efforts, we will build TNA Wrestling in the Indian subcontinent
and with this new contract we are bringing in many more interactive
and engaging opportunities for wrestling fans in South Asia.
We are confident that fans will fully enjoy this unique experience.”
TNA
Wrestling will begin from 3 September along with two more
programmes “TNA iMPACT!” which will be aired on

for three years.
