TNA Impact Wrestling
Location: London, England
February 9, 2012 ( Taped: January 28th)
Commentators: Mike Tenay & Taz
Editor’s Notes: I brought tickets for the event, I was about 8 rows from the front. I had the chance to meet Matt Morgan, Crimson, Christopher Daniels, Kurt Angle, Earl Hebner and Dixie Carter. I shook the hands of Hulk Hogan but they were rushing me as a result my photo with him was ruined by the security man. The atmosphere was amazing I thought, we were better than the Impact Zone. Not many children compared to a WWE event and I must say the arena was quite full.
VIDEO PACKAGE: Highlights from last week’s show and this week’s episode has a Star Wars theme to it.

IN THE RINGSEGMENT
Magnus &Samoa Joe + Matt Morgan & Crimson: Magnus and Joe came to the ring to massive cheers. He said he loves the UK tour but hehas nothing against the Scots, Welsh or the Irish but THIS IS ENGLAND! Massive cheers and he said tonight he has come home and brought his tag team partnerSamoa Joe, massive ‘joe’ chants. Magnus said about two months ago they had a wild card tag team tournament where they drew random names, and they drewMagnus and Samoa Joe. It raised a few eyebrows because everyone in the back,management, fans even thought they wouldn’t get along, but they might haveproved that theory wrong because they are the team that have chemistry,teamwork, well oiled machine its about them. But Matt Morgan/Crimson are not,the tag team champs came out and attacked Joe/Magnus, they bailed and Joe gave Morgan the middle finger.
