Manchester’s wrestling fans will get the chance to see their favourite TNA stars next year as the first names appearing at January’s Maximum Impact tour are now confirmed.

On January 31 at the Manchester Arena, TNA World Champion Bully Ray, Chris Sabin, Bobby Roode and Austin Aries will all be present as the tour returns to the city for a sixth consecutive year.

British star Magnus and Main Event Mafia stablemate Samoa Joe will also be performing as will tag team champions Gunner and The Cowboy James Storm, X Division champion Manik, with Gail Kim being the first Knockout on the plane.

President Dixie Carter said: “The annual Maximum Impact tour is one of the best times for everybody in TNA – when nobody does it better than us and we get the chance to get up close and personal with the fans.”

The 2014 tour will see TNA’s wrestlers perform in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Birmingham, and will feature a live broadcast from Scotland, with a TV taping scheduled for the London date at Wembley Arena.

Atendees are also being invited to buy tickets to the Fan Interaction event which happens hours before the in ring action on January 31.  Some stars (yet to be announced) will be meeting fans, having photos taken and signing autographs before preparing for the night’s show.

Tickets for the Fan Interaction events are available via TNA’s Facebook page, Ticketmaster, Gigs and Tours or through the Manchester Arena Box Office from 9am on Friday September 5, for £32.50.
