That's a big deal with Hogan coming. He hasn't been on a UK tour for many many years. 1994 according to guys on the WO board.

Contemplating getting a ticket for the Wembley show now. Not seen Sting or Hogan live since my first ever wrestling show (WCW house show, also at Wembley, in '94) and I can't even remember Sting's match (apparantly he fought Austin but my memory is very sketchy), and this will likely be the last chance I get to see them.

Also, is going to a wrestling show alone really tragic? I've text my mate asking if he's up for it, but he's ditched TNA in the last year or so and I reckon he'll blow me out. But I really don't wanna miss seeing Hogan and Sting for the last time.

Who cares if you go alone or not? You're a grown up, and independant so there is nothing tragic about it. Why would it matter if you were to go on your own to a wrestling show. People aren't going there to look for people who are there on their own so they can mock them, and if they are those people are pathetic and stupid.

Go on your own, and have a ball!

Cheers. I will definitely be going, whether my mate wants to or not. Just been posting on another forum and someone offered me their spare ticket. 2nd row, and because it's already partially paid for it'll only cost me £25-30! Nice!

I wouldn't worry if I were you, I got chatting with a bloke at Wembley last year who was there on his own and he said he was having a cracking time meeting people - just make sure you're not weird! I worry about the guy in the Impact zone crowd who has the sign which says 'I make it rain all over Madison' - kinda creepy, I bet security keep a close eye on him!

I've been lucky enough to get to a couple of WCW shows when they came over here years ago. I saw Sting -v- Vader live where Sting actually won the WCW title and i was very lucky to see the Hollywood Blondes -v- Ric Flair & Ricky Steamboat, which still ranks as the best match i've ever seen.

I guess a new poster will be released again as the latest one states Hogan won't be at Nottingham. It's another change as Hogan will be at all three shows. Great news for Nottingham fans.

I remember first seeing Vader when he turned up in WCW on Worldwide, absolutely awesome monster heel! I can't think of another man his size so willing to go to the top turnbuckle, although I think he was a bit of a loose canon backstage and Foley said his personal hygene was questionable....

I getting proper excited about Wembley, I just wish they could leave Gail Kim behind and bring ODB & EY instead

The full Wembley lineup looks as though there could be some interesting matches

Hulk Hogan
Sting
Kurt Angle
Bobby Roode
AJ Styles
James Storm
Bully Ray
Crimson
Samoa Joe
Gunner
Velvet Sky
Gail Kim
Madison Rayne
Mickie James
Tara
Doug Williams
Magnus
Mark Haskins
Austin Aries
Alex Shelley
Matt Morgan
Kazarian
Christopher Daniels

I expect we'llhave a X div. 3 way with Aries / Shelley / Haskins.
Joe & Magnus will probabaly be after the Tag titles again but as tournament winners they both have their respective shots at the word title / any title - can these be cashed in at any time, money in the bank style?

Ring Ka King will air in the UK on COLORS/Sky (channel 829) at 8PM next Saturday
Might be worth a look for a laugh. According to some reports, it was almost like a "throwback to the 70's" with the crowd being insane and, on some occasions, being genuinely afraid of some of the heels.

I'm going to give Impact a go yet again tonight, stopped since the Final Resolution PPV which I got bored with and stopped watching from there. Also might check out that Indian show seeing as it's on Sky next weekend.

For anyone interested, the Indian show Ra Ka King is showing on a channel called Colors on Sky, I think it's something like channel 842. Saturday night it's on. Have just been on the Wikipedia page looking at the roster and it sounds full of potential.

Hogan is on Loose Women on Wednesday to plug TNA.

Is there much crossover between Loose Women and TNA's target demos?

Lots of male students watch Loose Women so I expect there will be some crossover in that demo.

This has got car crash TV written all over it.

Watched Impact on Sunday night and found myself wondering....
Did Jeremy Borash muff up again?

There was an obvious and clumsy edit during his ring announcement of the main event between James Storm and Jeff Hardy.

The missing chunk is cut out so we don't know what it was that needed to be removed. Could have been something else by somebody else but JB was in the foreground doing his thing at the time.

Am almost at the main event of last weeks Impact and got to say I've really enjoyed it. The promos are so much better than you see in WWE, everything feels so much more real without the scripts. The opening promo was good, the Bully Ray/Sting promo was great with the "I'll do you a FAVAH!" stuff and Shelley/Aries was just immense. Happy to have come back and found Impact really good.

It's called Ring Ka King. The Indian project they have with a few TNA wrestlers involved like Matt Morgan, Magnus, Steiner and some more along with people like Chris Masters, Chavo Guerrero, Sonjay Dutt and Harry Smith.

It debuts on the Sky channel Colors this Saturday night at 8pm.
