Daily star reveals TNA roster line up for UK and Ireland Tour

jmolloy

TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy, Rob Vam Dam, ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett, TNA TV Champion AJ Styles, Mr Anderson, Mickie James, TNA World Tag Team Champions Motor City Machine Guns, Shannon Moore, Kazarian, “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero and the phenomenal Beer Money Inc., will all be hitting our shores for some extreme action.

That’s not all – the ladies are invading too - TNA Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne, Tara, and Angelina Love are all set to light the fires for British fans


poor Mickie grouped in with the male talent. slightly disappointed theres no foley or angle mentioned

EdK

That's a very strong roster,Angle is a loss but in fairness he has been on the last few tours

Foley was here last time and is no loss IMO as all he does is take up a spot of an active wrestler

Have meet and greet tickets but have already met everyone there except Mickie some numerous times,love going to see TNA live though,always worth it

Yea pretty great line up , would love if we got MCMG vs Beer Money and really glad i got Meet and Greet aswell with that line up

Machismo Fan

Looks like we could be getting a little Guns vs. Beer Money action which would be awesome. Really good touring line-up.

Lads this is all up in the air until January. People could leave, get injured, or TNA could be pushing other talent by then. Best to just see who's on TV in January

Should be a larf

No chance to see Hogan then?

TheTwiz

Is anyone here willing to sell their ringside/meet & greet tickets?

Hogan can barely make it to iMPACT! nevermind an eight day tour of Europe. At least we get Flair.

EdK

Hogan hardly appears in Florida these days and that's where he lives no chance of him coming I'd say they already have more than enough to sell tickets anyway (with the right promotion)

Looks great! Looking forward to seeing Anderson, Styles, Jeff, RVD. Sucks theres no Angle or Joe

I may be a mile off here, but I reckon an advertised Hulk Hogan appearance would damn near sell out the o2 Arena.

This show hasn't yet sold out the 1,954 seated National Stadium. Granted they havn't started any advertising campaign yet, but surely the majority of TNA fans or even any casual wrestling fans would have heard about this show and snapped up their tickets already

In fairness, a well advertised show with RVD, Hardy and Flair could sell out the O2 but well advertised has never been one of TNA's strong points.

I doubt this tbh. Names don't draw in wrestling anymore, brands do. And the only brand that could sell out the O2 (and does so regularly)is WWE.

Just that names don't draw doesn't mean they never can. I think if TNA ever put a decent effort into promoting these shows (especially with the popularity of Hardy with kids) they may not sell the O2 but they'd draw a decent number of people.

But couldn't they just pay the promoter (if there is one) or an advertising company to advertise on their behalf?

But don't you think Hulk Hogan is an exception to this rule? He is still a household name in Ireland and the UK, and I don't think he has been in this part of the world for at least 12 years so i'm sure even a few casual or former fans would like to see him once in their lifetime.

He's possibly the only exception but even then I doubt he could draw that well. How many did those shows with his name all over them draw in Australia? He did OK numbers on TV for Impact but nothing near what your run of the mill RAW draws without trying.
