TNA’s recent 2014 UK tour was described as the “most grueling ever” and the “best ever” regarding locker room morale. The talent was very happy with working in front of larger crowds than they are used to and that they were able to tour successfully without big names like Hulk Hogan, Sting, Jeff Hardy and others. Samoa Joe gave a speech on the bus back to to the hotel with the TNA crew and how this was his toughest tour, but that it had no “prima donnas, no complainers, no whiners” and how proud he was of everyone.
