TNA has been forced to reschedule a weekend’s worth of shows as uncontrollable events prove to be too much to handle.
September 27th and 28th were set to see TNA hold its latest set of TV tapings in South Carolina but the company has now been forced to abandon those plans due to Hurricane Helene.
Instead, the company will hold the shows on September 29th and 30th when the worst of the looming bad weather will have passed.
TNA Issue Statement On Re-Arranged Shows
A full press release from TNA gave more details regarding the situation and confirmed the start time will be confirmed in due course for the rescheduled shows:
TNA Wrestling Re-Schedules Shows In Spartanburg, S.C. Due To Hurricane Helene
TNA Wrestling confirmed tonight that it is re-scheduling the pro wrestling shows originally scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, September 27-28, at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. Due to severe weather forecasts throughout the Southeast, TNA instead will hold its Spartanburg shows on Sunday & Monday, September 29-30, at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium.
TNA will announce the start time for the re-scheduled shows on tnawrestling.com and all social media outlets. Tickets for the Friday show can be used on Sunday and tickets for the Saturday show can be used on Monday.
Area schools also today canceled classes for Friday due to the weather forecast from Hurricane Helene.
Both Spartanburg shows will be taped for TNA’s flagship weekly TV show, iMPACT!, which airs every Thursday at 8 p.m. EST on AXS TV in the U.S. and Fight Network in Canada.
All the TNA stars will be in Spartanburg, including Nic Nemeth, Jordynne Grace, Joe Hendry, Eric Young, Ash By Elegance and Moose. Also scheduled to appear at the Spartanburg shows: Mike Santana, AJ Francis, Josh Alexander, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, Frankie Kazarian, ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey), Jake Something, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, PCO, Xia Brookside and many more.
Despite TNA’s recent partnership with WWE, the company finds itself in a dispute with WWE after they took exception at a recent trademark filing.
Everyone at Knockout Hub is sending best wishes and prayers to everybody effected by the hurricane.
