TNA Postpones/cancels India tour

As noted, TNA has postponed their tour of India until 2016 some time. An official announcement will likely be issued on Thursday but the dates have been removed from their website.

TNA talents informed via e-mail this evening that the tour was postponed due to logistical issues, specifically the safety of flying abroad. The crew was scheduled to leave the United States this weekend fly to Paris, France, and then fly to India.

There are a lot of unhappy TNA talents right now, according to PWInsider, as it has already been a tough year in terms of getting steady work from TNA.

Regarding speculation on the tour being postponed due to low ticket sales, that is not the case as TNA TV partner Sony Six was financing everything.

There's no word yet on when the tour will take place but the e-mail to talents stated 2016 some time and didn't give any further details.

That's some bad luck right there, now TNA is stuck without a way to tape new episodes.

Horrible news for TNA. You would think they would take at least one-dive for the sake of the ticket buyers and workers themselves. Not only did Carter lie to her talents, but she did it just days before the plan was to happen. Most of the backstage staff and crew were already given their tickets and itineraries, for the trip. You would think they would've looked into these issues when planning the tour.

TNA is out of buildness, soon.

They are paying everyone for the tour anyways. Disappointed it's not going ahead but hey, it's a lock-on for 2016 as I hear Sony Six want for TNA to tour India once a year.

Also, be happy, this eliminates a late 2015 Shera push. Hopefully. pls.

He wasn't going to get a major push. He was going to be heavily featured on the show, like how he was heavily featured on Ring ka King. I don't expect him to get a major push, anytime soon.

I'm pretty sure he was main eventing during his time on Ring ka King and won the title on the last show.

Yeah, but that was an Indian promotion. TNA is going to spend one week tops in India. Not warranting a push for Mr. Beef, at all.

True that, but to be fair a month of TV in India could probably result in something big. I still want my Shera/Manik tag team if they're not going to give Manik the X-Division title.

From what I understand, TNA does pretty mediocre in India. There's a reason Ring ka King only did 1 season. When they had talents like Dutt, Steiner, Magnus and Morgan.

I really think TNA's push for Indian dominance, is going to fail. They should focus on the American market, rather than going to places like Zimbabwe and India.

To be fair, the Indian market has the potential to be quite big and Sony Six will be organising the tour, so it's a good move for TNA, especially when Sony Six are giving TNA a lot of money on their TV deal. It's not like they could've focused on Ring ka King when they have these talents who would want to wrestle primarily in America, leaving pretty much only the Indian wrestlers. Zimbabwe and India are not even close, TNA can probably draw a decent crowd in India anyways.
