Revisiting TNA Imact Wrestling House Show Bournemouth UK Jan 26 2010

Revisiting TNA Impact Wrestling House Show Bournemouth UK Jan 26 2010 Recently I have been cleaning around my house and tidying a lot of things up. While doing this I found a programme from TNA Wrestling UK Tour 2010 show in Bournemouth. I haven't looked at this program for some time and to see so many of the stars on the front cover and to see what a stacked roster TNA Impact Wrestling had at the time was insane.  Everyone from Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Aj Styles Team 3D and more. TNA had so many great talents and I think that is appreciated more now in 2020 than it was a decade ago  I had never been to any TNA show before and was really looking forward to it my brother and my best friend were with me as well and i remember walking to the venue from the car park and having a great feeling of excitement before going into the show.

The biggest question of all though who was behind the formation of AEW - that man name is Tony Khan. Tony Khan states that the wheels were turning for starting a promotion in 2018 and then Tony Khan went to  All In event that was ran by Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks. After this event Tony Khan started having conversations in the following months with these talents about forming a new promotion and what he wanted to achieve and what he saw his vision was. Tony Khan advises that the way he got AEW started was by going to his father Shad Khan with a very detailed business plan of what they needed to invest and what was needed to bring it together. Tony explains that he had to present his idea to his father and it had to make good business sense for this to
