SONY SIX and TNA have announced that two of their global wrestling sensations - Kurt Angle and Gail Kim – will be arriving in India to conduct a variety of events to engage with the audiences. Kurt Angle, the Olympic Gold Medalist and multiple time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, along leading female wrestling superstar Gail Kim will travel to India on a promotional tour, that will see them visit Mumbai, Lucknow and Delhi from the 9th – 13th of December.

"Kurt is a wrestling superstar who not only garners critical following but is also a personality that attracts a huge fan base globally. With Kurt and Gail on TNA, fans will get to meet them up close and personal during their visit to India,” said Prasana Krishnan, Business Head, SONY SIX. “The sport of wrestling has been embedded into the hearts of Indian viewers since their childhood and we are thrilled to present our audiences with some of their most iconic figures in the sport of wrestling.”

Setting a different pace to the stars visit, SIX and TNA have taken an unconventional route to the tour by featuring the city of Lucknow as one of the pit stop.

Commenting on this, Krishnan added, “We have not taken the typical route of limiting the visit to main metros. Lucknow has a huge fan following for TNA and we have received tremendous response with regard to viewership from this market. We want to take this opportunity to engage with the fans and give them a real feel of the entertainment TNA has to offer.

Angle said, “I've been fortunate to travel the world with my amateur and professional wrestling career, and India is an extraordinary place. I'm thrilled to be traveling there to promote TNA and build on our growing success in the area. Meeting the great wrestling fans in person, and taking in the sights and sounds of such an incredible nation will be an unforgettable experience for me.”

“I love that India has embraced TNA in such a big way,” added Kim. “Traveling there for the first time to meet the fans and experience the rich and vibrant culture of India will be a dream come true.”

During their visit, Kurt and Gail will be a part of a variety of promotional events to seed the growth of wrestling in India.

TNA President Dixie Carter said, “We have been so pleased with the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response fans in India have shown TNA, and we cannot wait to bring Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle and reigning Knockouts Champion Gail Kim for our first press tour there.”

“SONY SIX has been a terrific partner for us as we continue to grow our worldwide programming portfolio.  We look forward to directly connecting with fans during our visit.”
