TNA Changes PPVs

TNA IMPACT WRESTLING today announced a new worldwide Pay-Per-View programming initiative for 2013.  The 52 annual episodes of IMPACT WRESTLING on SpikeTV will lead to four, live epic Pay-Per-View events commencing with “Genesis” on January 13th, “Lockdown” on March 10th, “Slammiversary” on June 9 and “Bound For Glory” on October 13th.   

In addition, seven Pay-Per-View specials that will be branded as “TNA Wrestling: One Night Only,” series will debut in April 2013 and continue throughout the year during the additional months.  The 3-hour taped Pay-Per-View specials will premiere on the first Friday of each month.  The first two “One Night Only” specials will be “Joker’s Wild Tag Team Tournament” and “X-travaganza” which will feature the X-Division. 

“The Pay-Per-View industry has changed so much in the last decade,” says TNA President Dixie Carter.  “The traditional pay-per-view wrestling model needed to evolve and we believe this strategy will positively impact not only the Pay-Per-View events but the weekly television programming as well.” 

The company will continue to produce TNA Wrestling’s “Unfinished Business”, which are one-hour programs available on a Video on Demand (VOD) basis.  The monthly titles continue to focus on the history of a rivalry or a specific past PPV event.  These titles are available for two months at a time.
