London (Monday October 28, 2013): TNA IMPACT WRESTLING will tape its first ever
international Pay-Per-View events in the UK, as part of the TNA MAXIMUM IMPACT
VI Tour in January and February 2014.
TNA ONE NIGHT ONLY: BRITISH EMPIRE CUP will take place at the Manchester Phones
4u Arena on Friday January 31, with TNA ONE NIGHT ONLY: JOKER’S WILD 2 coming to
the Birmingham NIA on Sunday February 2. The highly-anticipated PPV events, the
first ever to be held outside of America, will be broadcast around the world
later in 2014.
The addition of these events means that the TNA MAXIMUM IMPACT VI Tour will see
four very special individual TNA tapings take place in the UK for the first time
ever.
TNA previously announced that flagship weekly TV show IMPACT WRESTLING will be
broadcast live from Glasgow’s new Hydro Arena on Thursday January 30, followed
by a TV taping at Wembley Arena, London, on Saturday February 1.
TNA ONE NIGHT ONLY: BRITISH EMPIRE CUP will see eight of the world’s greatest
wrestlers battle it out in a one-night tournament. Seven top TNA IMPACT
WRESTLING superstars will be joined by an eighth competitor, the winner of a TNA
signature gauntlet battle royal featuring well-known British and international
stars. The eight warriors will have to go through a gruelling and high-octane
knockout competition to win the British Empire Cup, which will then be defended
each year on TNA’s UK Tours. The event will also feature TNA’s lovely and lethal
Knockouts fighting for their own trophy.
TNA ONE NIGHT ONLY: JOKER’S WILD 2 sees a first round of intriguing tag team
matches, where old partners or bitter enemies may be drawn to work together. The
victorious pairings then advance to a winner-takes-all gauntlet battle royal,
where it's every man for himself with a prize of £100,000 on the line to the
last man standing.
TNA also today announces NINE more wrestlers for the MAXIMUM IMPACT VI Tour –
Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle, TNA Wrestling: British Boot Camp winner
Rockstar Spud, Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, Brooke, ODB, Knux, Robbie E and
Jessie Godderz.
They will join Bully Ray, Magnus, Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe, Chris Sabin, Austin
Aries, Manik, James Storm, Gunner and Gail Kim on all four shows.
TNA President Dixie Carter said: “Along with the TNA IMPACT WRESTLING superstars
and staff, I am ecstatic to again experience the unparalleled passion and energy
of our fans in the UK."
“As TNA continues global expansion and IMPACT WRESTLING ratings on Challenge TV
continue to skyrocket, for the first time in our company’s history we have the
pleasure of showcasing the incredible UK fans to the rest of the world through
FOUR individual broadcast events planned during the MAXIMUM IMPACT VI tour.â€
Kurt Angle added: “I absolutely love coming to the UK, as does everyone on the
TNA IMPACT WRESTLING roster, so I am delighted to be returning in 2014.
“The UK fans have been begging us to hold a PPV over there for years, so I can’t
wait to tape TWO of them and make another piece of British wrestling history.â€
