TNA Wrestling is currently on their "Maximum Impact" European tour. The company will hold two shows over the weekend in Dublin, Ireland, both at the National Stadium in consecutive sellouts. While TNA has not released the cards for the shows, the following names are advertised for the tour:
Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, Team 3D, Consequences Creed, Sheik Abdul Bashir, ODB, The Beautiful People, Abyss, Matt Morgan, and Dough Williams.
Kevin Nash was pulled from the tour because of his MRSA infection in his elbow. Christy Hemme was pulled because of a neck injury. Awesome Kong was pulled because of a back injury. It is believed that Robert Roode will be unable to compete because of an ankle injury although I haven't heard if James Storm will still work.
The first show in Dublin is tonight, the second is tomorrow night.
