lot of the top line talent contracted to work dates as opposed to a time frame and taking them oh house show loops no matter how profitable takes them off tv and costs them in the long run. Look at the way they initially overbooked foley, flair and RVD and then had to take them off tv with hastily put together plans. I like the touring schedule as it stands

    They should just keep it to once a year imo make it the more special .

    Was thinking do you think if the tour would have been called the Hulk Hogan tour there would have been a bigger turn out (even though it was a success without him)
