TNA Postpones Upcoming Tour of India

TNA has announced that it is postponing its upcoming tour of India.

According to an email sent out to its talent, there are logistical complications for the event, including the safety of the performers while traveling abroad. There had been speculation that the event had been cancelled due to low ticket sales, but this is not the case as their TV partner Sony SIX was financing every aspect of the trip.

Below is the official announcement on the status of the tour:
