-In an interview on Wrestlecast podcast with the UK Sun's Rob McNichol, AJ Styles said he would like to have a TNA PPV air from the UK. He added that he wasn't worried about the PPV being taped to air in the standard US timeslot.

He said: "What baffles me the most is why we haven't run a PPV here. That's what I want to see. And not just any PPV. I want to see Slammiversary here. I want to see Bound for Glory here. These fans, they want it – let's give it to them. They'll be there, they'll watch it. What's the problem? Let's get it done. Just tape it. You'd get it a couple of hours late (in the U.S.) but people are going to buy the PPV whether it's taped or not. They're going to want to see it. If it's a money issue, then there are going to be so many people in that arena that it's not even going to be a factor.

He's not wrong you know. TNA does enough good business in this country it doesn't make sense not to. TNA isn't like WWE, their PPV figures aren't as high as WWE's, they can get away with experimenting with the timezone difference. I'm sure they can sort out a PPV deal for this country too so we have to pay for this particular show.

Set up costs will be higher, but fuck it, do what WWE won't do and capitalize on the growing UK market first. Remember how good the Impact tapings looked when they came here in January, imagine how great that'd look on PPV for the company.
