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.
