TNA Wrestling and their broadcast partner in India Sony Six have
announced a massive agreement to keep TNA Wrestling on the
network until the year 2022 (You read that right). The 7 year
deal was just announced by Sony Six earlier today.
MUMBAI: Multi Screen Media’s (MSM) sports TV station Sony Six
has signed a long-term deal with Total Nonstop Action (TNA)
wrestling, which makes Sony Six the exclusive home for all TNA
content until 2022.
The partnership also includes a commitment to the discovery and
development of talent from the Indian subcontinent to join the
TNA roster, following in the footsteps of Mahabali Shera – who
last year became TNA’s first ever Indian-born superstar.
Fans across the Indian subcontinent can watch TNA’s flagship
show Impact Wrestling every Monday night at 9 pm on Sony Six,
with TNA Wrestling’s Greatest Matches airing every Tuesday at 9
pm and TNA Xplosion each Wednesday at 9 pm. Sony Six also airs
TNA’s PPV and One Night Only events.
Since joining the Sony Six line-up in the summer of 2013, TNA
has helped Sony Six get popularity amongst sports channel across
the Indian subcontinent. Other major sports/events on Sony Six
include Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket, FIFA World Cup
soccer, NBA basketball and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
A major highlight for 2015 has been the Impact Wrestling debut
of Mahabali Shera. Introduced in a blaze of publicity by Olympic
Gold Medallist Kurt Angle, Shera has made headlines and led news
bulletins across India.
Sony Six business head Prasana Krishnan said, “We are extremely
thrilled to extend our partnership with TNA. India historically
boasts of a rich heritage in wresting and we believe, that
through this initiative, we will be taking another step forward
in reaching out to our audiences across India. The introduction
of Shera and more Indian talents will only bolster our special
televised capsule of action sports, which will feature the best
of action and combat sports. We at Sony Six look forward to
building on this fascinating sport.”
TNA president Dixie Carter added, “India has an incredible
cultural heritage with wrestling and we are thrilled to continue
this amazing partnership with Sony Six for years to come. As is
evident through this long-term deal with Sony Six, the powerful
introduction of Mahabali Shera, and our continued pledge to find
and develop Indian talent, together we are committed to growing
legions of TNA fans across the Indian subcontinent.”

It'll be interesting to see if TNA ever does a show over there.
Personally, I'd love to see a One Night Only - Global Impact PPV
be shot entirely in India. They could go all out for that one.
Get Sonjay, Khoya obviously, perhaps the Great Khali, and RJ
Singh would be great for that home country attraction.
